Why Inbound Marketers are the Right Choice for B2B Manufacturers
Inbound marketing is one of the buzzwords in the marketing community, but to B2B manufacturers, who historically haven’t invested much in marketing, it’s unfamiliar. Inbound marketing is the new way to reach customers, and unlike traditional methods of advertising like print ads and TV commercials, it’s not just for B2Cs. Inbound techniques attract buyers who want, need, or are interested in your offerings to you when they want information about your products or services or are ready to make a purchase. Like the way that sounds? Then you need to hire an inbound marketing company.
What Do Inbound Marketers Do?
The goal of inbound marketing is to bring clients to you, bring them inbound, rather than having to reach out to them with outbound, interruptive marketing like traditional ads. So a large component of what inbound marketers do is create content that will attract clients to you, and most of this is online. First, they determine who your ideal client types are and what needs, questions, and concerns those ideal clients have. Next, they create a variety of types of content that address those needs, from your website page content to downloadable ebooks to blog articles to emails. Then, inbound marketers set to work promoting that content so that those potential customers can find it.
Why Do You Need an Inbound Marketing Company?
Short answer: because you’re experts in what you do, and they’re experts in what they do. Inbound and digital marketing is a complex field that is constantly changing, and if you’re not an expert marketer, there are a lot of ways you can go wrong and a lot of opportunities that you can miss out on. Inbound marketing is all these companies do, and they’re very good at it. They hire skilled content writers, web designers, search experts, and social media strategists who know exactly how to target the buyers and companies you want as customers. Have you seen how engineers write? Do you think prospects will want to read that? Yeah, we don’t either.
