An Overview of Inbound Marketing
Inbound marketing attracts customers by creating valuable content and experiences tailored to them. While outbound marketing interrupts your audience with content they don't always want, inbound marketing attracts customers by forming valuable connections they are looking for that solve problems they already have. Inbound centers around the notion that when your customers succeed, your business succeeds.
The inbound methodology is applied in three ways: customer attraction, customer engagement and customer delight. These three phases make up what’s called the flywheel, and the inbound methodology is a strong foundation for powering momentum within your flywheel.
At Sanctuary, we create powerful inbound strategies that consider every phase of your customer journey, or the path that your customers take from initial attraction to purchase. Keep reading to learn more about the flywheel, the customer journey, the role that HubSpot plays in inbound marketing, and why you should invest in this popular approach to modern digital marketing.

Attract
In the attract phase, you attract visitors with useful content and remove barriers as they try to learn about your company.
Engage
In the engage phase, you make it easier to shop and buy from you by enabling customers to engage with you on their preferred timelines and channels.
Delight
In the delight phase, you help, support and empower customers to reach their goals. Remember, customer success is your success.

The Customer Journey
Have you ever wondered how social media, Google Ads, blogging or email play a part in the bigger path to your website and becoming a customer? Customer journey mapping is a great tool for keeping track of key customer milestones along the way that ultimately lead up to a partnership with your business. Once you have mapped the journeys of several customers from each of your key audiences, you can use that information to predict and plan future experiences.
Below is an example of just one unique customer journey out of thousands of different possibilities and combinations of tactics:
Buyer’s Journey vs. Customer Journey
While the buyer’s journey only focuses on the path from initial brand awareness to purchase/conversion, the customer journey encompasses the entire customer lifetime journey from initial awareness, to purchase, to repeat purchases and testimonials. When you focus on the customer journey and ways to attract, engage AND delight your customers, you put energy back into your flywheel and allow it to propel further business growth.
