What is Interactive Content?

Interactive content is any type of content that requires the audience to actively paticipate. This includes quizzes, polls, surveys, interactive videos, and so more.

But bother with Interactive Content? It has lots of benefits, including:

• Increased engagement: It requires active participation, keeping the audience engaged and focused on the message.

• Better information retention: Active participation helps the audience retain information better than passive consumption.

• Enhanced brand awareness: Interactive content can help increase brand awareness by creating a memorable experience for the audience. If your content is good, people will share and talk about it. Hopefully causing some virality.

• Improved lead generation: Interactive content can be used to collect information from the audience, improving lead generation efforts. I wouldn’t suggest gating the content, but a soft ask at the end for the participant to signup to get more content, isn’t to abrasive.

Examples of Interactive Content

Let’s explore some examples of interactive content:

Quizzes

Quizzes are a great way to engage the audience and test their knowledge. They can be used to create a fun experience while educating the audience on a particular topic. When you create one, think fun. Think outside of the box and how you can make the topic you want engagement different and novel.

Polls

Polls are a quick and easy way to gather feedback from the audience. They can be used to gauge opinions or preferences on a particular topic. Most social media platforms have polling functionality. It’s a quick way to gather insights from your connections and share the results easily.

Interactive Videos

Interactive videos allow the audience to make choices or interact with the content as it plays. This creates an engaging experience that keeps the audience invested in the message.

Best Practices for Creating Interactive Content

When creating interactive content, there are a few best practices to keep in mind:

Keep it Simple

Interactive content should be easy to participate in and understand. Avoid making it too complicated, which can discourage participation. Nothing’s worse than getting all excited to engage, only to hit a brick wall and be confused. This could create a negative sentiment and buzz.

Make it Relevant

The interactive content should be relevant to the audience and the message being conveyed.

Add Value

Interactive content should add value to the audience. It should educate, entertain, or provide a solution to a problem.

Interactive content is a powerful tool for engaging our audience and delivering our message effectively. By incorporating interactive content into our marketing strategy, we can enhance brand awareness, improve lead generation efforts, and create a memorable experience for our audience.
