Many marketers are struggling to connect with Generation Z. According to a recent article on Market Week, “communicating with these teenagers is a minefield, leaving in its wake a cemetery” of misplaced content, ill-judged products, and, overall, rejected marketing. Here’s how brands can create content that resonates with Gen Z.

It all makes sense because the Generation Z cohort is different. For one, they’re already so familiar with tech that nothing “awes” them. So, you need to get to the point right away or risk rejection. Moreover, their early exposure to the internet means they often know more than you do, making marketing even harder.

Fortunately, Tequia Burt, Editor in Chief, LinkedIn Marketing Solutions Blog, has a few ideas on creating content that connects with your Gen Z targets.

For example;

Be authentic

The first step is to focus on authentic marketing, as regurgitated content is a big turnoff among this demographic. They’ve likely seen or heard about if someone has already published it. So, you need to give them something different, or you’ve just lost their attention.

Show ambition

Generation Zs favor growth. They have a  “can’t miss” attitude that drives them towards big goals. As such, they tend to lean more towards ambitious brands that challenge previously held standards and norms.

Check out Burt’s LinkedIn post to learn other clever ways to create content that resonates with Gen Z.

30 Proven Ideas To Increase Ecommerce Conversions.
Your ecommerce site may get a lot of visitors, but that doesn’t matter much if the conversion rate is low. Attracting potential customers isn’t enough. You have to turn them into actual customers. If you’re at a loss on where to start, apply these proven ideas to your landing page to increase Ecommerce conversions.

Ideas to Increase Ecommerce Conversion

1) Product descriptions

Customers can’t inspect the products in person when shopping online, so give them complete information instead. Depending on the product, you can provide dimensions, quality, pricing, and other details relevant to the products. You can increase conversion rate by 108%.

2) Product videos

Photos are fine, but customers want to see products in action. Share videos that clearly show how your products are used in typical scenarios. Viewers of such videos have 174% more chance of being converted.

3) Customer reviews

Many people would prefer to patronize businesses with an established good reputation. Therefore, by adding reviews from previous and present customers, you can boost sales by around 60%.

4) Call to action

A CTA encourages visitors to take the next steps you wish them to do. It can be as simple as leaving their contact details, or as big as making a purchase. As a matter of fact, prominent and compelling CTAs can increase conversions by a whopping 591%.

The value of content marketing cannot be overstated. Without aggressive content marketing, your digital campaign is as good as dead. So how do you write copy that generates results?

Unfortunately, content marketing isn’t as easy as we’d wish. It’s not just about putting words together and throwing articles around. Instead, you must create well-researched pieces that add value. Moreover, your pieces must be targeted to reach your audience and optimized for search engines. Doing both can be a massive challenge.

To this end, SEMRush recently conducted research to determine what makes the perfect content marketing campaign. Specifically, the team set out to find out how to create content that generates conversions. Their findings were truly eye-opening. Among other things, the study found that highly converting content pieces share a few crucial qualities.

How to Write Copy that Generates Results

A well-thought keyword strategy

You must identify your primary and secondary keywords from the outset. Otherwise, you’re doomed to fail. About 44% of poorly ranking websites don’t have a keyword strategy.

Optimized headlines

The headline must contain your primary keyword (or keyword phrase). It must also be actionable and specific.

Readability

People read at different levels. So, it would help if you wrote at your audience’s reading level. Otherwise, your content may be too complex or too simplistic for the audience.

Check out the rest of the findings in this Semrush infographic to determine whether you’re writing your content pieces the right way.
