Customers now more than ever are living their lives online and have access to unlimited information and distractions. However, as these customers scroll helplessly through their social media accounts day in, day out they will rarely find news that moves them. Quite often, they will scroll continuously through the “noise” of updates from long lost friends posting a picture of their baby or of their latest meal in the hope of finding an article that is not click bait or a post of importance to them.
What makes a post important to someone?
Customers are moved mostly by information that impacts on their world. Be that their political beliefs, their moral beliefs, something that affects a group to which they belong or something that affects their local area.
