So what are they?\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h4><b>What is Outbound Marketing?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outbound marketing can be described as \u201cpush\u201d or \u201cinterruption\u201d marketing which uses the sales technique of pushing out a message to a large number of people in an effort to make a sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Print advertisements, TV, radio, cold calling, direct mails and mass emails are considered Outbound Marketing. It\u2019s a one-way conversation that typically focuses on the product and the reasons why the audience should buy it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outbound marketing is a marketing strategy used by most businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What is Inbound Marketing?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While outbound marketing \u2018pushes\u2019 messages to a wide audience, inbound marketing does the opposite, hence it is also called \u2018magnetic\u2019 marketing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbound marketing is a subtle, less salesy way to attract potential customers by providing them with relevant and useful information until they become customers and advocates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples of inbound marketing include blogging, content marketing, lead nurturing, marketing automation and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Outbound Vs Inbound Marketing: Which is Better?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It all depends on the situation and the strategy you adopt. Instead of asking which is better, why not combine both?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use outbound marketing to build awareness and brand exposure, reach potential clients and obtain short-term results. At the same time, use inbound marketing to achieve long-term results.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keen to learn more?
