The scenario of economic crisis and decline in investment is not something new for anyone. In the Marketing sector, budget cuts are often made quickly and without careful analysis. When there is no other alternative, businesses opt for solutions that bring sales results, with the least possible investment. Many companies find Inbound Marketing the best answer to overcome this moment of adversity, since the cost of a lead in Inbound is 50% less compared to more traditional strategies.
Inbound Marketing is a set of marketing strategies aimed at attracting potential customers on a voluntary basis. It is an innovative strategy that breaks with old marketing concepts and fosters a new vision of work, which is based on attracting people’s attention and making your potential customers find and search for your services or products.
Inbound Marketing strategy combines content creation with marketing automation. Its methodology is based on four actions:
- Attract traffic from visitors;
- Convert visitors into leads;
- Turn leads into clients;
- Offer the best experience to your customers in order to make them loyal and brand promoters.
In this article we will share 12 tips to implement an Inbound Marketing strategy in your company.
- Set goals for attraction, lead generation (MQL and SQL) and customers early on.
- Divide the potential clients according to their profiles of interest (for sales). Ever heard of personas?
- Create the persona’s relationship journey with the brand, from the “Awareness” journey to the purchase decision. Knowing the purchase cycle is fundamental!
