Kimmology • Are you an excellent marketer? Show, don't just tell.:

Content Marketing

Research and explore is my way of learning. I am not an expert in this topic, just a newbie who wants to share while I learn.

Consumers today are more educated and tend to do their own research before they decide on the purchase of a product. Content Marketing is a way to communicate to consumers by creating and sharing contents. Instead of regular sales pitch, you are helping potential customers to make decision by feeding them with relevant information.

Know Infographics

Infographics are ways of presenting information, data and knowledge using visual graphics. Nothing new, as they are quite commonly used and seen in our daily lives, like maps, news media, signs, education, etc.
