Content marketing Types
Vanity Content Things like press release and
propaganda falls under this category. They simply
dont work now. Audience is really not interested
in the glories of your past or your crap history.
In Fact they have been exposed so much to this
tactic that they have outlived it. Vanity content
might work in places where you need to voice your
credentials, but using it as a marketing strategy
is surely going to give you a bad
taste. Conversational Content Starting a
conversation with your audience is the one of the
best thing you could do. Its a content marketing
strategy that has a high rate of success.Why?
Because brands are actually encouraging a two way
dialogue. We are talking about us, how we can
help each other. The care factor comes to play
and chances of people hugging and kissing your
story becomes very real.

Convictional Content Lets talk about you!
This strategy always has takers. Here our story
is not about me or us but its about you. The
marketers here are putting a very powerful and
emotional appeal in to their audience with their
story or content. This strategy goes beyond the
business angle and leads to something holistic
which is bigger than everything else. This
strategy actually forces the audience to act, and
thats what we all want as marketers. Viral
Content This is the best kind of content that a
content marketer can create. It provides both
reach and conversion. However not every content
that becomes viral is for marketing. Creating a
content which has a chance to become viral
requires great insights on the planning part. As
it is often seen that viral content crosses the
boundaries of demography and other parameters.

Measuring Content Marketing ROI
1. Brand Awareness and Visibility If the goal
of your campaign is brand awareness and
visibility, then you would want more people
coming to your website or page, also you would
want them to spend some productive time there.
This can easily be gauged by looking at the click
through rate,time spent on the site, bounce rate
and the number of subscribers that we get through
our campaign. 2. Brand Health Metrics If we
have put out a message out to the world, we would
certainly want to know what impact did it have on
the audience. Brand health is hence determined by
the volume of positive and negative feedback that
the communication has received. This also lets us
know the importance of the brand for customers.
Brand health is generally measured by looking at
the share of voice i.e. the number of times our
brand is discussed when compared to competition.
Sentiment i.e. Whether people are talking good
things or bad things about us, or they are just
neutral. Brand Influence It is just the number
of times our post or message is shared on the
social platforms.

content marketing. 4. Sales Usual e-commerce
metrics like CTR and time spent on page lets us
know which specific piece on content is impacting
our sales conversion rate. This calibration can
really help boost the bottom line of any digital
setup. 5. Innovation Metrics This tool is used
