Acquiring and engaging a receptive audience:

As well as providing such information via internal links on your home page it would also be wise to establish a weekly newsletter and/or blog. These regular publications will encourage existing customers and visitors new to your site to subscribe thanks to the lively and relevant information you continue to provide. It will also leave them hungry for more.
Shared content increases brand profile:
The intention of all content produced is that you will want to share it with as many existing and prospective customers as possible. The quality and interest of such content is obviously key to keeping these visitors engaged, but there is also a self-perpetuating value to consistently producing content that stands out.
The reason such stand-out content will have extremely positive brand-awareness benefits is that those who are captivated by it will be keen to acknowledge this. They will do so through the use of a variety of social media channels that will inform their friends, associates and colleagues of such content and point them to your web presence.
