This document discusses the transformation from outbound to inbound marketing that occurred in 2013. It defines inbound marketing as relying on earning people's interest rather than buying it, using tactics like SEO, blogging, social media, and targeted landing pages. Inbound marketing has higher response rates and lower costs than outbound marketing approaches. The key is shifting to a mindset of building relationships rather than just telling and selling. Companies need to focus on spreading as a brand on social media to help people and build value in order to get identified as a brand and higher conversions. The year 2013 was about transforming from good to great by sharing content that people want rather than shouting, and getting found rather than making people find you.
7. Search engines, blogging & other Internet trends have
fundamentally transformed
the way people & businesses
purchase products.
8. Audiences everywhere are tough. They don’t have time to be
bored or brow beaten by orthodox, old-fashioned
advertising.
Today, the goal of marketing
needs to be to “get found” by
customers when they are
looking, not “get in their
face

22. 2013 : Companies needs to focus more on spread out as a BRAND to
get higher conversions.
Social Media is about building relationships, to help, to add value in the
lives of people to start getting identified as a BRAND.
BRAND is What people think about You.
BRAND always has high weight over other be it SEO, BLOG or any
other form of Online Marketing.
BRAND always has 1 message to share which gets reflected by the
content it has.
What kind of Content We share & How we share makes the difference
