       5 Steps to Increase Traffic &
       Convert Leads into Customers



       Traditional Marketing
       Traditional marketing techniques involve ads such as
       commercials, billboards, and direct mail which can be
       costly and difficult to measure. Since your message is
       going out to all sorts of people who might not want
       your product or are not ready to buy, traditional
       marketing can be like taking a shot in the dark.

                                                          techniques such as content creation, search marketing,
                                                             and social media that help potential buyers find your
                                                          business when they are ready to buy. This brings better,
                                                                      more qualified leads into your sales funnel.




          1         Create compelling content for
                    all stages of the buying cycle
        Before potential customers can find you, you must first
        create valuable content that will attract them to your site.
        Often this is called “content marketing” because it uses
        content as a way to attract visitors and increase traffic to
        your site. What kind of content? Think blog posts, white
        papers/eBooks, infographics, and even videos.




                                      Get found by people who need
                                          your products & services                                         2
                                                               Using advanced search marketing techniques and
                                                      optimizing keywords targeted to your desired audience will
                                                      ensure your content is found by web users who are actively
                                                          searching for the information you are providing. Sharing
                                                      your posts on social media and utilizing relevant hashtags is
                                                           another effective tactic to drive traffic to your content.




          3
                    Convert visitors to leads and
                    nurture the relationship
        A landing page allows a website visitor to share their contact information
        with you, and helps you identify the type of content they are interested in.
        Calls to action let your visitors know what you want them to do and direct
        them to the landing pages you’ve created. As you build a list of people who
        are interested in your content, you can further nurture the relationship            Download
                                                                                              now!
        through social media and email marketing until they are ready to buy.

                                                              leads to customers                              4
        Shopping                            With inbound marketing, your offers and landing pages are tailored to
    Ready to buy                          people at all stages of the buying process – which means that you can
                                          spend your valuable sales time talking to people who are at the bottom
                                             of the funnel (i.e. ready to buy), and automate communication with
                                                                          people who are earlier in the sales cycle.




          5
                    Analyze and adjust your
                    marketing tactics
        The final step of a successful inbound marketing campaign is to
        monitor your results and make adjustments to your strategy. Are
        your leads getting “stuck” somewhere in the sales funnel?
        Proper monitoring and analysis will help you pinpoint the areas
        where you may need to adjust your offers and content.




        Inbound marketing
        is An ongoing
        process
        It requires consistent care and feeding in
        order to keep your business growing –
        when executed effectively it also
        creates a system that consistently
        and repeatedly generates qualified
        leads for your business.                                                                      Happy
                                                                                                              Customer
