Inbound Marketing and the New LinkedIn App


Social media is a great marketing tactic for generating new leads for both B2B and B2C companies. Did you know that LinkedIn is 277% more effective for lead generation than Facebook and Twitter?  People don't join LinkedIn to post photos of their animals or their crazy weekend. People join LinkedIn to showcase their career, expertise, and find content and information that pertains to their industry. The people utilizing LinkedIn are different from those on Facebook and Twitter. Allowing you to target and focus on those individuals with a business-focused mindset.


Did you know that LinkedIn is comprised on the following:



    • 200 million world wide

    • 40 Million in the United States

    • 7.9 million business decision makers

    • 5.5 million high tech managers

    • 1.3 million small business owners

    • 4.2 million corporate executives


LinkedIn isn't just a great resource for business professionals but also for companies. See what other businesses are doing. To get the most out of LinkedIn and successfully generate qualified leads is to promote and share links to the landing pages for your marketing offers in the status updates of your company.
