largely shifted the conversation from “Why digital?” to “What digital
strategy?” Digital marketing strategies are today’s epicenter of focus
and investment. The facts and figures reveal that and the process of
expansion inspires it.

3. Digital Content Marketing is important because it is effective and it is effective for
the following essential reasons
Exposure
Email. Text. Follow. Subscribe. Like. Download. All fit comfortably into our present-day rubric of
common online communication and engagement, both at the personal and professional level. Digital
content marketing gives you access to the kind of wide-ranging, on-target, multi-dimensional exposure you
crave but can’t find in a traditional print program.
THE FACTS

4. Reach
The fact of the matter is, digital can confidently promise a quick and easy million-person reach (provided
the content is there) while print lingers in the thousands. The newspapers, magazines, brochures and
publications of yesterday were a vital middleman bridge between businesses and their customers, but they
confined and restricted channels of communication between the two parties. Digital content marketing
effectively cuts out the middleman and establishes a more meaningful, one-to-one system of engagement
between businesses and their customers..

5. Cost
Should I buy the $9.99 paperback or the $5.99 Kindle edition? The $12.99 album, or the $9.99 MP3
download? We’ve all faced that 21st century dilemma of having to sacrifice the traditional likability of a
paperback book for a convenient and cost-friendly digital download. But the strategic basis for adopting a
digital content marketing program is truly revealed by its cost effectiveness. Not only are businesses able
to distribute digital content for less, customers are more inclined to respond positively to the offer of a
cheaper option.

6. Expansion
64% of Americans own a smartphone. 32% of American adults own an eReader. 87% of
American adults use the Internet. The numbers are at first glance seemingly unsurprising given our
collective social, professional and informational dependencies on smartphones, eReaders and the
power of the Internet. What needs to be noted is that these numbers are not only clearly expanding,
but are representative of a business’ potential for expansion as well. Today’s businesses have the
unique privilege of undergoing the step-by-step journey through the digital content marketing world
by launching a website, starting a Facebook page, developing a mobile eReader app.

8. The practical and conceptual benefits of introducing your business to the rapidly
changing digital era are clear and obvious, but the figures tell a more complicated
story. Digital content marketing is not just important because of what it can offer,
but because it has so many layers and dimensions. Twitter. Facebook. Tumblr.
WordPress. LinkedIn. Slideshare. Android. Apple. Amazon. Today’s
platforms and delivery systems are amassing and knowing how to reach your
audience through a digital content marketing strategy that comprehends when,
where and how to navigate the digital age could not be more important. The
following figures demonstrate that digital content marketing is full of complexity and
diversity with varying levels of emphasis by company and as such understanding the
process and its nature is key to making sound decisions.
