TYPES OF MARKETING STRATEGIES:

• Traditional Marketing:

Traditional marketing refers to brand promotion on offline channels that were

around before the rise of the internet. Think billboards, flyers, and radio spots. Because

information wasn't as easily accessible and readily available, the majority of traditional

marketing relied on outbound tactics such as print, television ads, and billboards.

• Outbound Marketing:

Outbound marketing refers to intrusive promotion, such as cold calling, email

blasts to purchased lists, and print ads. This marketing method is called "outbound"

because it involves pushing a message out to consumers to raise awareness on your

products or services — regardless of consumer interest.

• Inbound Marketing:

Inbound marketing, on the other hand, is focused on attracting customers

rather than interrupting them. The majority of inbound marketing tactics fall under digital

Stealth marketing occurs when brands promote their products or service to

consumers who don’t realize they’re being marketed to. For instance, when you’re

watching a television show, and see a branded product integrated into the shot.

• Affiliated Marketing:

When a business rewards another brand – called an affiliate or affiliate

partner – with a commission for each purchase made by a customer through the affiliate's

promotion tactics, that's affiliate marketing. It's popular among influencers but can also be

used by brands to promote products or services that align with their own.

• Partnered marketing:

Partner marketing, also known as co-marketing, is a marketing

collaboration between brands where they partner up on a marketing campaign and share

the results. It's a great lead generation tool that allows brands to tap into an audience they

may not have reached yet. For it to work, brands must align on their goals, have products

or services that complementary and have similar user personas.

• Customer (Retain) Marketing:

In contrast to acquisition marketing where the focus is on acquiring new

customers, customer marketing is focusing on retaining your existing customers.

• Proximity marketing:

Proximity marketing is a local and highly targeted marketing strategy that

uses users' location to show them relevant product or service promotions. For instance, if

you're walking by an ice cream shop, you may receive a notification of a special discount

for a flavor at that shop.

• Event Marketing:

It requires brands to plan a promotion strategy, develop creative assets

to create anticipation, and determine the right channels to spread awareness. An event –

whether it's a workshop, seminar, trade show, conference, or pop-up shop – helps brands

connect directly with their target audience and build lasting relationships.

• Global marketing:

Global marketing is the process of scaling your marketing efforts to

appeal to global audiences. However, it does require lots of research to determine where

a product or service may best resonate and how to market it to reach business goals.Take,

for instance, a food company based in Germany. If the team decides to expand to the United

States, there may be changes in menu items, packaging, pricing and advertising to better

reflect the audience.

• Cause Marketing:

With cause marketing, brands tie themselves to social issues while

promoting their goods. For instance, your favorite brand may advertise that a purchase

from their brand will result in a donation to a certain charity.

• Controversial marketing:

Controversial marketing uses controversial topics to drive attention to

marketing campaigns. It doesn't aim to polarize audiences, but rather grab their attention

and spark discussions.

• Field Marketing:

Field marketing, a.k.a field selling, is a traditional form of marketing that

involves going out to promote your products or services directly to your target audience.

You can do this by distributing product samples, offering product demos in a community.
