Inbound benefits: Use a less risky approach to the Outbound
It is not possible to use the
same way of communicating in all the countries where one wishes to deploy one's
business. Push marketing can work very well for your brand in France, while it
would have disastrous results in some countries.
Take the case of Germany and some
Scandinavian countries. Push marketing is less and less tolerated and important
restrictions have been put in place. There are many companies where access to
social media platforms is blocked, which have a negative impact on your
sponsored posts on social networks and your Paid Search strategy in general.
Only 39% of Germans aged over 35
with higher education use social networks. This is partly due to Germany's
demographic problem: the marked aging of its population but also to the attention that this segment of the
population gives to the population.
Several studies show that content
marketing works much more in Germany, provided that one uses a certain type of
language (more formal compared to other countries) and that one concentrates on
the facts and less on the embellishments.
An inbound marketing approach
will therefore be much more suited to this type of audience, because it
involves a thorough study of buyer personas and their sales cycles, their
behavior and preferences in terms of information consumption. As a result, you
will avoid concentrating your marketing efforts and resources on channels that
are unlikely to work and you will devote more attention to creating properly
formulated qualitative content and tailored customer journeys.
Remember, however, that inbound
involves continuous work because you need to update buyer personas and buyer's
journeys as you get more information about customer profiles and expectations.
Inbound and automation mainly allow to begin to gather information on the
customers and thus improve the strategy, all at a lower cost compared to a
physical presence. For further detail please click here: Inbound marketing strategy
