Inbound MarketingThe Proven Methodology for the Digital Age
Inbound marketing focuses on creating quality content that pulls people toward your company and product. By aligning the content you publish with your customer’s interests, you naturally attract inbound traffic that you can then convert, close, and delight over time.
#KnoxHUG
Inbound marketing engages instead of interrupts your leads and prospects.
Outbound marketing casts a wide net in the hope of catching a few customers from a sea of loosely targeted consumers.
Inbound vs. Outbound
#KnoxHUG
The Inbound Marketing MethodologyAttract strangers through blogging,
social media, and strategic website content.
#KnoxHUG
ATTRACT STAGE
Blogging Blogging is the cornerstone to a stellar inbound marketing campaign.
It’s the single best way to attract new visitors to your website.
#KnoxHUG
ATTRACT STAGE
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Customers begin their buying process online, usually through a search
engine. Ongoing website optimization makes your brand appear prominently when and where they search.
#KnoxHUG
ATTRACT STAGE
Pages Your website is your digital storefront, and first impressions go a long way. In terms of both design and content, the pages of your website should be crafted to appeal to your ideal buyers.
#KnoxHUG
ATTRACT STAGE
Social Media Share your valuable content on social media platforms, engage
with your prospects, and put a human face on your brand. Interact where your buyers spend their time.
#KnoxHUG
Convert Stage
Getting the right traffic is a great accomplishment, but it isn’t enough. Now you need to convert visitors into leads.
#KnoxHUG
CONVERT STAGE
FormsIn order for visitors to become leads, they must fill out a
form and give you information about themselves.
#KnoxHUG
CONVERT STAGE
Tip 1: Word Choice Matters
Avoid using the words “submit,” “download,” or “register” when you want someone to submit a form.
“Click Here” and “Go” perform better for forms (30% and 25% conversion rates respectively).
#KnoxHUG
CONVERT STAGE
Tip 2: Form Length Matters
The shorter the form, the higher your conversion rate will be.
3 fields = 25% average conversion rate3-5 fields = 20% average conversion rate6+ fields = 15% average conversion rate
Note: Fields requiring a drop-down selection fare worst of all.
#KnoxHUG
CONVERT STAGE
Tip 3: Field Choices Matter
Asking for phone number: 5% reduction
Asking for address: 4% reduction
Asking for age: 3% reduction
Asking for city and state: 2% reduction
#KnoxHUG
CONVERT STAGE
Calls-to-Action (CTAs)
CTAs are graphics or links that encourage website visitors to take a desired action.
Effective CTAs are one of the most critical parts of inbound marketing.
#KnoxHUG
#1 Visually Striking: with copy that compels the visitor to click
#2 Brief: a couple of words works best (fewer than 5 is ideal)
#3 Action-oriented: begin with a verb like “get,” “download,” or “claim”
CONVERT STAGE
CTA Best Practices
#KnoxHUG
#4 Location: place the CTA in a spot that’s easy to find (above “the fold” if applicable)
#5 Contrasting Color: make CTAs stand out from the rest of your website by using a color that does not blend in to the rest of the site design
CONVERT STAGE
CTA Best Practices
#KnoxHUG
#6 Size: large enough to see from a distance, but not so large that they detract from page content
#7 Clarity: be sure to state exactly what the visitor will get when they click the CTA
CONVERT STAGE
CTA Best Practices
#KnoxHUG
CONVERT STAGE
Landing PagesA landing page is where the offer you make in the CTA is fulfilled. It’s also where the prospect submits information that your sales
team uses to begin a conversation with them.
#KnoxHUG
• Add a clear, action-oriented header that matches the CTA offer
• Use bold text, numbers, and bullets to emphasize keywords and highlight the value to the visitor
• Keep the copy brief–no longer than 1-5 sentences
CONVERT STAGE
Tips for Landing Pages
#KnoxHUG
• Include an image relevant to the offer
• Limit distractions by removing navigation and other links that may divert the user from submitting
• Benchmark: aim for at least a 5%-15% submission rate on landing pages
CONVERT STAGE
Tips for Landing Pages
#KnoxHUG
Keep track of the leads you’re converting in a centralized marketing database.
CONVERT STAGE
Contacts
#KnoxHUG
Once you have attracted the right visitors and converted the right leads, transform those leads into customers!
Close Stage
#KnoxHUG
CRM systems facilitate sales by making sure you have the right information handy to easily engage with
your prospects across every channel.
CLOSE STAGE
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
#KnoxHUG
Reporting integrated with your CRM system allows you to analyze just how well your marketing
and sales teams are working together.
CLOSE STAGE
Closed-loop Reporting
#KnoxHUG
A series of emails focused on useful, relevant content can build trust with a prospect and help them
become more ready to purchase from you.
CLOSE STAGE
Email Marketing
#KnoxHUG
CLOSE STAGE
Email Marketing Tips#1. Avoid sending the same email to all your prospects. By segmenting your email marketing, messages are customized to the interests of your prospects.
#2. Continually test subject lines, body copy, and CTAs to improve open and click rates.
#KnoxHUG
Work smarter instead of harder by automating certain marketing actions based on visitor behavior. For example, if a
visitor downloads a whitepaper, craft a series of related emails to nurture the prospect down the sales funnel.
CLOSE STAGE
Marketing Automation
#KnoxHUG
Inbound marketing allows companies to continue to engage with, delight, and (hopefully) upsell their current customer base, creating happy promoters of the brands they love.
Delight Stage
#KnoxHUG
DELIGHT STAGE
Social Media MonitoringListen to your customers’ questions, comments, likes,
and dislikes, and reach out to them with relevant content.
