Inbound Marketing vs. Outbound Marketing

When the majority marketers today talk about how they generate leads and fill the top of their sales funnel, most say outbound marketing.

So what is outbound marketing?

Outbound marketing includes trade shows, seminar series, email blasts to purchased lists, internal cold calling, outsourced telemarketing, and advertising.

In other words, these methods are described as "outbound marketing" because marketers push their message out far and wide hoping that it resonates with that needle in the haystack. 

Brian Halligan believes outbound marketing techniques are getting less and less effective over time for two main reasons:

  1. People are being inundated with too many marketing interruptions each day
  2. The cost of coordination around learning about something new using the internet is much lower than attending a seminar or flying to a trade show in Las Vegas 

Instead, he advocates inbound marketing.

McDonald’s #downunderbigmac campaign reaches just 15 social media users: Is the hashtag dead?

A McDonald’s Australia social media campaign has failed to gain any traction, after the fast food giant suggested Australians eat their burgers upside down.

The campaign encouraged Aussies to flip their Big Macs over and eat them from the bottom up, claiming the burger has so many local ingredients the only way to make it more Australian would be to “flip it down under”.

The campaign ran across the week of Australia Day and is still ongoing at the time of publication. Diners were encouraged to use the hashtag #downunderbigmac, which, as Mumbrella has highlighted had been very sparsely used.

In a column published yesterday, Mumbrella noted the hashtag had been used four times on Twitter, twice on Instagram, and not at all on Facebook.

One day later, the hashtag has appeared an additional five times on Twitter, two more times on Instagram, and twice on Facebook, both times sharing Mumbrella’s post.

Confessions of an Instagram Influencer

"I used to post cat photos. Then a marketing agency made me a star" - Max Chafkin

Because advertising budgets will inevitably flow to any medium where large numbers of people are spending large amounts of time—Instagram has attracted a sort of professional class.

These “influencers,” as they’re known, are media properties unto themselves, turning good looks and taste into an income stream: Brands pay them to feature their wares. 

There are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of influencers making a living this way.

Some make a lot more than a living. The most successful demand $10,000 and up for a single Instagram shot.

"I have been meaning to contact you and let you know that the new mailing system through Honeyweb is working great for us. It is great to look at the stats from each mail out and the fact that we can see all the emails have gone out as we were unsure how many were going out through our previous system.
