Further by promoting themselves by supplying a free eGuide to the people who give their contact details is seriously a very good idea in promoting themselves in a cheaper and cost effective way.
Challenges can be cited in the ‘Strategy’ section, not in the ‘business objectives’ section. Hope other readers will agree with my observation.
Hi Nikita, this is yet another good example of effective integration of SEO, SEM and Inbound marketing. A strategic combination of all three can really help to boost deliverables and attain the desired ROI.
