Ways to a Strong Foundation

  A value proposition is siting out reasons why the product is valuable to your customers. The content should be able to showcase your brand’s value with direct communication using lots of active words – “You” and “Yours”.

• Defining your brand voice:

  Defining a personality for your brand helps the customers to know and connect more with your products. Consistency and carrying on the same personality everywhere such as while posting on social media and communicating helps the brand to create a mark. Alongside, a unique style is also portrayed which differs or stands you out from the rest.

  A content strategy is a marketing strategy where one plans out an approach such as identifying the audience, choosing the right formats, and distribution platform, maintaining, and choosing a schedule for your writing. It can be done through various mediums such as blogs, e-books, videos, articles, and newsletters.

Writing engaging content
