Content Repurposing Is The Secret To Smarter Content Strategy And Higher ROI

Content marketing doesn't end after publishing a blog. The real magic happens when content repurposing enters the picture and rejuvenates the old content. Think of it as content recycling for brands-whether what you have is turned from one form to another so as to reach a distinct set of audiences, gains more engagement and the shelf life of your newfound creation.

Imagine you have composed a great blog on the advantages of email marketing. Instead of letting it sit quietly on the website, it should be turned into a short video for social media, an infographic showcasing key stats or a LinkedIn post series. Now, that same content interacts with several touchpoints in the audience's journey.

Why Content Repurposing Matters

The statistics don't lie. A HubSpot study shows that 73% of people skim through blog posts instead of reading them completely. Conversely, according to Wyzowl, 73% of consumers would prefer to learn about a product or service through short video clips. This means that your finest-written blogs do not really go all the way unless you repurpose them into formats like social media content or some other engaging display.

• Extended reach: Various formats appeal to different audience preferences.
