You won’t hear many construction industry professionals say, “I wrote the book on…” There aren’t that many books written about content marketing using construction data. There simply aren’t that many construction-industry books, period.
What is Construction Industry Content Marketing?
Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach…to drive profitable customer action. –Content Marketing Institute
If it sounds to you as if content marketing is a fancy name for advertising, you’re right. Kind-of.
Advertising takes a direct approach. “Buy now.” “Visit our showroom.” And these words are used in billboards, television, radio, newspaper, direct mail, and other traditional advertising venues.
Content marketing is more subtle. Construction industry content marketing targets your specific customers (You sell lighting; you need to appeal to interior designers, homeowners and architects.).
You share information that appeals to these potential customers: “Why Direct Sunlight is More Popular Than Ever in Commercial Construction.”
It’s advertising, but you’re using the internet and social media as your billboards. This is truly the Information Age and consumers want to know more about…everything.
