Have you noticed how noisy it is out there in marketing land? If your ears are buzzing from the cacophony, come join us over here in consumer engagement land – it’s much more exciting and fun!
Today, consumers expect more than mass-market brand messages and actively silence digital “noise” that doesn’t speak to them as individuals or invite them to co-create your brand’s identity through participatory marketing.
Not sure what I mean by participatory marketing? Think digital engagement through social media and new technology that allows you to have conversations and build relationships with your consumers. The key is to understand what your consumers care about and tap into their passions, hopes and dreams.
Cause marketing is a good way to do just that. Download our new eGuide to find out how you can understand and adapt the latest trends in cause marketing to deepen your relationships with consumers. (And find out how Network for Good can help you do it.)
Regardless of which cause marketing trend fits your consumer engagement goals, the recipe for success is clear: start with an authentic cause partnership, set meaningful social impact and business goals, add a compelling call to action, layer in relevant social sharing and co-create a thoughtful conversation with your consumers about the collective impact you are making.
Are you ready to transform your cause marketing and win the hearts of your consumers?
