Inbound Marketing – Magnetise Yourself

July 22nd, 2010 by Click Consult

As the effects of economic hardship begin to take their toll and internet marketing starts to suffer a downturn, businesses are once again looking for efficiency savings. Although tried and trusted methods still have their place in any advertising campaign, marketing budgets are steering toward the more economical, and increasingly effective opportunities offered by search engine optimisation and social media. Now is the time when internet advertising is concentrating less on finding the customer and more on making sure the customer can find you.

Traditional (outbound) marketing broadcasts a message to unspecific audiences that can be poorly targeted. Advertising in print or by television, cold calling and junk mail are increasingly viewed as invasive methods and the message is often ignored or, even worse, resented. Additionally, technology is reducing the effectiveness, and thereby increasing the cost of these marketing methods by providing the consumer with the means to block them.

Inbound marketing shifts the focus from what the advertiser wants the customer to hear, to helping the customer find the advertiser that fulfils their needs. Instead of being subjected to invasive marketing messages, consumers are offered relevant content and the means to enjoy it when they choose. Rather than buying advertising time that interrupts the customer’s viewing, advertisers create videos that are sought out by customers and websites and blogs that they want to read.

At web optimisation agency Click Consult, we help attract relevant customers to the information using both inbound and outbound methods of internet marketing.
