As a marketer, it’s hard not to cringe when you see a terrible ad or any content go out by a business that simply isn’t doing them any favors. In some cases, they are hurting themselves, but most of the time, they have simply wasted time and money. Your marketing content should scream your brand standards, have a clear message/sell, and a clear call-to-action for your audience to take. It should be succinct and lead consumers easily to the point of sale. Some of the most effective content marketing is an interactive style. This can involve things like contests on social media or helpful tools you make readily available to anyone that helps them in their research before making a purchase. Things like this make your company approachable and encourage interaction which is never a bad thing. Check out these stats on just how effective interactive marketing actually is.

Some people and companies have not come to the understanding that they can use a LinkedIn profile to generate leads. LinkedIn isn’t just a social platform. It is a tool.
