2. Engage With Outgrow Interactive Content

Static content, no matter how appealing will not call out to customers the way interactive content will. Interactive content allows customers to become a part of the dialogue and adds value to them. It can be of various forms – calculators, outcome quizzes, chatbots, surveys, etc. This kind of content helps in generating leads because it offers relevant information to users. In fact, statistics show that interactive content leads to 2x the conversions of static content.
