"Inbound Marketing is all about helping your potential buyers find your brand - these buyers are looking for answers to their questions, and solutions to their business problems - so they’re searching the Internet for those answers and solutions.
The Inbound Marketing Methodology is about setting up the process to attract prospects and turn them into buyers using relevant, engaging and targeted content."
Traditional outbound marketing used to focus on pushing 'non-targeted' content on people who may or may not be interested in the content. Think radio, TV, newspaper, magazine ads, and cold calling, as the traditional outbound methods of marketing.
B2B companies such as manufacturing and professional services firms have traditionally used outbound marketing for lead generation - using magazine advertising, trade shows, direct mail, and telemarketing - but now those methods are fast becoming obsolete marketing tactics, as they are hard to measure, they interrupt people, and they have a poor ROI ... basically, they no longer work. If you're not findable on the Internet - you're not in the game.
The marketing solution that really works best for B2B companies is called Inbound Marketing - using targeted content to attract prospects to your website, and convert those visitors into customers - following the Inbound process of Attract, Convert, Close and Engage.
Therefore to succeed with Inbound Marketing, your business MUST BE FOUND ONLINE.
To be found online you have to know what your prospects are searching for - and you have to provide them with the right content.
Inbound Marketing is all about becoming that source of compelling and helpful content, and a destination for quality information about the topics your prospects are looking for.
Inbound Marketing is a proven way to engage with your prospects and website visitors while being personal and helpful with their needs. Inbound Marketing works especially well for B2B companies, such as those in technology, and business-to-business professional services.
