“Outbound Marketing” – the older and less-effective way

Most businesses today still have the old “Outbound Marketing” strategy that disrupts or imposes on people in order to get a marketing message across…

It uses tools such as telemarketing, unsolicited (opt-out) emails, unsolicited postal mail and adverts in printed media. It’s all about pushing your wares in-front of the consumer even when they’re not interested. As we know, we’ve all found ways to ignore the disruption or used tools to block or dispose of it such as CallerID, spam filters, email cleaning filters, and the trusty rubbish bin. Marketers have really shot themselves in the foot by over-disrupting people and are now considered an annoyance to be ignored.

Trust is getting more important for building business, and this usually relies on effective relationship-building. “Inbound marketing” is about building a relationship with your consumers and prospects with the intention of establishing open and transparent communication. The key thing here is that you as a business actually listen, tune into customers where they’re at, and respond.

People are now expecting more transparent and mutual ‘partnering’ relationships with businesses. Inbound Marketing helps in forming that relationship such as blogs, forums, chat, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Once you establish relationships with growing trust, you build a platform for acquiring customers and ongoing sales. But how can you go about it…?
