An Introduction to Inbound Marketing

Inbound marketing refers to marketing activities that bring in potential customers, rather than outbound marketing, which relies on marketers having to go out to get prospects' attention. In both inbound and outbound marketing, each potential customer, whether it’s a person or a company, is considered a “lead”. Leads can be individuals who interact with the content on your website, sign-up for a newsletter, or someone who has been referred to you by others. Generally, anyone who provides you with his or her email address or phone number can be considered a lead.
