Understanding Inbound Marketing

Inbound marketing is the process of helping potential customers find your company, often before they're ready to make a purchase. This approach is based on the flywheel principle: here the focus is on engaging with potential prospects through relevant content based on where they currently lie in the buyer’s journey.

At Velocity, we've based our entire business model on this approach. Our service offerings all point towards the inbound methodology, implementing strategies across marketing elements that attract, engage, and delight prospects. This drives new leads and helps you meet your business goals.

Attract

Inbound marketing starts with creating valuable content that aligns with the needs of your target audiences. This could include blog posts, white papers, infographics, or any other type of content that provides value to your audience. Videos and podcasts are very useful to reach those audiences that want visual engagement. The goal is to attract potential customers to your business and establish your company as a trusted resource.

Engage

The engagement phase begins when a potential customer reaches out to enquire about a product or service. This is your opportunity to build a relationship with the customer, providing them with the information they need and guiding them through the buying process.

Delight

The final phase of the inbound methodology is delight. This involves providing excellent customer service, ensuring that your customers are not just satisfied, but delighted with their experience. This can lead to repeat business, positive reviews, and referrals, all of which can help grow your business.

The Benefits of Inbound Marketing for Tech Distribution

Inbound marketing offers several benefits for tech distribution businesses. Here are just a few:

1. Increased Visibility: By creating valuable content and optimising it for search engines, you can increase your visibility online and attract more potential customers to your business.

2. Improved Customer Relationships: Inbound marketing is all about providing value to your customers. By consistently providing helpful, relevant content, you can build strong relationships with your customers and establish your business as a trusted resource.

3. Higher Conversion Rates: Because inbound marketing attracts customers who are already interested in what you have to offer, it tends to have higher conversion rates than traditional outbound marketing methods.

4. Cost-Effective: Inbound marketing is often more cost effective than traditional marketing methods. It focuses on creating quality content that attracts customers organically, reducing the need for expensive advertising campaigns.
