5 Pillars that Define the Future of Inbound Marketing Agencies

Inbound The world of digital inbound marketing moves fast. Decades ago, there were a handful of online marketing channels that would enable businesses to thrive. Today, there's a wealth of ways to generate quality inbound traffic to a web property.

With continual changes in this digital marketing world, below we highlight five ways in which inbound marketing agencies are out-doing their competitors, providing exceptional service to clients, and attracting new clients to support their business.

1. Know the language

As a marketer, speaking the client's language is key, in today's fast paced world, companies have to speak multiple languages in order to compete. Serving the Americas, Asia, Europe, and other world markets, you must speak various languages in order to compete. More than 1/2 of the top 20 on the list of Fortune's Global 500 are non-English speaking. If you don't modify your business, you won't compete and draw in the clientele.

2. Know the culture

There are many cultural differences you have to account for. Sure, you speak different Asian languages, but cultural differences can mean insulting a client and losing them, or drawing them in and attracting new ones. Ethnic, religious, and linguistics can get in the way; therefore, it is critical to learn the culture, and ethnic differences, in order to prevent offending clients and getting into trouble in your business structure.

3. Quick pace

The 48 hour task only takes 24 hours today; the fast paced, non-stop digital world won't stop for you, so your business has to speed up to keep up. New systems and processes should be put into place, on-call consultants, the right software, and the right people, will all go a long way to keeping your business relevant. If you can't keep up, you won't see the new clients coming in, and are sure to lose some clients over time.

4. Work, work, work

Learning how to pro-source, allowing your agency to work 24 hours a day, rather than a 16 hour day, will keep you relevant in the world of inbound marketing. Have a team of experts, in different regions, who can work around the clock. Outsourcing and crowd sourcing allow you to provide the 24/7 service, which is not only desirable, but is expected by most clients in today's busy world as well.

5. Reach globally but keep local control

Keeping local control over your remote teams is imperative for your agency to run smoothly. However, outsourcing, having the right resources and software, and using the right tools, gives you the global reach you need to attract new clients, and keep up with online competitors. The agency of the future not only does it well, but maintains control of their teams to provide the best service to client.

The SEO and inbound marketing services of yesterday won't compete in the fast paced, continually changing world of online marketing today. As an agency providing inbound services and marketing services, using the right tools, the right people, and keeping up with the continual changes in every industry is key. Consider these factors to ensure you not only maintain your clientele, but also keep up with competitors in this extremely competitive world of online marketing services.
