Marketing: Inbound vs. Outbound
What is Inbound marketing and why is it better that Outbound marketing?
Inbound marketing changes how we communicate with our prospects. Instead of pushing a message out to as many people as we can afford (Outbound) – we use online tools to position our businesses to be found by prospects using SEO (Search Engine Optimization), blogs and social media.

Outbound marketing is becoming less effective because people are tired of receiving so much advertising.
