Outbound Marketing:
Bilingual Telemarketing, Direct Mailer and Ads
The Effectiveness of Traditional Outbound Marketing
Outbound marketing campaigns are traditional methods for marketing and sales. Some tactics used with the outbound approach are bilingual telemarketing services, email campaigns, direct mailings, trade shows, and ads. It is called “outbound” because marketers send their messages out to potential clients, encouraging them to become clients in a direct and blunt fashion.
This strategy was proven to be less effective as a standalone tactic, especially when compared to inbound marketing. This is because inbound marketing seeks to attract people who already have a certain level of interest in your solution, and it may be offered as part of their natural search for more information in that area. However, the outbound approach still has value and can be extremely powerful if combined with other inbound marketing tactics.
Why Has Outbound Marketing Lost Its Appeal?
Internet makes knowledge accessible
An influx of sales communication
This makes it significantly more difficult for your outgoing message to reach potential clients. While Direct Objective acknowledges the strength of these reasons, outbound marketing is like all other tools: there are times when its use is not only appropriate, but also very effective.
What Kind of Outbound Marketing Tactics Are Available?
Outbound tactics include:
Telemarketing
Email campaigns
Direct mail
Trade shows
Ads
Overall, Direct Objective believes that in certain cases, the outbound approach can still play an important role in gaining or converting potential clients.
