An Ear for Social Media

The reasons why Netflix know how innovate and adapt while continuing to keep their audience happy is that they know how to communicate with their followers with what they want and like. In even the inbound marketing scheme, your audience is the key to its stability and growth. Netflix was smart enough to partner with Deeplocal to help them communicate with their audience better. The best way to keep your followers engaged and happy is to actually survey and listen to what they do have to say. Their input and feedback is crucial for how you can improve your content.

Quality over Quantity

We all know Social Media is also a follower by follower based platform, and numbers is an important metric on how well you’re doing. However, it doesn’t mean that you should only focus on that solely. Netflix has actually proven this and has diverted their efforts to more quality over quantity. They did start out as a video streaming service that churns out video after video but with no real substance at its core. They’ve learned from that humble beginnings and have grown to a more quality-based service. This is the reason why their content is so successful and engaging. They know people are willing to wait and endure if they know the quality is good. The fact is that good quality content will always equal to better inbound marketing growth overall.
