Content and Covid

Content and Covid

Our world has changed so much in the last year and a half. And while we are all still adjusting to the "new" normal, now is the time to take a good look at how we embrace our digital footprint.

It's easy to slip into the habit of using Covid in our blogs and other written content because we know that it will guarantee us traffic to our site. However, the question we should be asking ourselves is: "does that truly represent our brand story?" or are we just looking for hits? And while I agree that we should take advantage of a changing environment, we should always be very careful as to how to do this when it comes to our business.

As we move towards the middle of 2021 here are some interesting content trends to keep your eyes on:

The AI or Chatbot:

The Newsletter:

Facebook/Instagram Live:

Content Communities:

The Content Experience:

Re-purposing Content Across Channels:

SEO (Your New, Old Best Friend):

Online offerings:

So, as you can see there are a lot of ways you can take advantage of the "new" normal without mentioning the dreaded "C" word in your blogs and still drive traffic to your webpage. These options also increase your digital footprint. Let's all embrace the new trends and I can't wait to see you on Facebook Live soon.
