What is an inbound marketing strategy?

Easy, helping possible clients to find any business organically. With this, the brand awareness is growing, creating a link with the customers even before they proceed to make a purchase. Building relationships and presenting quality content is the core of this marketing, using techniques such as content marketing, blogs, events, search engine optimization (SEO), social media, and more. 

With the new millennia, people have changed how to purchase products and services, and they don’t like to be constantly reminded to buy things. That is why inbound marketing has worked so well, presenting a different content that catches the attention and goes beyond the product itself. This relationship is merely organic, which means that everything is done thinking about how the possible clients will think instead of how many they will want to buy. 

Inbound marketing is all about creating leads for a lesser cost than traditional marketing. You give the potential clients the possibility to be close to the brand, from knowing the process to even have a direct channel to listen to their suggestions and complaints. This is called an empowered buyer, one that will have access to all the necessary information to make a smart purchase. 

«Inbound marketing is so powerful because you have the power to give the searcher/consumer exactly what answers they are looking for at the precise point that they need it. That builds trust, reputation, and authority in whatever niche you are practicing this form of marketing in.»

Joshua Gill, Inbound and SEO Marketing Consultant, Inbound Authority

Tips for creating an inbound marketing strategy

Nowadays, any strategy needs more brain, heart, and effort than just giving a high budget to it. Don’t despair. After several attempts, you will find the right way and present killer content for a magnificent strategy. Check out these steps to make one:

• Define goals and buyer personas: any strategy must have defined goals, but for this is very important to know the target audience. It’s impossible to write content without knowing what they want and enjoy. 
• Content at every stage: inbound marketing is all about catching the attention of possible buyers before making a purchase, but any good strategy is set to continue offering good content even after the purchase. Remember having a close relationship with the clients is the major goal of this marketing, but this is now called transformational inbound marketing. The strategy must be adapted to any change and to any customer. 
• Choose the platforms: how to reach the clients? This is an important question for any strategy. For that reason choosing the right communication platform is key in any strategy. From social media to blogs or websites, having a great channel to directly communicate with clients and possible customers is what makes the difference. 
• A Content Calendar: organization is another key point in any strategy of inbound. The best way to have an incredible organization is with a content calendar. Each form of content is displayed, and the entire team has a schedule at hand. This also works to pinpoint mistakes and problems that need a solution, whether in a short or a long reach. 
• Analyze results to optimize: a strategy without analyzing its results is a waste strategy. After a period of time, the strategy must start to show results that the team must interpret to check its stronger and weakest points. This will help to change and optimize details. The lowest points use any metric that the group considers important and start to present those results.

Inbound marketing has changed since its appearance in 2006. Still, it now is the strongest way of marketing and will continue to show results and powerful movements worldwide. After all, this is being used to sell or increase the power of a business and give a voice to social activities that can change history and society.
