Posted by Amy Kenigsberg on May 20, 2025 2:00:00 PM

Marketers increasingly recognize that if they want higher ROI, more qualified sales leads, lower cost per acquisition, and increased brand authority, inbound marketing is essential.

Inbound marketing is unlike traditional outbound marketing approaches that have marketers vying for customers’ attention via ads, trade shows, and cold calling. Instead, inbound focuses on having potential leads come to you via company-created content that drives visitors to your website, engages them, and helps your sales team convert them into customers and loyal brand followers.

Is Your Content Marketing Paying Off? 10 Failproof Metrics

Posted by Amy Kenigsberg on Mar 20, 2025 7:30:00 AM
