If you’ve been reading along with us for the month of November, I’m sure you’ve seen a reoccurring topic lately: interactive landing pages.

Landing pages are beginning to evolve along with the rise of interactive content, which means that your audience is no longer impressed with a static page and simple form to get them to convert.

But that doesn’t always mean that what’s behind the form has to be interactive as well. We all have our signature assets — those PDFs that you know are extremely valuable just the way they are. And while we are all for you transforming those PDFs into interactive experiences, it is perfectly fine to have static content behind your form.

So how can your landing page entice visitors to provide their information for what you know is a valuable static content piece after the gate?

On this week’s Ask Audrey, ion’s Director of Customer Engagement explains how you can leverage interactive elements on both your landing page and conversion path to encourage your online visitors to convert.

We’ve all seen them. We click through an email or a placed ad and arrive to a page that’s less than exciting. We might get some imagery, some copy, and a less-than-appealing form to fill out, trusting that whatever is on the other side of that form is actually what we want — crossing our fingers that the information we just gave away is worth the content provided to us.

However, unfortunately, more and more landing pages just haven’t been living up to the hype of the content given. And with the instant gratification given to our audience online now, many people just aren’t converting on landing pages as much as they used to. They expect excitement, interaction, and value before they give up their private information.

So how can you add value to your landing pages, not only to the user but also to you as a marketer yourself? This week, ion’s Director of Customer Engagement gives you a few ideas on how to revive your tired landing pages with the use of interactive elements.

For some organizations, the struggle is real. Enterprise organizations can have some huge wins with interactive content. However, here at ion, we’ve seen some that cannot seem to get more than one or two experiences out the door and gaining insights… while others see interactive content spread across every single division of their company.

This success isn’t by accident. It takes a champion, or sometimes a team of champions, to really push interactive content forward.

This week on Ask Audrey, ion’s Director of Customer Engagement explains what goes into seeing that rapid expansion of interactive content and how you can create that excitement in your own company.

If you’re just now diving into interactive content, it can almost feel daunting. From drafting the concept of the experience, to deciding what interactive elements to use where, to testing. Sometimes, it might seem like just pressing an “easy” button to have a program do it for you would be a lifesaver.

And while automation for many things in content marketing really can be lifesavers, interactive content just simply is not one of them. The beauty of interactive content is the ability to completely reimagine the static content you have in front of you. And while much of the same content may be highlighted in the experience, it takes a resilient, intelligent marketer to really strategize how that interactive experience will boost the online visitor’s interaction with your asset.

In this week’s Ask Audrey, ion’s Director of Customer Engagement speaks to how automating these experiences can hinder your interactive content strategy and why it’s worth it to keep the creation process as close to a human marketer as possible.

As a content marketer, your goal is to always make sure your content is cutting through the clutter and standing out among the crowd. Along with that burden on your shoulders, you have to make sure your audience is interacting with it, and not just downloading your PDF and throwing it to the side to “read later.”

So in comes interactive content. You’ve heard about it. You’re curious about it. You’ve even journeyed through a few experiences yourself of other content marketers’ out there and thought to yourself, “I can totally make this happen for my brand.”

But then you freeze. Where do you start? How do you know what to do? Don’t worry — we’ve got your back!

On this week’s Ask Audrey, ion’s Director of Account Development, Asa Hochhauser, joins Audrey to give you the advice you need to launch that very first interactive content experience and how you can make sure it’s a success.

Interactive content can be a huge aid in bridging the communication gap between sales and marketing, allowing marketing to have further insights into what content your audience is interested in and allowing sales to see what your audience needs or wants. Both sides are provided with an additional level of insight that is often missing with static content.

All this month, we are focusing on interactive content for sales enablement, which means ion’s Director of Customer Engagement Audrey Ross is teaming up with ion’s Director of Account Development Asa Hochhauser for the Ask Audrey series to talk everything there is interactive content for sales.

We all know the underdog. You know, the one who no one really expects to win. But every now and then, the underdog comes out on top and stuns everyone. And to their surprise, the underdog is no longer so underrated, but now looked at in amazement and a new light in shed on them.

And this week, we’re here to shed a new light on the underdog of interactive experiences.

According to Content Marketing Institute’s recent research report, engagement is the number one reason for using interactive content and educating the audience is the second. So it’s no surprise that 79% of content marketers plan to increase their use of interactive content in the next year in order to create a more meaningful and useful relationship with their online visitors.

However, many marketers find it challenging to decide what type of experience to create when first diving into interactive content. While it depends entirely on what static content you have ready to repurpose and what level of the funnel you want to target, we’re seeing that interactive infographics have taken the top spot for the most popular type of interactive content, according to the CMI research report.

Want to know our thoughts on why interactive infographics are all the rage in 2017? Check out this episode of Ask Audrey, when ion’s Director of Customer Engagement explains exactly why these types of experiences can create engagement and educate your audience.

Recently, Content Marketing Institute released this year’s research report on interactive content (and if you’ve been following along with ion’s podcast, we’re sure you’ve heard a bit about it). One takeaway we were intrigued by was that the data showed that the longer a company uses interactive content in their marketing strategy, the more successful they’ll be.

You know that feeling when what you’ve been witnessing with your own eyes is affirmed in writing from actual research? Yep. We had that exact feeling when first seeing the data — mainly because we continue to experience this alongside our customers time and time again.

As marketers, we know that a lot of our initiatives take incredible perseverance, and interactive content marketing is no different. Interactive content needs to be just that: interactive. But not just for the user. As a creator of interactive content, it’s important to keep learning from your experiences, keep experimenting and testing, and see what resonates.

There has been one big factor in the success we’ve seen with our customers, and that’s that the customers that have seen such incredible success believed in interactive content as being a long term plan from day one. They knew what they needed to do to reach their end goal and didn’t stop persevering until they did.

While creating interactive content doesn’t have to be daunting, it should be a long term part of your marketing strategy. Listen in to this episode of Ask Audrey to hear how she’s seen that success with some of our customers and why the perseverance with interactivity has skyrocketed their results.

As marketers, we’re all looking to have deeper insight into our audience, leads and prospects. We can find out what pages they visited, what blog posts they read, what asset they downloaded, but that seemed to be all we could find out. Until interactive content.

“Interactive content really allows you to fill in the gray areas between when someone visits your site and when they ultimately convert or purchase your product.”

It’s not just about what your audience is doing with your content, but why they’re doing it. It’s about diving deeper into their needs, wants and pain points to serve up better and more meaningful content. So how does interactive content allow you to deliver better solutions to each and every visitor you want to reach?
