Inbound Marketing
It’s marketing with a magnet, not a sledgehammer — marketing based on content that attracts and nurtures prospects, not spam that interrupts them.
Clients come to you… and fall in love.
Inbound marketing is one part of a much bigger movement in the business world… Inbound. Inbound is a methodology that, at its core, is all about attracting, engaging, and delighting people with the ultimate goal of growing a business by providing value and building trust.
With traditional outbound marketing (interruption marketing), companies use marketing tactics to reach and interrupt the general public in the hopes of getting a few prospects. Inbound marketing, on the other hand, draws those individuals seeking your products and/or services into your company at the exact moment when they have your products or services in mind. Don’t interrupt someone if you want to sell to him or her. Instead, be there when they need you the most. The old tactics of interruption marketing don’t work as well as they used to because your target audience has learned to tune out traditional advertising – what they now consider an interruption.

The Neolynx Inbound Marketing Process
The process we use includes three steps: campaign, project and task. The process seems simple
and straightforward, but each step is comprised of many more steps.
Campaign
A Campaign is a series of projects designed to achieve a specific goal. Different projects can be
included in a campaign depending on the purpose they serve. For example the goal could be to
maximize the number of leads generated. In that case we would focus on projects such as email
blasts, and lead nurturing.
Project
A project is comprised of many specific tasks. Each project has a specific series of tasks that
need to be performed in a specific sequence in order to achieve great results.
Task
