Things to keep in mind while creating content 

Once you are done with your market research and have hands-on knowledge about what other local players are doing, you are all set to begin with your strategy. 

However, to make it quick and impactful for your business, we have curated some must to-do points that should be a part of your content strategy.

Connect with your audiences

Any and every piece of content should be customer-focused. During the festive shopping, a buyer usually looks for the brighter side (utility component) of the product for his or her family. It is important to highlight and showcase the pros of the product through your writing. 

For example, if you are into a clothing marketplace, make sure you choose to talk about the trend of wearing new clothes during the festive season. In this way, your customer will be able to relate more with the product and will make the purchase easy.

Add Festive mood to your content

It is important for you to bring the joy and happiness of the festival in your business’s content. This will help in immediately connecting with the customer and will be an add-on motivation to make the purchase.

Buyers have a high tendency to make a purchase after knowing about the product’s credibility and usage during and post the Diwali season. 

Highlight on discounts and offers

Diwali is all about shopping and buying things that were always in the list of buyers. If a buyer is able to notice the ongoing offers or discounts, there are 50% more chances that he will make the informed decision instantly. 

You can add those offers or discount coupons to your product. And to make sure that the customers or site visitors know about it, highlight them in your content. The promotional content should go viral and should reach all your potential buyers. 

Add relevant search keywords to the content

The above mentioned steps are relevant to inbound marketing of the products. This means, they are mostly focused on connecting with existing customer base. But what if you want to go ahead and pitch the new ones? The best strategy is to optimize your content and stuff the relevant search keywords in it. 

This can be helpful in ensuring that whenever there is a relevant search made on the internet, your content will come up. This will help you to be a part of any random yet relevant search in the market.

For this, you might need to sit and narrow down the relevant keywords with high search volume. Once you are able to shortlist them, you can go ahead and add them to your existing content as well as for future content too.
