8. Infuse content with empathy
Empathy in content creation means anticipating user needs, guiding them through challenges, and creating a supportive experience. As Roshni Shaikh, a conversion strategist from Cape Agency, says, “Content shouldn’t convey empathy. Empathy comes before content.”
How to infuse empathy into your content:
Walk in their shoes:
Imagine your potential customer’s journey. If you sell athletic wear, think about a beginner who might feel unsure about what to buy. Beyond products, share beginner tips, explain the best materials for comfort, and include resources like a size guide or style inspirations.
Leverage analytics and feedback:
Use tools like Sprout Social for social media monitoring or Moz Pro for site analytics to gather Insights into what resonates with customers. Pay close attention to sentiment in reviews, comments, and social media posts. Are they sharing frustrations or positive experiences? Use this data to guide empathetic content decisions.
Link to complementary resources:
Linking to helpful external resources, such as industry reports or guides, shows users you care about their success. Reputable links improve your content’s value and demonstrate that you’re invested in meeting their needs.
