Ask Is educational content more effective than promotional content?

[Meridian]

Educational content teaches people something useful, like how to solve a problem or understand a topic better, without directly pushing them to buy anything. Promotional content, on the other hand, focuses mainly on the product itself and why people should purchase it right away. Many customers feel tired of constant promotion and respond better when content teaches them something first. Educational content also builds long term trust that can lead to sales later. Which type of content works better, educational or promotional?
