Which organization was the best inbound marketing and why?

My honest answer is that I found Netflix to have the best inbound marketing plan because they are well known platform to the community, and they have three hundred followers, and they have a strong social media presence. They have viral marketing and content sharing and. They have consistent brand identity and the key success to their logo and movies online. It is customer driven and the benefit of Netflix is that they use a customer centric model to gain customers for a seamless experience.

 

 

 

 

Give examples of how each organization could improve its inbound marketing!

 

Netflix and Spotify can improve its inbound marketing by creating a buzz and do more email marketing and run social media contest to create a buzz to increase brand awareness including more social sharing, so it leads to a better Seo ranking. Also implementing a loyal program so it builds a personal relationship with the buyer and create brand new advocates. They should also gather more surveys and customer service feedback to increase satisfaction. Work off Seo strategy so the website will rank higher. This is my opinion on how it could improve its inbound marketing strategy.

They could also expand more content by offering niche interests

And improve their search functionality by using search engine for specific content. They could also increase social media engagement by hosting Q&A sessions with actors and creators and do contest giveaways.

They can also provide more recommendations and do more interactive campaigns and experiment with new ad formats.
