What Digital Marketing Problems Do Manufacturing Companies Have?
Manufacturers commonly are fighting a battle with a series of marketing challenges due to vast competition; and the limited amount of funding, knowledge and human resources available. Marketing manufacturing services and products are some of the most challenging sectors to promote and gather positive response. Therefore, without an experienced and well-equipped marketing team, results and profits will be limited.
Outbound VS Inbound Marketing
Modern marketing methods offer more than one way of promoting a business. There are now two options; which include Outbound Marketing and Inbound Marketing. But what is the difference?
The Difference between Outbound and Inbound Marketing
Outbound Marketing is simply put ‘the old fashion way’ of marketing. This involves promoting products and services out to a general (non-targeted or reduced targeted) audience using exclusive approaches, such as direct mail marketing (i.e. postcards and other mailers), television, billboards, newspaper and magazine ads, etc. Outbound marketing methods are considered interruptive ways of reaching consumers, as they are not necessarily available to the prospect in the most convenient way or timeframe that would make communication effective.
Inbound Marketing is the more modern method of marketing products and services and has more potential for reaching a specific target audience. This approach is non-interruptive and encourages influential engagement between the brand and the consumer. The heart of inbound marketing begins with a well developed website. And the most common ways of generating this inbound traffic to a website is with digital marketing strategies; which most commonly include content marketing and search engine optimization, social media marketing and email marketing.
Does Inbound Marketing Work for Manufacturers?

The Top Ways Digital Marketing Benefits Manufacturers:
Target Marketing
With the well-focused marketing initiatives offered in digital marketing, manufacturers have the ability to select their specific audience to target who they are already well aware of; and are interested in or in need of their products or services.
Top Lead Generation
There is no better source for developing quality leads with the best prospects than with search engine optimization (SEO). When a website is built with SEO, it literally becomes like a magnet pulling in the most qualified potential prospects possible.
Budget Friendly
Inbound digital marketing is significantly more cost effective than old-school, direct marketing methods and receives responses more efficiently and quickly. In addition, a website and digital marketing initiatives work for you 24/7. These mediums also have the ability to reach prospects worldwide without any additional costs.
Builds Brands
Unlike individual, physical marketing materials that are distributed to a small number of prospects and have a short shelf-life, digital marketing efforts performed by professional digital marketers (i.e. web pages, blog posts, ebooks) become consistent, always available, informative content that works for you day and night, 365 days per year. With this type of marketing medium, your brand is built and becomes strengthened.
Establish Long Lasting Relationships
Again, the efforts implemented within your inbound marketing approaches; and based on the dedication to routine quality content; as well as by response and engagement using social media and email marketing; will continually establish new prospects and help to maintain existing customers.
Report Insights
Since the evolution of marketing and advertising, there has never been a better way to track data from advertising as what is available with digital marketing methods. With online tools, such as Google Analytics, SEMRush, Ahrefs.com and other resourceful platforms, businesses can fine tune their marketing efforts simply by utilizing these tools and implementing marketing strategies based on their findings.
