INBOUND ISN’T ENOUGH

At its core, inbound marketing is about attracting the likeliest customers and enticing them to come to you. Inbound marketing is commonly referred to as a pull marketing model because you are using tactics and great content to pull the attention of your prospects to your brand. Your prospects, when they respond, are self-identifying as interested, and so they are possibly qualified to some degree. In inbound marketing, you set the stage with attractive content, SEO, and other tactics, and then work to help the right people find your website and your offerings. In contrast, outbound is push marketing; you proactively push information or content to people you hope will become buyers, or to people who are already existing customers. You can control the message and timing, and often target known prospects with personalized messaging.
