5 Top Tips to use a variety of content formats in your marketing

Creating a variety of content formats is essential for reaching and engaging your target audience in different ways.

By using a combination of text, images, video, audio, and other content formats, you can appeal to different learning styles and preferences, and increase the chances of your content being shared and consumed.

• One of the most important considerations when using a variety of content formats is understanding your audience’s preferences. Different audiences have different preferences for consuming content, and it’s essential to understand these preferences so that you can create content that appeals to them. For example, if your target audience is primarily made up of visual learners, you may want to focus on creating more visual content, such as infographics and videos.
• Another important consideration when using a variety of content formats is the purpose of the content. Different content formats are better suited to different purposes, and it’s essential to understand these purposes so that you can create content that is effective. For example, if your purpose is to educate your audience on a specific topic, you may want to create an in-depth blog post or a video tutorial.

• When using a variety of content formats, it’s important to consider the platforms and channels that you will use to distribute your content. Each platform and channel has its strengths and weaknesses, and it’s essential to understand these so that you can create content that is optimised for each platform. For example, video content may perform better on platforms like YouTube, whereas text-based content may perform better on platforms like LinkedIn.
• Another important consideration when using a variety of content formats is branding and tone of voice. It’s essential to ensure that your content is consistent with your brand’s messaging and tone of voice, regardless of the format. For example, if your brand is known for being humorous and light-hearted, you should ensure that your videos, images, and audio content reflect this tone.

• Finally, it’s important to consider analytics and measurement when using a variety of content formats. It’s essential to track and measure the performance of your content so that you can understand what is working and what isn’t. By using analytics tools like Google Analytics and social media analytics, you can track metrics like engagement, reach, and conversions, and make data-driven decisions about your content strategy. As Marcus Sheridan suggests, it’s important to also track and measure the ROI of your content marketing.

By determining which format of content is driving the most leads and sales, you can focus on creating more of that type of content and optimise it for better results.
