INBOUND MARKETING
What is Inbound Marketing?Instead of buying ad space (billboards,
magazines, newspapers, online ads, etc.),
buying email lists, or cold calling, inbound
marketing focuses on creating awesome content
that pulls people toward your website where
they can learn more about what you sell on their
own time.
72% of companies using inbound methods drastically grew their business in 2014.
Companies that used inbound marketing strategies 6-8x/month doubled their leads in
2014.
Proving ROI for Marketing Activities Is a Major Challenge for Marketers
Inbound Marketing Delivers on ROI, but Marketers Face Calculation Struggles
Why should inbound be considered?
Traditional Marketing Is Broken.
● Reputation only helps if people know you exist (or know what you do is something they need - advocacy)
● Networking events are filled with competitors, or even worse, non-clients or non-referrals
● Valuable face time with the prospect is more difficult than ever
● Requires dedication of a full time job
● Young or small businesses = more difficult

information, you need to offer something
up in return (ex: ebook, checklist, free
guides, white papers, etc).

visitors and converted the right
leads, you need to transform
those leads into customers with
targeted, automated email
