It is always difficult to try something new. We are comfortable with the old way of doing things, and we know what to expect. But when you’re trying to grow your business, the old way can deal a devastating blow to your bottom line, especially when it comes to generating inbound marketing leads. So, you want to be creative in your marketing efforts and find ways for your customers to find you. This can be done through sharing unique content online. Still, once customers have learned what you have to say, they will come back only as long as you can offer them something new to discover. If your content continues to regurgitate the same old material over and over again, they will soon lose interest and move on to more interesting pastures. Here are some ideas that could refresh your strategy!
Offer Classes
One way you can turn your business into a lead magnet is to offer classes to the consumer. These do not have to be too complicated; simply making a video that can be downloaded or played over the internet can generate many new leads. By requesting email contact information in exchange for a free online tutorial, you can motivate people to connect with your company and stay with you for years.
E-Books
Some businesses create their own e-books as a way to generate new sales leads. This is an extremely popular way to not only educate your consumers but also to build up your reputation as an expert in your field. Make sure that you choose a subject that will offer a fresh new way of looking at your product or service but is something that you are highly knowledgeable about. This will set you up as an expert in your field and make you the go-to person, which will in turn bring the customer straight to you.
Guest Blogs
You can also take advantage of other experts in your field in order to generate new sales leads. By connecting your business to a vast number of industry experts, you provide your potential customers with all sorts of fresh new information they can take advantage of. This can be a powerful tool if you are able to enlist the services of a well known figure in your industry, which is one that your consumers already are familiar with and know well. Promoting these experts can get your consumers excited and full of anticipation for the next interview/blog. If it is successful, you might want to consider going a step further and turning it into a downloadable video or audio file that you can give in exchange for personal information.
