Inbound Marketing 101
What is it and how it can
help your company increase
traffic, leads and customers
Definition
Inbound Marketing is a holistic, data-
driven approach to marketing that
attracts individuals to your brand and
converts them into lasting customers.
Whether you’re ready or not,
marketing has already been
disrupted.
People’s behaviors have changed.
They’re tuning out traditional
marketing tactics.
The old marketing playbook is BROKEN

Call list
In order to attract customers, marketers
have to provide something they will love.
The 4 Stages of Inbound Marketing
The Attract Stage
Inbound is all about focusing on the
exact type of buyer you want and
what they need.
Attract turns strangers into visitors
with relevant content right when they
need it.
The Convert Stage
After they come to your
website, convert visitors into
leads with an offer that is
valuable to them.
Emails are the most coveted
information for an inbound
marketer, so be sure to capture
them with a form
The Close Stage
Once you have that email, stay in
contact with leads through email and
workflows.
Nurturing that relationship will turn
leads into customers.
The Delight Stage
Even after your customer has
bought a product of service from
you, keep providing valuable
content.
This can lead to upselling and turn
customers into promoters, who will
bring in more leads to start the
cycle again!
What Makes Inbound Different?
It works by creating an experience people are looking for, rather than
interrupting one.
• Traditional
• Cold Calling
• Cold Emails (SPAM)
• Interruptive Ads
• Marketer-centric
• Inbound
• SEO
• Blogging
• Attraction
• Customer-centric
Inbound marketing is all
about content. It allows you
to bring strangers into your
site with various forms of
content, like blogs, photos,
infographics, videos,
podcasts, presentations,
eBooks, etc.
Now that’s marketing people can love.
Inbound marketing is also all about
context.
By publishing the right content in
the right place, at the right time, your
marketing becomes relevant and
helpful to your customers…not
interruptive.
Multi-Channel Marketing
Inbound marketing is multi-
channel marketing.
It accounts for where people
are, and how they want to
interact with you.
Some Examples Include:
• Keyword search
• Blog
• Calls-to-action
• Website & Landing pages
• Email
• Marketing Automation
• Social Media
The Inbound Funnel
Get Traffic Create blog content, search engine optimize (SEO) your
content, and promote it on social media sites.
Get Leads Place calls-to-action throughout your website to drive visitors
to landing pages with forms. Visitors fill out the forms to get
whatever you’re offering and become leads.
Get Customers Send your leads automated emails to drive them along your
buying cycle. Provide your sales team with lead intelligence so
they can make more effective sales calls.
Analyze Analyze the success of your marketing campaigns, and
determine which areas need further optimizations for future
success.
