Video Will Reign

According to the increasing trend, 51% of marketers want to boost their investment in short video content marketing. It is not without cause. According to a HubSpot analysis, short videos yield the best ROI when compared to other content forms.

Short attention spans are frequently a source of frustration for marketers, and short videos are an effective way to target this attention span by exploiting people’s fragmented timelines. Short videos attract more visitors with a greater retention rate due to their characteristics that check all the appropriate boxes, making them one of the most shared content. 

The popularity of short videos is like a pathogen; it spreads as the number of social media users rises. And, because social media is always evolving, short videos are bound to have an advantage when it comes to content marketing in 2023.

Email Marketing Will Continue Being Effective

Email marketing has been around for a long and is still effective at driving visitors and leads to a website. According to the Content Marketing Institute, more than 75% of respondents feel that email marketing is the most successful content delivery medium. You may send out weekly or monthly emails with new information to your mailing list.

If you want to grow your subscriber base or keep the ones you already have, you should offer them unique content from time to time that is not published anywhere else on your site. This is a powerful method to make your fans feel appreciated. Because most marketing emails wind up in spam bins, strive to personalize your email newsletters by addressing your readers by their first names.

Since most consumers now read their emails on their phones, make sure your email newsletters are mobile-friendly. Create a professional-looking email newsletter. Include a catchy header and topic lines. Use subheadlines, photos, and videos as needed.

Personalized Content Is The Only Way To Go

Before the technological and digital boom, customers expected businesses to appear professional and formal. That will not work in 2023. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, customers want to engage with companies that they believe are ‘known’ or make them feel special.

Avoid creating business-focused or disconnected content. Your material must make it clear that you connect with your clients; otherwise, it will not reach your target demographic. Use relatability, emotions, and empathy to your advantage. That is the key to establishing genuine connections with your followers.

It’s not only about producing feel-good content. Nearly 95% of customers prefer brands that are transparent and authentic, and 75% are willing to pay more to support real businesses. Human-focused content is essential if you want to gain genuine consumer support.
