Alaska Isn't That Cold: Busting Myths via Content

Just how important is good content in online marketing?

It can actually help you defeat preconceived notions. Imagine that you're running a travel agency in Alaska. You notice an increasing number of people flocking to warmer states due to the relentless snowstorm pounding the northeast. Florida and California easily pass as the destination of choice, but Alaska isn't so lucky. Down to its name, the Final Frontier carries the impression of having arctic weather year-round.

The last thing freezing Americans want right now is more snow. Your goal is to attract as many visitors as possible to the state. You have to convince them that it's not always cold in Alaska, especially in the Panhandle. In fact, despite its position, Anchorage is warmer than Chicago and Minneapolis most of the year, thanks to the warm air from nearby Pacific.

Not everyone may believe it right away; the cold myth has been with Alaska since time immemorial. Nevertheless, those in affected industries must debunk any misconceptions people have to avoid losing prospects. Unique, useful content, with compliance to search guidelines, is one of the best ways to address these misgivings.

Whether you back it up with official statistics or post a selfie of you sunbathing in Anchorage, people can be convinced with enough proof through excellent content marketing.
