Inbound marketing is the key to getting your ideal clients coming to you. Clients who are ready, willing and able to do business with you and who are already interested in what you have to offer.
One of the biggest mistakes that business owners make when launching an inbound marketing campaign is not knowing who their ideal customer is. In the past, only large corporates were able to sacrifice a part of their marketing budget on customer research, but today – any business (big or small) needs to invest in these insights.
Digital marketing (and everything that goes along with it, such as Search Engine Optimization and content marketing) have changed the game. It means that business owners not only don’t need to market to the masses, but that they also shouldn’t, because these methods are ineffective. Knowing your audience gives you valuable insights about your target market such as the following:
- Where they hangout online
- Where they hangout in real life
- What they aspire to
- How they spend their money
- Where they are located
- What challenges or problems they are facing
- What their needs are
- Who your competitors are
This data provides the foundation that is needed to launch an inbound marketing campaign that is strategic, focused, targeted and measurable. It can help you make important business and marketing decisions and it gives you the insights you need to adjust your strategy as needed.
