Growth Marketing Agency Services for Marketing Sales and Customer Service and Inbound Marketing

If you're not familiar with inbound marketing, it's a combination of persona-focused marketing and content that educates the reader and attracts visitors to your website. Instead of centering strictly on what the business wants to communicate to the customer, inbound marketing starts with considering what the customer needs and wants to know through their journey of awareness, consideration, and decision phases (i.e. the buyer's process or customer journey).

Inbound marketing relies on three pillars:

  1. Attracting the customer with relevant, high-quality content.

  2. Engaging them with thoughtful, personalized, and (again!) relevant contact.

  3. Delighting them through successful interactions, continued personalized touchpoints, and meaningful messaging.

Why is inbound marketing so important? For one thing, it's quickly becoming an expected practice for B2C and even B2B customers. More importantly, it provides the personal attention and targeted communication that customers of all types want.


Inbound Marketing vs. Traditional Outbound Marketing

“Inbound marketing” was coined in 2005 by HubSpot CEO Brian Halligan. Of course, the seeds of customer-focused marketing have been around for a very long time. But until the Age of the Internet, when it became common for customers to use the web to search for information, it simply wasn't feasible to provide that level of targeted content. Inbound marketing relies heavily on online content (including social media reach, email touchpoints, blog posts, etc.) that the customer seeks out or initiates.

Traditional or outbound marketing, on the other hand, includes things like ads (TV, print, radio, online, etc.), trade shows, catalogs, etc. While outbound marketing still generates results, it's less suited to our increasingly digital (and increasingly more personalized) world. It's also generally a lot more expensive than inbound.

 

Businesses that insist on sticking exclusively to the old playbook will find it more difficult to attract and retain new customers. When you're considering an agency to work with, insist on a Growth Services Agency that supports your marketing, sales, and customer services.
