HOW TO AMPLIFY YOUR IMPACT
(Introducing the Inbound Marketing Multiplier)
INBOUND MARKETING
is a powerful tactic, but
bottom-line results don’t come
from inbound marketing alone.
BuyeRs aRe
changing.
They’re in control of educating
              themselves on their problems
              and potential solutions—and
              they want to keep it that way.


SUNDAY NEWS
INBOUND MARKETING is the process of helping potential
customers find your company—often before they are even looking
to make a purchase—and then turning that early awareness into
brand preference and, ultimately, into leads and revenue.
It’s about creating INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE, AND
EVEN ENTERTAINING CONTENT optimized and distributed
across online channels so it can be found by—and
hopefully engage—prospective buyers.
HERE ARE SOME TACTICS FOR
 INBOUND MARKETING SUCCESS:

THERE ARE A LOT OF
benefits of inbound
 maRketing, like…
Increased brand awareness. 93% of buying cycles start with
a search online, so if your company shows up high in the
search results, you’ll get “free” brand awareness.

88% of clicks come from organic search. The remaining
12% of clicks go to paid keywords (pay per click).

IncReased bRand
    pRefeRence
MANY BUYERS CORRELATE HIGH ORGANIC SEARCH
RANKINGS WITH TRUST AND BRAND LEADERSHIP.
PEOPLE ARE ALSO MORE LIKELY TO TRUST
 AND BUY FROM A COMPANY THEY HAVE
  A RELATIONSHIP WITH. WHEN PEOPLE
     ENGAGE WITH YOUR CONTENT,
            THEY FEEL LIKE
  they have a
 Relationship.
MORE LEADS FOR LESS BUDGET: Great content pays
dividends for a very long time, an effect that multiplies as
you create more and more content.
MOSTLY WHAT WE LOVE IS THAT IT’S ABOUT APPLYING
           MORE BRAINS,
        NOT MORE BUDGET.
BUT IT’S NOT A MAGIC BULLET,
AND YOU CAN GO WRONG WHEN:

                 Your aim is too wide
                 Prospects don’t know you exist
                 Prospects don’t understand
                 what you do
                 You aren’t reaching the
                 decision makers
                 You can’t break through your
                 competition's noise
                 There isn’t any noise because
                 you’re in the wrong channel
IT’S HARD TO TARGET SPECIFIC AUDIENCES
       WITH INBOUND MARKETING.

                   Inbound marketing is like an
                   air war. Carpet-bombing is
                   efficient, but makes it hard to
                   hit specific targets.

                   So what you need are ground
                   war tactics (think marines
                   and snipers) to target specific
                   objectives and hold territory.
INBOUND MARKETING DOESN’T DRIVE PEOPLE TO ACTION.

You wait for buyers to take
action when they feel ready.
But sometimes you need
someone to act.

Pragmatists and late adopters
who don’t actively seek out
alternatives and new solutions
may need a push, not a pull,
to take action.
So what
can you do?
COMBINE OUTBOUND AND INBOUND.
There are three essential ingredients to add to your inbound
  strategy (A.K.A. THE INBOUND MARKETING MULTIPLIER):

             AN OUTBOUND                    A CORPORATE
          MARKETING STRATEGY              COMMUNICATIONS
                                              STRATEGY

                                              A NURTURING
                                             OR MARKETING
                                              AUTOMATION
                                               STRATEGY
WHY DO THESE THINGS AMPLIFY INBOUND MARKETING?
Because all buyers are unique. And they engage with different
types of content at different stages of the buying cycle.
YOUR STRATEGY MUST ENGAGE IN ALL THESE
WAYS IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A WELL-OILED
Inbound
MaRketing
Machine.

How to build a better inbound marketing machine

  • 1. Building a BetteR Inbound MaRketing Machine HOW TO AMPLIFY YOUR IMPACT (Introducing the Inbound Marketing Multiplier)
  • 2. INBOUND MARKETING is a powerful tactic, but bottom-line results don’t come from inbound marketing alone.
  • 4. They’re in control of educating themselves on their problems and potential solutions—and they want to keep it that way. SUNDAY NEWS
  • 5. INBOUND MARKETING is the process of helping potential customers find your company—often before they are even looking to make a purchase—and then turning that early awareness into brand preference and, ultimately, into leads and revenue.

  • 17. IT’S HARD TO TARGET SPECIFIC AUDIENCES WITH INBOUND MARKETING. Inbound marketing is like an air war. Carpet-bombing is efficient, but makes it hard to hit specific targets. So what you need are ground war tactics (think marines and snipers) to target specific objectives and hold territory.
  • 18. INBOUND MARKETING DOESN’T DRIVE PEOPLE TO ACTION. You wait for buyers to take action when they feel ready. But sometimes you need someone to act. Pragmatists and late adopters who don’t actively seek out alternatives and new solutions may need a push, not a pull, to take action.

  • 27. CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY Branding Analyst relations Product launches Programs to upsell to and retain customers Communications (both internal and external)
  • 28. MARKETING AUTOMATION STRATEGY What Is Marketing Automation? It’s automating the routine and repeatable tasks associated with lead management, lead nurturing, lead scoring, and creating and maintaining a marketing lead database.
  • 29.
