Research shows that many businesses today have started using digital channels to engage and attract potential customers, and acquire new customers. Well, that’s not entirely true because a lot more than attracting and acquiring new customers is happening. About 64% of Indian marketers state that content marketing is really essential for increasing a brand’s awareness, and 53% say that it helps in attracting and retaining customers. But first, let’s take a look at the evolution of B2B content marketing to better understand what has actually changed over the years:

Old is Gold:

We all have heard this phrase. Some people may agree to this while some may not. But the reason I’ve mentioned this phrase here is because content marketing is really old. Not many of us are aware of this. But it really is old. I’m sure you still cannot make the connection yet. It was in the year 1895, when magazines were introduced and published in the market. Magazine content consisted of images and useful information about the different products and services.

Of course, today if you ask people what according to them is content marketing, you will get a straightforward answer, ‘online marketing’. It’s not incorrect, but it’s not completely true. Content marketing can be done online and offline both. Without content in today’s world, nothing would come by easy! I’m sure you can make the connection now.

Omnipresent B2B Tactic:

Believe it or not, content is everywhere and it’s the backbone of Google as well. Content is nothing but information. As the world already has changed, your business marketing tactics must transform as well. If you stick to the traditional marketing methods, your business won’t gain enough traction and attention.

The reason why content is considered to be omnipresent is because of it’s effectiveness and significance.  Many small and large organisations with the help of content marketing services are able to generate leads which are then followed by sales. Additionally, content production rate has been growing tremendously over the past few years because many businesses have realized the significance of online marketing.

Future is Here:

This means that we are living in an era where we can easily get anything and everything by pressing a few buttons with our finger tips. E-commerce has made this possible and B2B content marketing extensively supports such businesses. Content marketing helps customers and other businesses spread relevant information through online content.

In the olden days, content marketing was not so popular due to various reasons. However, today, the tables have turned because of technology and Google, of course! Content marketing has made the world virtually a smaller place.

The Beginning:

Yes, this is the beginning of a new world. A world that is driven with technological advancements and held close together with the help of content marketing. Your business can be known by the citizens of various countries if you have an online presence. People and businesses have started to know and work with each other without actually being in the same company or country.

Content Marketing for businesses is essential. Your business needs to be recognised and ranked high on search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. If your business does not have an online presence yet, then in that case you are not even old, but simply ignorant. And remember, ignoring content marketing for your business is not blissful at all, rather it’s a huge loss. You don’t want your business to not have any recognition or presence in this digitally driven world.
