Think of McDonald’s golden arches, the name Jet Blue, and UPS’ slogan, “What can Brown do for you?” These companies, and many others, strategically use colors in their logo, website, and product to appeal to customers. As a B2B marketer , it’s important to think about how you utilize colors and what the colors you choose say about your business.

by Jason Miller Marketers often debate the merits of inbound marketing vs. outbound, but few discuss the added benefits you can achieve by combining both. A well rounded B2B marketing mix should include elements of both inbound and outbound marketing strategies. Combining the two can multiply the number of views you generate, dramatically increase sharing, and ultimately increase the number of potential customers who see your content.
