Inbound Marketing for Manufacturers Blog

If you put up a digital marketing campaign and nobody sees it, does it really exist?

With internet research and social interactions becoming an integral part of our daily work routine, marketing agencies have realized a shift from traditional, in-your-face advertising to more “hands-off,” content-based marketing. 

This is called inbound marketing. This style of marketing aims to make it easier for your ideal buyers to find you organically, and eventually convert into qualified leads. 

At protocol 80, collaborating with other digital marketing creators and chatting about topics relevant to the digital marketing space is one of the things we love to do. 

Why does mobile matter for your email marketing efforts?

According to OptInMonster, 78% of smartphone users check email on their phones. 

However, only 12% of email campaigns use responsive design. Not using responsive designs for email campaigns is doing yourself and your business a disservice. Responsive design mobile marketing emails generate 24% more clicks.

What does it mean when nobody is optimizing their online efforts? It means there's an opportunity for you to outshine your competitors. You could follow the crowd and lag behind technology... or, you could blaze ahead and set the bar for your competitors and customers.

44.87% of the world's population owns a smartphone. Make your email campaigns responsive now to stay in front of tomorrow's prospects.

The truth is, the timing of inbound results is dependent on a few factors.

In order for your company to succeed, you have to be recognized. Creating brand awareness for your B2B company will help drive business and increase sales.

Is your B2B company the best-kept secret in the country? If so, I bet you would like to change that. Here's how.

What if annoyed customers didn’t shriek and run at the very sight of your company’s name or logo? What if they actually wanted reasons to visit your website? Creating a successful inbound marketing strategy will not only increase your website traffic, it will help your business stand out from competitors too.

We love social media here. It’s so … so … multifaceted. Where else can you see industry trends, baby pictures, live news, “fake” news, and relationship drama all in one place?

Blog posts add immeasurable (OK, actually very measurable) value to your company’s website. And although the content you choose to write about is crucial, there is another element that sometimes gets overlooked.

We’re talking about blog post titles.

It's true, and it makes sense, but you've gotta back up your claims with evidence. In today's blog post, we've provided a convenient list of inbound marketing statistics that will help you convince others of the power of CTAs.
