What is Inbound Marketing?

Inbound Marketing is based on the premise of making it easy for your target audience to find you. It is about attracting more people to your business with quality content, using premium content to convert them to leads, and implementing marketing automation to nurture leads until they’re ready to make a booking.

The Sales Funnel

There are four main principles to inbound marketing which we often view as a sales funnel. Understanding how each stage fits together helps focus your campaign where it needs the most help.

1. Driving traffic to your website SEO, PPC, Blog, Social, Content Management

2. Turning that traffic into leadsPremium gated content, Calls-to-action, Usability, Landing pages

3. Converting those leads into customersEmail, Lead automation, Personalised experiences

4. Keeping those customers happyAdvanced reporting, Personalised communications

Services

Dot Tourism provide six key services as part of our goal driven marketing:

Marketing Has Changed

The way customers engage and buy has changed. Technology is making interruptive marketing less effective.

Every activity that we do (as a team, Dot Tourism and your own in-house marketing department) is measured.

For example, we will know for every action and campaign how many visits, contacts and enquiries and bookings each generates.

This allows us to monitor and refine our strategy to make best use of resources. It ensures that all marketing we do has a purpose and no time is wasted on ineffective strategy.

We promoted high-end Indian homestay accommodation for Mahindra Homestays. With a poorly performing website, little visibility in search engines and no social media presence we transformed their marketing.

We developed a blog attracting over 15,000 organic visitors a month, created a social media community with an engaged following of over 50,000 on Facebook and Twitter and improved their website which saw an increase of organic traffic of 259% over a 12 month period.

Overall we increased bookings by 350%
