Inbound Marketing

Inbound marketing or content marketing is a term that has been around for a while, the name frames the concept of attracting potential customers to you through the use of content. Content marketing done well to high quality SEO practices will not just deliver you enquiries but also support your website. For complex purchases like hearing aids, people need information in order to make a purchase decision. It is increasingly obvious from the search stats that Google make available that more and more people are researching healthcare and specifically hearing healthcare on-line.

This makes content marketing a must, authoritative well written content will be the cornerstone of your on-line marketing. It is an important and integral part of your overall marketing strategy that is important right now. Not just something that may well help you in the future.

A Changing Consumer

But Why is content marketing a must, what is different, what has changed? Traditional marketing is becoming less and less effective as consumers change. Consumers have shut off the traditional world of marketing, TV advertising can be easily skipped, news paper circulation is in free fall and most people can read a magazine or surf the web without being conscious of any advertising.

Interruption marketing is no longer giving the returns that it once did. Content marketing is non-interruption marketing, it is the provision of free information to your prospective consumer. The underlying belief being that as they gain knowledge and decide to move forward with a purchase decision. Because of your earned authority you are the one they will want to buy from.
