How to Use Customer Insights for High-Converting Content

A Story About Gluten-Free Cakes That Won Over the Crowd

Imagine you own a small bakery, and you notice an increasing number of customers searching for gluten-free options. You’ve got a few gluten-free items on the menu, but they’re not the focus of your business—until now. You start listening more closely to your customers and realise just how many of them are looking for these alternatives. That’s when you decide to make gluten-free cakes with the same love and care as your classics, offering a taste that wins over both gluten-free and non-gluten-free customers alike.

This success didn’t happen by chance—it was the result of paying attention to customer insights. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can use the same approach to build a high-converting content strategy that speaks directly to your audience’s needs.

1. Getting to Know Your Customers: More Than Just Numbers

Let’s imagine you run a small local bakery. You’ve got loyal customers, but you want to attract new ones too. You might start by looking at the data: who visits your website, what they’re searching for, and which products they’re most interested in. But real customer insights go beyond numbers.

It’s not just about knowing that your best-sellers are croissants—it’s about understanding why. Are they popular because they’re made fresh daily? Or because they remind customers of their favourite childhood treats? These are the kinds of insights that help you build a story your audience can connect with, creating personalised content that resonates.

2. Segmenting Your Audience: Speak to Them, Not at Them

Once you gather your customer insights, it’s important to remember that not every customer is the same. Some are first-timers, just getting to know you, while others are loyal repeat customers. The way you communicate with each group should reflect that.

For example, your regulars might appreciate emails with special offers, while new customers need a warm introduction to what makes your bakery unique. By segmenting your audience, you can deliver targeted content that speaks directly to each group, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. This kind of audience segmentation is key to crafting high-converting content.

3. Creating Tailored Content: Solve Their Problems, Fulfil Their Desires

With insights and segments in hand, it’s time to create content that truly speaks to your audience. Whether it’s blog posts, social media updates, or email campaigns, make sure each piece of content is relevant and tailored to their needs.

For instance, if a customer visits your website searching for gluten-free options, offer them more than just a list of products. Instead, tell a story: "We’ve created our gluten-free cakes with the same love and care as our classics because we believe everyone should enjoy a slice of happiness." This approach personalises the experience, increasing the likelihood of conversion.

4. Optimising for Conversions: Small Changes, Big Impact

When building content around customer insights, your goal should be not just engagement, but conversion. Strong calls-to-action (CTAs) are critical for turning engaged readers into customers.

For instance, that same gluten-free customer might be more likely to make a purchase if your CTA is tailored to their needs: "Try our gluten-free range today and get 10% off your first order." It’s a simple change, but one that speaks directly to their concerns and encourages action.

Don’t forget to experiment with A/B testing to see which CTAs, headlines, or even images lead to the highest conversion rates. This will help you refine your strategy and focus on what works best.

5. Continually Listening and Refining: The Customer Journey Never Stops

Building a high-converting content strategy isn’t a one-time effort. It’s an ongoing process of listening, learning, and adjusting. Track how different types of content perform and keep refining your approach based on what works.

Use tools like Google Analytics or Hotjar to monitor customer behaviour on your site. Are blog posts getting the engagement you expected? Are users clicking through your CTAs? The more you learn, the better you can adapt your content to meet the ever-evolving needs of your audience.
