Douglas Karr , CEO at DK New Media This is a great review of inbound marketing but I'm not sure I agree with the 'outbound' marketing slides. Pay per click, for example, might be seen as an outbound marketing methodology by your presentation above. Stating that outbound marketing 'isn't working' isn't true in all situations. PPC can have an incredible return on investment.

Email is another tool you state is 'outbound'; however, opt-in email is a huge tactic in most companies arsenal to drive leads internal. I'd argue that a company without an effective email program is just plain dumb. It's still a primary communication medium for most people.

Every medium has advantages and disadvantages, and must be leveraged appropriately. Rather than pitting one against the other, you should be trying to educate how to measure and use all of the mediums. Then let the return on investment tell the real story and decide where you put your efforts. 1 year ago
