People these days ignore banner ads.

Click-through rates have dropped drastically, and online businesses have been looking for new methods to grab your attention. The problem is that the Internet has changed how people discover and shop for things. People do research on Google, find out what their friends think on Facebook, and browse possibilities on Pinterest.

So, how does a business get attention these days? Many are turning to content marketing—with great results to show-in a crowded online advertising world.

Exceedingly cost-effective
