Delivering new customers with valuable content and conversion strategies

Inbound marketing is a relatively new concept, but most marketers agree that it has quickly become the most effective lead generation tool available. NextPage will help deliver new, qualified leads to you by creating valuable digital content like blogs, infographics, e books, social media, and emails that your potential customers will find of value, make it available via an indexed online search, and then deliver these potential customers to your website as they click through the content.  And because you are giving valuable content that these prospects want and need, they are willing to share their contact information in exchange for this content, and are thus nurtured through your “sales funnel” from a sales qualified lead, to a customer.

The methodology of inbound marketing involves four basic actions:

• Attract the stranger and deliver them as a visitor to your website via a search, blog or social media marketing.

• Convert the visitor to a lead through a form, landing page or call-to-action.

• Close the lead to a customer with CRM workflows, email follow-up, and lead scoring.

• Delight the customer to be a promoter of your business through surveys, smart content and social monitoring.

Here are 6 stats on inbound marketing that speaks to its success:

1. B2B companies that blog generate 67% more leads per month than those that don’t.
2. The Content Marketing Institute reports that 8 out of 10 people identify themselves as blog readers, and 23% of all time spent online is spent on social media sites.
