Outbound Marketing

A proactive marketing strategy where businesses initiate contact with potential customers through tactics like cold calls, direct mail, TV/radio ads, email blasts, and display advertising. Rather than waiting for prospects to find them inbound marketing, companies use outbound tactics to actively deliver their messages to a broad audience—regardless of whether those individuals are actively seeking the product or service—with the goal of generating awareness, interest, and leads.
