Inbound Marketing

“People don’t want to be sold anymore, but they want to buy!”  It is no wonder that consumers are being exposed to thousands of marketing messages on a daily basis through TV, direct mail, email, internet, radio, and many more clever ways.  It gets overwhelming!

More and more customers are finding ways to remove themselves from that overwhelm with devices like TiVo and email filters.  They are getting wary of marketing that is interrupting them from their normal way of life.

More and more of these smart potential customers have found more easy ways to conduct product review, check out social proof, get peer reviews, and find the best way to make a smart purchase.  Don’t get us wrong, potential customers are educating themselves and learning very fast new ways, but they want the products when they are ready.  They are information hungry and very much interested in educating themselves.

Revitalize Your Web Presence with C.A.L.V.In

Is your website not generating leads or sales and not attracting web traffic that you need?

Did you know that over 95% of the people who visit a website leave within few seconds before even reading couple of paragraphs?

Do you know how long on average a visitor spends on your website?

According to industry statistics, there are about 400 million websites on the Internet and growing rapidly.  About 90% of the websites are just brochures but online. Remember how many people actually read brochures or flyers that we get in our mail box.  Of the people who read, how many believe in them?

Lead Generation and Conversion to Customers

Lead Generation and Conversion is one of the essential goals of Inbound Marketing. It is the process of targeting your potential customers key pain points, adding value by providing valuable information in exchange for their contact information.   While the goal of website and webpages is to attract the right target customer, we need to also provide some information that is of value that will make your prospects come back to your site over and over again.   Many terms have been used in the past for these kind of pages, but we need to caution against overtly forcing prospects to do something they do not trust.

The best way to engage prospects is to provide something of value addressing the key pain points for your target customer.  Most of the time if you provide the right information, along with the solution and allow prospects to sell themselves into the solution to their pain points, it is the most effective marketing.  Of course, this means, as a solution provider, you understand clearly their problems and have an authentic solution.  The emotional aspects to generate interest and capture lead information is completely dependent on how well is your understanding of their situation along with the social proof that you can provide.

We completely understand it takes about 5-7 interactions before the prospect can turn into a customer. However, you need to capture their contact information so that you can get in touch with them and earn their trust and hence their business.

With the Inbound Marketing platform, you can keep track of your leads and let your prospects know how your business can help them.
