			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The way businesses are marketing nowadays has really changed and they are no longer using the traditional methods. The business environment is highly competitive now and this has brought with it new forms of marketing called inbound marketing. This involves being found by people who are interested in what you are offering. New tools have now given marketers insight allowing them to target specific audiences who are mostly interested in the product and at the same time, analyze metrics that affect the way marketing campaign is done. Some of the methodologies that are being used include:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Websites</strong> – An online presence exposes the company to their targeted customers. A well designed page streamlines the content to reduce people who just look at the home page and log off from the page. The idea is to ensure the customers get interested in browsing further into the site</li>
<li><strong>Search Engine Optimization (SEO)</strong> – There are many tactics that are used to attain optimization. There are major targets that are being set by Google, Bing and others which create a better user experience for its users and web designers have to confirm to them</li>
<li><strong>Article marketing</strong> – Many people think that article marketing is not as active as it used to be. This is a way that sites gain traffic and the service and products receive attention. This strategy provides valuable information on a topic and make it available for free in the form of whitepaper or e-book</li>
<li><strong>E-mail marketing</strong> – This is a traditional method that has been used and it is changing drastically with the time. It is a common and very effective way to communicate an offer and it is also very cost effective. By using a competent Email Service Provider (ESP), you are sure that the messages get delivered well</li>
<li><strong>Social Media marketing (SMM)</strong> – This builds a community of followers who just need to ‘like’ your page and for any information you post about your goods and products, they are able to view them. A good Social Media Marketing (SMM) is the most easy to use and most cost effective to give exposure to your brand or service.</li>
<li><strong>Pay Per Click (PPC)</strong> – Becoming top in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPS) is the dream of every business owner. With the right tactics, this is very achievable but it is based on various factors. The more you pay, the higher you are up the page. Pay Per Click (PPC) campaigns are a stronger compliment to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and they bring immediate and noticeable traffic to your website.</li>
</ol>
