Hinweis der Redaktion
Media has fragmented, and the traditional marketing funnel is more like a bowl of spaghetti. Proactive, megaphone messages can get lost in the shuffle, or easily tuned out by customers. Especially in ED, where the target audience is so narrow, focusing on inbound marketing is a better way to promote. Create smart, HELPFUL content and put it in places and formats will it will be found. Google’sground-breaking Zero Moment of Truth research (zeromomentoftruth.com) found that we are moving to the era of self-serve information. In 2010 people consumed 5.3 pieces of information before making a purchase. Just one year later, it was 10.4 pieces of information. A separate study found that B2B buyers want at least 60% of their questions answered before they talk to a real person.
