The More You Understand The Dynamics Behind Your Website's Activity, The Easier It Is To Improve Your Inbound Marketing ROI.
If you are in the process of researching, learning or improving your current inbound marketing strategy it might be helpful if we offer you this baseline inbound marketing formula created by HubSpot, a top software developer in the inbound marketing industry.
- Attract: The process of attracting your target audience(s) into specific landing pages, primary web pages, blog posts or social media posts. There are other components available but these are the basics. This is the primary difference between traditional marketing and this new form of marketing online also known as attraction marketing or digital marketing. Traditional marketing is sometimes referred to as interruption marketing within the digital marketing industry.
- Convert: This is the next step in a successful inbound marketing strategy and will filter out a more qualified lead or prospect from the larger database of contacts you gain from the first element of this formula. As with all the steps in this formula, each step will result in fewer connections than the previous step. Your are filtering down a much broader marketing into a very targeted audience that is much more likely to purchase your product or services. Understand that depending on the particular product or service your business is marketing, there may be more than one conversion stage. For example, a business may convert a website visitor into a lead or expressly interested prospect, then have a second conversion where the lead converts into a customer. All of these steps need to be recognized, measured, evaluated and modified if an improvement is forecasted.
- Close: This step can be looked at as a conversion step but probably the most obvious step of all. The inbound marketing strategy must account for obtaining the customer and that is what this stage represents.
- Delight: A great inbound marketing strategy will also take advantage of the happy customer. In this day and age (and popularity) of social media platforms a good marketer will make it easy for the satisfied customer to share their experience on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, You Tube, Pinterest or any of the other social media websites that are appropriate.
Here is a great illustration created by HubSpot that illustrates the entire inbound marketing process:
