7 Top-Performing Strategies from an Inbound Marketing Agency

Wouldn't it be great if you could design a marketing strategy and content where customers came to you? Not only this, but they kept returning and remained loyal and dedicated customers. 

Such a strategy exists, and it's much easier to execute than you think — it's known as inbound marketing. Today we examine the inbound marketing definition and seven high-level strategies you can implement to supercharge your inbound marketing performance.

What Is an Inbound Marketing Definition?

Inbound marketing is a marketing strategy designed to attract customers to your business through interesting, engaging, and educational company-created content and offers.  

This is the opposite of outbound marketing, which aims to reach potential customers through advertisements or cold emails. In addition, inbound marketing is more relationship-focused, whereas outbound marketing is focused on sales and customer acquisition. 

A successful inbound marketing strategy relies on three critical pillars: 

  1. First, attraction is when you are targeting the attention of leads to your site. This is accomplished through engaging and helpful content, social media pages, YouTube, or other sources that showcase your business as an industry leader. 

  2. Secondly, engagement establishes the foundation of the relationship with the interested parties. 

  3. Finally, you should nurture the relationship by continuing the relationship through offers, support, and insights to develop a long-term relationship. 

Mastering the fundamentals of attracting, engaging, and nurturing (along with search engine optimization) sets you up for success through inbound marketing!Inbound Marketing Strategy Advertisement Commercial Branding Concept-1

Why Is Inbound Marketing Important?

When done well, inbound marketing is one of the cheapest and most efficient ways to reach new customers for your business. 

Some of the additional benefits include the following: 

  • Authority in your industry

  • A stream of potential customers

  • Allows you to test the performance of content/insights and ideas

  • Supports your company's branding 

  • Establishes a tone of voice for your company 

  • Builds trust in your business 

So, how can you "inbound" market? First, you need a well-rounded strategy to reach your target audience. 

7 Strategies To "Level Up" Your Inbound Marketing

Now, let's look at some of the top ways you can build an inbound marketing strategy for your business. 

Strategies to Attract Leads

Again, "inbound" requires "attracting" traffic and leads to your website. Apply these strategies to drive traffic!

1. Blogging and Pillar Pages

When creating blog and pillar page content, you're speaking directly to your future customers. This means your content must be customer focused, informative, and educational. In addition, the content must be accessible and optimized for SEO and Google updates

To help with developing your content, consider the following questions:  

  • Who is my ideal customer?

  • What issues are they currently facing?

  • How do my products or services address this? 

  • What insights can I share that will help customers?

People read blogs to be informed and entertained. So, overly pushy sales CTAs may dissuade readers. Instead, include a soft CTA towards the end of the post. 

2. Strategic Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing presents an opportunity to mix it up and interact with customers more intimately. Choose a handful of the top platforms in your industry and share fun images, company updates, polls, and other interactive posts.

As a pro tip, ensure your team is on hand to answer questions and feedback posts on your social media pages. 

3. Guest Posting 

To increase your overall presence and earn high-quality backlinks, consider guest posting on similar sites in your niche. This strategy can take some work, but it can pay off when your content reaches a broader audience!

Strategies To Interact With Potential Customers 

Now we're at the engagement stage. Use the following tips to highlight why your business is the best choice for potential customers!

4. Opt-In Content: White Papers, Ebooks, Case Studies 

These content types are considered "premium" and (in many cases) should be opt-in only. This means interested customers must "put their hand up" digitally by entering contact details or an email address to say, "I want this."

Ensure that this content is written with quality and not as a strategy to secure email addresses. 

5. Email Marketing for Lead Nurturing

Now that the relationship has been established and a lead has opted in for your content, you must nurture the relationship to a sale. This is a delicate balancing act between engaging the customer with your content, insights, and other meaningful content and injecting a CTA at some stage in the pipeline.

It's easier (and cheaper) to keep existing customers than acquire new ones! Apply these strategies to keep customers coming back to your business. 

6. Provide a Chatbot for Ongoing Support

Providing quick and efficient customer support is one of the most precise ways to showcase your support of existing customers while building credibility. For example, a chatbot can answer customer questions in real-time without waiting for a customer service representative on the phone or by email. 

7. Customer Surveys

Feedback can make or break your business. By utilizing surveys, you can find out what customers like and don't like as well as any needs or frustration points to address about your services. 

How Can an Inbound Marketing Agency Help?

Functioning inbound marketing efforts involve many moving parts! It's also arguably the most crucial marketing strategy to grow and maintain your existing business, which is why so many trust an inbound marketing agency with the task. 

Geekly Media has the experience to get your inbound marketing strategies working right to build your customer base — so you can focus on what you do best.  

Successful Inbound Marketing Is a Key to Growing Your Business

With the right strategy, inbound marketing can help you grow your business! Imagine new leads finding your business while you sleep — already prepared to take it to the next level.
