Why are traditional outbound marketing models losing their effectiveness while new types of ‘Inbound Marketing’ gaining steam?
First, let’s define ‘Outbound Marketing’… promoting products or services through continued advertising, promotions, public relations and sales; interruption marketing. A few examples are, Trade Shows, Telemarketing, Print Advertising, Direct Mail and TV/Radio Advertisements. These are just to name a few.
Outbound Marketing (Traditional/Old school) is getting increasingly challenging every day. It constitutes the majority of marketing budgets for many businesses, has been around for ages and some even consider it a cost of doing business; however, outbound marketing presents many difficulties.
What are some of the difficulties with outbound marketing?
- Difficulty in tracking return on investment (ROI)
- Increased blocking techniques (Do not call list, Spam filters, TiVo, etc.)
- High cost, low yield; as in direct mail, with response rates declining
Why continue with ‘Old School’ techniques when new trends continue to be more effective?
