Traditional marketing and advertising is telling the world you’re a rock star. The NEW way of marketing is SHOWING the world that you are one. One of the best ways to do that is through inbound marketing. Inbound marketing refers to marketing activities that bring visitors in, rather than marketers having to go out to get prospects’ attention.
With 60 to 90% of product and service research done before a customer purchases, it’s your job to establish your small business as the expert. This can be done though blogs, podcasts, video, eBooks, newsletters, whitepapers, SEO, physical products, social media marketing, and other forms of content marketing which serve to attract customers.
The best thing about inbound marketing is that it is 61% less expensive then outbound marketing and generates 54% more leads. So what does your inbound marketing plan look like?
