Hey Readers, I am Ishika Doshi from Techwebx.com, You might have many questions about inbound marketing. What is Inbound Marketing? Where is it used? Is it so important? How can I earn from Inbound Marketing? And many more.
So I have all answers to your questions in this blog.
Inbound Marketing is a technique of drawing customers to product and service via Content Marketing, Social Marketing, E-Mail Marketing, and SEO.
Through inbound marketing, I try to gain the trust of the customers via the Internet. I don’t directly sell the product or service, but I first connect with my viewers, make them have trust in me. And then I ask them to get the paid products of mine.
What happens when a viewer visits our website?
We offer them something so that they can subscribe to us. It can be a service, a book, a certificate, course anything. By this, we try to make a bond with the viewers. So that when we both connect, I can tell them about my services and advertise them about my products.
This can be a connection between us, and they can trust my product and service, just because they have first experienced it.
So, Basically giving or selling the information at the first stage is nothing but Inbound Marketing.
Just imagine a case, where I am visiting your home and telling you about a particular service which is beneficial for you and you should take it not only for you but maybe your family and your relatives to.
Will you trust me at that moment?
The answer will be no.
But if the same service, I explain to you on the internet, give you a knowledge about it and make sure that you can understand each and everything about the service, and then I ask you to purchase it.
Now, here the scenario might change, because you have a piece of quite good knowledge about me, my product, my service everything.
So there is the difference between Inbound Marketing and Outbound Marketing.
As per the above example, Inbound Marketing, take the permission of a customer. That should I tell you about the particular thing or not. And then the view was permitted by sharing the data so that we can avail them of the services.
Is Inbound Marketing so essential?
Let me explain this in detail:
The data says that 68% of people spend their time reading the content published by the brands they are interested in.
Which means content plays and vital role.
Next is 83% of buyers like to search the product on Google before they buy it.
Which makes it clear that SEO is essential.
Another data says that 77% of online customers prefer permission-based promotions via email.
So here, email marketing is essential.
50% of online customers like to spend their time in the custom content.
What does it mean?
It means that customers like to read the content of their interest. If they visit your website, then it is just because they are liking the content you are uploading.
And if you grab the attention of customers for more than 8 seconds, then you can say that the customers have trust in your website and company.
