What Consumers Want From Brand Content

By


While consumers are cautious in their viewing and sharing of information, brands can influence purchase activity with their content efforts. Following are insights from a recent study:


1. Why Brand Content is Valuable: Information; Differentiation

  • Consumers prefer content that provides information, not promotions.
  • Content helps consumers choose between products/services and helps them make a final decision.
  • Informative content is valuable to consumers even after they’ve made their purchase.

2. So What is Good Content? It’s Accurate and Informative (chart below)

  • Accuracy in content is most important: 38% rank it number one; 65% place it in their top two.
  • Informative content runs a close second: 26% rank it number one; 60% place it in their top two.
  • Simplicity is third in importance: 31% rank it in the top two; 60% place it in the top half.

3. Consumers Prefer Content That is Precise, Relevant, Fresh

  • Consumers prefer content that is both precise and adequately written.
  • Nearly 70% of consumers say relevant content is important when learning about a product/service.
  • Two-thirds of consumers tend to make a purchase if content is fresh, includes video/images and is optimized.

4. Content That is Cause-Related/Informative/Valuable is Shared and Triggers Purchases

  • 35% shared content that raised awareness for a good cause.
  • 34% shared content that was informative, not promotional.
  • 57% made a purchase as a result of valuable online content.

Content is invaluable as it is an integral part of a consumer’s purchasing decision.
