By now, you’ve no doubt heard the expression, “Content is King” when it comes to marketing. But that doesn’t mean small business owners are very effective at content marketing.
Here are a few key stats from CMO.com that drive home the importance of having a good content marketing strategy:
- The most effective B2B marketers spend 39% of their marketing budgets on content.
- Visual content is a key component in each of the top five most effective B2B marketing tactics.
- Forty-seven percent of the most effective B2C content marketers have a documented strategy, while only 5% of the least effective do. This trend is mirrored in B2B content marketing, where 54% of the most effective practitioners have a documented strategy, compared with 11% of the least effective.
