The trading company, success is as much about your toolkit as it is about your skillsets. Without great tools at your disposal, your ability to get the job done is really hampered. • Testing out new campaigns • Announcing company news and PR • Promoting new products/services • Attracting inbound links • Gaining key insights into your audience and customer base • The trading company helps in many ways to benefit businesses by increasing:
. Better Rankings • In the world of search engine optimization, “content is king” – and trading is one of the most effective ways to add publicity to your website. Blogging increases the number of indexed pages on your site, which helps boost search engine rankings and drive more traffic. • Brand Exposure • A frequently updated blog full of quality content can serve as the core of your marketing efforts. Sharing blog posts via Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, email marketing campaigns and other outlets opens up opportunity for shares, likes, and more positive exposure for your brand.
. Trusted Information • Blogs inherently have a personal feel to them. As a result, they tend to be a more trusted source of information for people searching online. • In fact, blogs have been rated as the 5th most trusted source for accurate online information. With your blog, you can show off your business’s “personality” and flare while offering valuable insights to current and prospective customers. • In doing so, your brand will earn “brownie points” as a reputable and trusted source of information. Furthermore, relevancy and reputation are key ranking factors for Google.
Industry Authority • Blogging about newsworthy topics related to your industry, your customers and the world around you positions your company as a thought leader. • A blog also gives your business a voice, and a chance to prove your expertise to your audience. • Consistently creating content to help your target customer establishes authority in their eyes and can be a particularly valuable tool for your Sales and Customer Service departments • Lead Generation
Once you have a steady stream of traffic coming to your blog, it becomes one of your business’s greatest assets for attracting new lead opportunities. Each new indexed post is another opportunity to convert traffic into quality leads. Simply including a lead-generating call-to-action button with each blog post is good place to start. • Cost Effective • Blogging is also extremely cost-effective. Marketing data proves that the average company saves 20K per year by investing more in inbound marketing (blogging, Knowledge Center articles, podcasts, e-books, etc.) than outbound (paid advertising, trade shows, email blasts, telemarketing, etc.).
