Inbound marketing is a marketing philosophy based on the principle: Be found by potential customers from your target audience without disrupting them with traditional marketing tools.
Marketing in the U.S.

Inbound Online Marketing

How do you ensure you attract prospects and generate leads in the USA that marketing can qualify? At what point can a lead become a customer and truly convert?

 

There are many misconceptions about marketing. Comments like "Marketing is expensive," "Marketing isn't measurable," and "We'll just do some AdWords and an English brochure" are often heard.

 

Engrish
While Google Translate can be handy for quickly understanding an email in a foreign language, for business communication, it's a no-go.

Effective marketing involves so much more, such as:

  • Creating new buyer personas specifically for the U.S. market.
  • Designing new funnels that specifically target the USA.
  • Ensuring full ADA & WCAG compliance.

These are all areas where specialists can assist you. With a realistic budget, we can support your export inbound marketing efforts.

What's So Different About It?

Marketing in the United States

Marketing in the United States operates differently than in the Netherlands. Sometimes simply translating content or making minor adjustments isn't the best solution. It takes more than a quick fix to transition from outbound to inbound marketing effectively. The definition of marketing is: all activities a company undertakes to promote the sale of its products or services.

People to People

Target Audiences vs. Profiles

Everyone encounters marketing all day long, whether it's through detergent ads or other products promising a happy life. With the rise of the internet, marketers now know more about people than ever before. Target audiences have evolved into individual profiles.

In the past, we distinguished between B2B and B2C, but now everything has become P2P—People to People—because people do business with people.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT?

We Focus on the Unique Buying Point

While older companies still grapple with their USP—Unique Selling Point—by trying to sell you something you may not want, they've defined what they think is important. But does the customer feel the same way? We believe using the UBP—Unique Buying Point—is far more effective. This approach shifts the focus from disrupting and irritating to being relevant when and where the consumer desires it.

Opinions differ, but essentially, sales existed before marketing, with marketing there to support sales—a "ribbon on top." These days, marketing is responsible for about 95% of transactions, with sales mainly finalizing the agreement.

Marketing Communication Strategy

While crafting your business strategy, you should have thoroughly considered your marketing and communication strategy. What exactly is your organization's mission? Are you aware of the questions or challenges your ideal customer faces in your ideal market? Is everything you communicate aligning with these foundational elements? Have you sufficiently thought about your Blue Ocean in America?

Types of Marketing in the USA

image
Direct & Telemarketing
Years ago, we used to send out mail—direct marketing. Every day, a stack of paper in the mailbox full of advertisements. Follow-up calls were then considered telemarketing, where the aim was to keep calling until the order was placed.
image
Print & E-mail Marketing
Print marketing like newspapers and magazines has been largely replaced by online marketing. Every day, you open your email inbox to find email marketing campaigns, which often border on spam.
image
Affiliate & Social Media Marketing
While affiliate marketing still exists, it has seen better days. Hardly anyone places a web store banner on their homepage anymore. Lastly, there's social media marketing, ranging from Facebook ads to influencers on Instagram.
