Inbound Marketing Solutions

Inbound Marketing: (n) a marketing strategy that focuses on getting found by customers.

In a perfect world, customers would flock to our door and buy our products straight off our shelves and we would never spend a dime on marketing our products/services to the masses. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way...

The traditional marketing methods, or push marketing, are somewhat invasive. (They are referred to as interruptive strategies in most circles.) We interrupt peoples TV shows, call them at home while they eat dinner and fill their (e)mail boxes with pleas to buy from us. Any more, they are getting smarter than we are and blocking us. Conveniences like the DVR, caller ID and SPAM filters are making it more and more difficult to reach the world with our message. Time for a new strategy.

This change is why inbound marketing is the supreme online marketing tool of the 21st century. Why? Because it puts the customer in the driver seat! They make the decision to do business with you on their terms. Sounds counterproductive doesn't it? I mean, aren't we supposed to tell them how, where, when and what to buy? Not anymore.

Marketing had to evolve with the advancements in technology. Consumers were put in control of when and how they wanted to be marketed to. And inbound marketing give our clients and potential customers exactly what they want: the ability to give us permission to market to them. Many traditional marketers are upset with this trend, but we are embracing it.

There are two main reasons why we welcome the change inbound marketing brings:

Higher quality leads. Yes, inbound marketing is better than traditional marketing because the leads are better qualified. There are few tire kickers because the new marketing strategy focuses on education instead of excitement. People want to buy because they are ready, not because they want to play 20 questions with you and waste your time.

Secondly, it's cheaper. Yes, we said cheaper!!! Most leads acquired by inbound marketing are 62% cheaper than those acquired by more traditional means. This savings is due to the higher quality leads we mentioned above. There is less time tied up with uncommitted buys and less cost in marketing material that just ends up in the trash.

To recap: In most cases, inbound marketing delivers higher quality and cheaper leads than traditional marketing strategies.
