By transforming inbound marketing assets into experiences rather than static pieces of content, marketers are reaping the benefits of higher conversions rates, better scored leads, and greater ROI. Because it puts the user in a position to actively learn and engage with the material, that person will have a deeper, more intrinsic educational experience – making the content stick better, too. By using multiple interactive content formats, marketers are able to create more touchpoints that offer better customer insights for the sales team. Before thinking of creating all new content from scratch, often repurposing existing static content is the best approach for both bandwidth and getting the most out what you already have. Diversify the Content Once you’ve identified how and what content will be part of your interactive content integration, you’ll need to consider how you’ll keep the material diverse and interesting for the user.

You’re probably already familiar with inbound marketing methodology, as it’s become a popular marketing approach over the past 10 years.
Essentially, inbound marketing means that by creating content that pivots around your customer’s interests while providing them insight and value, you naturally attract web traffic that you can then convert, close, and build long-term relationships with over time.
This modern approach is highly effective and increasingly popular. As a result, some of the more traditional marketing mediums and content formats (that don’t resonate with customers) are beginning to fall by the wayside.

Why It Works


Interactive content works so well because it hacks the audience’s attention using classical learning and psychological triggers. It produces results, too: Interactive content can drive conversions by as much as 45%.
So what are some of the psychological aspects that interactive content puts to use? One is Piaget’s Active Learning Theory, which explains that experience-based learning with active participation is a more powerful form of education.
