You are many different things to many different people. Take me, for example. I’m a mother, a daughter, a sister, a niece, and a soon-to-be aunt. I’m also a coach, an artist, a mentor, and an account coordinator of this inspiring company. You probably fulfill similar roles as well. But who does the public know you as? Or more importantly, who do you want the public to know you as? Take a minute to think about it. (Seriously… take a minute.)

Let’s face it. While every industry plays an important (yet sometimes subtle) role in how people live their daily lives, not every industry gives the public the same thrills and chills as another. For this reason, Seth Price interviewed Dan Moyle in his podcast entitled: Making Inbound Marketing Work for Boring Industries.

Business is booming. You’ve built more custom houses and completed more renovations over this past year than the three previous years combined. You’re netting a few million more in revenue and you feel pretty good. As you sit at your well-oiled mahogany desk, you notice a white envelope peaking out from under the newest issue of Professional Remodeler. You pull it out and open it to find a letter from your outsourced marketing team requesting a meeting to review and renew your contract. As you take a sip of your coffee, the wheels in your head begin turning. Business is great, your men are busy, money keeps rolling in, and your clients are happy. Why should you continue marketing? You’re exactly where you want to be.

Once they reach your website, you will provide opportunities for them to connect with you by requesting more information or booking an appointment. (Read more about how to create these opportunities here.)

According to the Facebook’s most recently released statistics, there are approximately 1.55 billion monthly active users on Facebook with the average user spending 20+ minutes a day on the site, which accounts for nearly 20% of their total Internet time. If you think that’s a lot, check out the average American. In his presentation of Facebook, Inc.’s quarterly progress, CEO Mark Zuckerburg announced that the average American user spends 40 minutes a day on Facebook. If you do the math, you’ll find that number adds up to 10 days, 3 hours, 7 minutes, and 20 seconds annually. It’s no wonder Facebook is considered the world’s most popular networking site.

In essence, it won’t matter how good your offer is if no one downloads it, and no one will download it if your CTA is not effective.

Take a look around and you’ll see that we are in the midst of a technological boom that is sweeping the nation. It’s no surprise that the old marketing methods (like commercials and newspaper advertising) we have grown so accustomed to are being buried by digital marketing techniques. In fact, statistics show that traditional marketing (also known as outbound marketing) is starting to lose its overall effectiveness. Inbound marketing, on the other hand, is growing in popularity among health care professionals because it embraces the new ways in which people seek medical treatment.
