What Is Your Customer Journey?

According to Demand Metric, almost 90% of participants in a recent study indicated it’s important to influence buyers earlier in their journey.

As a marketing person for 35+ years I get it that buyers don’t want to be interrupted, stalked or told what to do. These steps don’t answer buyer’s questions or address their areas of interest.

Inbound Marketing – Cost Effective Venture Strategy To Boost Sales

INBOUND MARKETING – NEW SOLUTION TO OLD PROBLEM

Inbound marketing has become one of the most used buzzwords in the marketing world today. Although the marketing playbook has certainly changed a lot in the last ten years with the internet revolution, the online marketing battle has escalated to generate high-quality leads and gain customers, contrary to popular belief, the term inbound marketing might be much older than we presume.

It is a widely accepted fact that the creator of HubSpot, Brian Halligan, coined the term inbound marketing but some marketing experts like Peter F. Drucker claim that the concept itself emerged in the 1950s and 60s when the rapidly growing awareness of just how important market research and identifying (and quantifying) customer interests were becoming apparent. In the 1960s, major US companies, like General Electric, recognized just how valuable customer opinions and preferences are in all stages of product development.

Responsive Website Design And Development For A Mobile World

Your website is the foundation that implements your company’s marketing plan.

It serves as the place where your brand story and experience are expressed. It is also the point of interaction between your messaging and content marketing efforts.

That means engagement not only for marketing to gain qualified leads, but also for advocacy supporting your sales, orders and distribution of products. Finally, it must also service the needs of your team and target audience.

Inbound Marketing can be your new secret weapon. Traditional marketing is more interruptive and can include cold calling with calling scripts and boilerplate marketing documents with set stock answers, and offers.
