How many times have you disconnected a pushy sales call before even listening to what the caller has to say? Unlike the interrupted, noisy style of outbound marketing, inbound marketing adds value to educate a customer before they are ready to buy and letting the customer come to you instead. In this way, by the time a prospective customer comes to you, he is already 60% ready to buy from you.
When done correctly, Inbound Marketing is a proven way for customer acquisition, conversion and satisfaction because our activities are aligned with the consumer as he moves through the sales funnel. Customers today educate themselves online before zeroing down on a service provider and inbound marketing works because it empowers them while positioning your brand as the authority.
Inbound marketing allows you to create the information your audience is looking for and deliver your sales message in the way your customers want to receive it. You become a companion and guide on their buyer’s journey rather than one more voice trying to sell a product.
