Inbound marketing and outbound marketing are popular jargon terms that actually have very simple meanings. Outbound marketing includes communication tools that are one-way and paid for. For instance, direct mail pieces, advertisements, and promotional products are considered outbound marketing. Conversely, inbound marketing is about two-way communication or earning people’s attention via tools such as blogs, social media networks, and infographs. As you can imagine, inbound marketing is commanding the attention of businesses worldwide.
Earlier this year HubSpot released its 2012 State of Inbound Marketing Report once again shining a spotlight on the growing popularity of inbound marketing.
