You’ve been watching your sales numbers fall for over a month all thanks to the coronavirus, the new four(ish) letter word.
In the last few weeks, you’ve pushed through incredibly difficult obstacles just to make sure your business survives. And we want to be sure you know this: you’re doing a great job.
And you’re not alone! The reality is, every business across the globe is struggling to navigate through this crisis.
That’s why I wrote this blog post. I want to empower you to successfully navigate through this chaos and build a thriving online presence for your business.
Surviving the economic impact of a global pandemic is a first for all of us. But, 8 Signal has learned so much by helping our clients create messaging that allows their unique brand voice to stand out amongst the chaos of the online world, driving high-converting online sales.
With that in mind, here are three tips we here at 8 Signal recommend for creating dynamic sales content that converts to actual revenue rather than falling flat.
Creating Content that Connects and Converts
If you want to increase sales during COVID-19, you have to remember the first rule of writing effective online sales content:
1. Remember that the content you create is being consumed by actual people.
You may be thinking, “Of course I know that, that’s too basic!” but I can’t tell you how many businesses forget this key realization! So before you start pumping out content, think about your target audience and what they’re specifically experiencing because of COVID-19.
The sooner you assess the needs they’re experiencing in this crisis, the more your content will resonate with your target audience.
2. Engage your audience in conversation instead of talking about yourself.
It’s easy to start a piece of marketing content with facts about your amazing company, your incredible services, and how you can meet your client’s needs better than anyone else. But to be honest, your potential clients aren’t going to care about any of that until you prove that you care about them.
You need to create engaging content that allows your target audience to open up about their COVID-19 experiences, needs, and thoughts. Then, after hearing them out and affirming their fears, frustrations, and feelings, lead the conversation into this next point:
3. Demonstrate how your products and services provide the solutions they need.
Don’t just tell your target audience that your products are the solution. Show them.
As my mom used to say, “Actions speak louder than words.”
(There, Mom, I listened — are you proud of me?!)
You’ve shown your target audience that you see where they’re coming from and that you care about helping them. Now, you need to give them authentic examples of how your skills, products, and/or services have provided solutions to others in their same situation.
Marketing content that’s backed up by real experiences from genuine people will increase sales during COVID-19 and beyond because it proves to your potential clients that your company delivers the goods — literally.
