There is no doubt if you are in business of any kind, that over the past few years, marketing has shifted significantly. The marketing strategies businesses are using have shifted from offline to online. Even if a business has not yet moved “online” with a website or social media account, Google may have already created a Google+ page for the business, or The Yellow Pages has listed the business in their online directories (but that’s another blog for another time).
Have you ever walked into a business and knew right away that something was different? Have you met representatives from a company and knew right away that you wanted to partner with them? What is it that makes a business stand out, what is it that draws you in. That thing that is sometimes hard to put your finger on is culture.

Starting a new business? Launching a new product? Want to get your message out there as fast as possible?! Well, that’s why social media is an important marketing tool! If you want to spread the word about your new endeavor, stop asking why is social media important and get ready to launch your campaign on social media and promote, promote, promote!
You may be asking what the difference is between normal lead generation techniques and Inbound Marketing lead generation techniques? Well, there are many different lead generation techniques that are employed across industries (some frankly are better than others).
