Interactive Content Is True King

A few years ago it was said that the future is in interactive storytelling, well they couldn’t have been more right. Still many entrepreneurs and marketers have yet to understand what it really takes to operate a successful business. Many individuals heard and applied the popular marketing concept called Content Is King to their overall marketing strategy. Although this may be true, nowadays an individual should consider how interactive content is the true king. Not only do you have to make your web content relatable to your audience, but you have to get your potential buyers emotionally involved enough to change their buying behavior. By creating beautiful interactive content, you generate an opportunity for them to have meaningful interaction with your content.

Ten Types of Interactive Content

#1 180 or 360 Degree Video

This interactive feature is a must-have if you really want to give your customer an unforgettable experience. As the public has yet to fully adapt, upgrading your brand’s video portfolio to augmented or virtual reality formats will increase your competitive edge, thus, benefiting your brand overall. You will be able to showcase your business in an exciting new dimension with 180 or 360-degree interactive experiences. For instance, take a look at how the BBC positively alters its viewer’s experience with 360 format videos on YouTube.
