Only 5% of Your Audience is Ready to Buy Today

Right now, someone is building a mental shortlist of brands they'll choose from in 6 months.
Are you on it?
Here's what a decade in content marketing has taught me:
Your future customers are choosing right now.
Not about buying - about remembering.
And content marketing isn't just about what you post today - it's about building the memory that converts tomorrow's buyers.
Think about your last big purchase:
You followed certain brands for months before buying
Their content kept them in your mind
You chose from the brands that stayed memorable
This is where most content strategies fail:
They chase engagement today (likes, comments, shares) while failing to build the memory that converts the 95% who'll need them tomorrow.
It's an expensive content mistake.
Because when that 95% finally needs what you offer, they won't start researching from scratch.
They'll return to the brands whose content has been building trust and memory all along.
How to Fix Your Content Strategy:
Stop creating forgettable content
Random posts that chase trends
Promotional content that gets ignored
Misaligned content that attracts the wrong audience
Start building memory through content
Strategic storytelling that connects
Valuable insights worth returning to
Content that makes you the obvious choice
Create content for future conversion
Build trust before they need you
Stay memorable through consistent value
Become their natural choice when ready
Remember:
Content marketing isn't just about today's engagement - it's about tomorrow's customers.
Want to build content that makes you unforgettable?
Let's have a chat:
Because tomorrow's customers are choosing their brands today.
