Interactive content
People want to engage with content for a personalized experience. This includes quizzes, polls, and playable ads that let your audience be part of the story.
Infographics
These visual storytelling tools share information in an easily understood way through different formats:
- Timelines share a company’s history, planned steps or future projections.
- Flowcharts break down complex tasks into small, manageable steps.
- Comparisons list the pros and cons or similarities and differences between two options.
- Maps quickly share geographical information.
- Statistics make a point while helping understand and retain data.
Feel-good stories
People enjoy reading and sharing heartwarming stories. For instance, you can share content about your company’s charitable work that inspires strong positive emotions.
Videos
Mobile device users spend a significant amount of time watching and sharing videos each day. The content is easy to consume, entertaining and informative. You can post videos of people using your product or service and enjoying the benefits.
Memes
Shareable cultural “inside jokes” are funny and relatable. Ensure your content is relevant to the times for maximum exposure.
Listicles
Blending a list and an article lets readers know what the content is about and what they will gain from reading it. Readers can skim the highlights and main points. Include images to generate social traction.
How-to guides
People want tips to save time and money while solving problems and filling needs. They enjoy learning better ways to do things through blog posts, videos and other content. As a result, demonstrating the easiest way to use your product, complete a process or improve your customers’ quality of life encourages people to share your content.
