How to Create Content That Keeps Them Coming Back

Are you wondering how to generate content ideas to keep your website fresh, informative, and engaging? Focus on your clients and your community, of course! Here are a few ways you can create content that keeps customers and prospects coming back for more.

Be Interesting and Innovative

The key to inspiring your social consumer to return to your website or social media platforms regularly is to create content that is both interesting and innovative. Don’t feel that you need to cover the same topic as everyone else is discussing (unless it is something your community requests).

You also don’t have to deliver content in the same old format. How about a video montage or a musical mash-up to convey your message? Mix it up and let your brand style and personality shine through.

Make it Thoughtful and  Thought-Provoking

The content you share doesn’t always have to be about your product or service. Take a page from Seth Godin, who writes around concepts to make a point. Tell a story, share an experience, or invite someone else’s perspective. In other words, THINK!

Showcase Your Industry-Related Knowledge

If your online community looks to you for industry news, it is time you started sharing it. If you have insight on handling a particularly tricky area of business, or there are things you’ve learned along the way, share those tips. Tailor your content to your specific industry/niche to establish yourself as a thought leader within your community.

Fulfill a Need

Do people come to your site or social platforms looking for product information, instructional videos, and answers to frequently asked questions? Create content around those items. Tap into what you’re hearing from your customer service, sales, and community management teams. They’re on the front lines speaking directly to your clients. Do your best to provide your clients with the content they need, and you’ll always have returning visitors.

Create Content Your Prospects Will Find Helpful

Do you know which areas of your website are the most popular or which content is getting the most views? This could be the content that your community finds the most helpful. You can also ask your community directly what content they’d like to see on your site. Show them that their opinions matter by taking their suggestions into account and creating relevant content around them. “How To” content could be key to helping your online visitors, or perhaps a “Best of” series that will not only delight, but also educate.
