If you run a business, then you’ve likely been hearing about content marketing for a while now. And if you’ve tried implementing this vague thing called content marketing over the last few years, you’re not in rare company if you haven’t really figured out how content marketing actually contributes to your business growth.

As marketers, it's our job to create messages that resonate with a wide range of people. However, many businesses fail when it comes to creating content that caters to the vision and hearing impaired communities. It's estimated that 25.5 million adult Americans are visually impaired. And according to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), about 28.8 million adult Americans are hearing impaired. Combine that with a large aging population and a growing rate of health conditions, and you have a very large percentage of the population that may not be receiving the marketing messages you're putting out.

Digital marketing moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and evaluate performance once in awhile, you could be missing out on sales. Marketing is an industry built around best practices. When a strategy works for one business, others jump onboard and attempt to duplicate that success. Because of that monkey see, monkey do mentality, some "best practices" have invaded marketer's brains, never to be reevaluated. That's a problem because we should never rely on the status quo. Marketing practices should be analyzed early and often.
