Most consumers (74%) say they generally trust educational material from a business as long as it seems objective and doesn't explicitly try to sell a product/service, according to a recent report from Kentico.
However, trust is extremely fragile: Even just adding a product pitch to the end of an otherwise objective blog post or newsletter brings the credibility level down significantly, with only 45% of consumers saying they trust such content....
What else reduces trust of content by consumers? The report says:
"Other factors that make consumers skeptical about content from marketers include referencing things that can't be verified with other sources (46% say this prevents them from trusting information), leaving out/not addressing different perspectives (17%), and presenting information in way that hides it is coming from a company (15%)."
