Inbound Conversions – How Inbound Marketing Attracts Leads and Converts Them to Customers

You know the saying, ?Don?t reinvent the wheel?? We?ve all heard it. We all know what it means. But, does it actually make sense in the New World of Marketing and Inbound Conversions?

Over the past 5,000 or so years, a wheel has served the same basic function of reducing friction to facilitate movement. But the wheel has changed a lot. New, more efficient materials have been invented. Customized wheel solutions have been built for different vehicles. The rims on a tire are a far cry from wagon wheels.

The point is, the wheel has been reinvented?the only consistency is its round shape. Now think of your marketing. Marketing 101 dictates ?Find a need and fill it.? This is the marketing wheel that hasn?t changed. ?Then why make any other kind of change?

The strategy, style, design and execution of marketing needed fixing.

As consumer media consumption habits change via the internet, so must our marketing efforts. The difference today is consumers are now telling us what they want based on their internet search terms and their online navigation habits. We simply need to respond with relevant information and content. So, do you still believe it is impossible to reinvent your marketing strategies and tactics?
