Follow along!<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Flywheel Marketing?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In principle, it is a customer-centered approach that aims to create a continuous cycle of sustainable growth for companies. Inspired by the physical concept of the flywheel, Flywheel Marketing was created by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2018\/11\/replacing-the-sales-funnel-with-the-sales-flywheel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James Watt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and popularized by HubSpot as an evolution of traditional Inbound Marketing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cmlo.co\/en\/marketing-digital\/inbound-marketing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbound Marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> focuses on attracting, converting and delighting customers, Flywheel Marketing goes further, also integrating the stages of engaging and delighting existing customers to drive exponential business growth.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea behind the strategy is to create a fluid and continuous experience for the customer, where every positive interaction drives them further along the buying cycle and beyond. This is achieved by providing relevant and personalized content, exceptional shopping experiences and a continuous focus on customer success.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do the stages of Flywheel Marketing work?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new inbound marketing operates in three main stages, which feed and drive each other to create a cycle of continuous growth:<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attraction<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first stage, the focus is on attracting potential customers through valuable content and SEO strategies, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cmlo.co\/en\/social\/melhores-redes-sociais\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and other inbound marketing tactics.

The aim is to convert these leads into satisfied and engaged customers.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enchantment and retention<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After conversion, the focus shifts to delighting and retaining existing customers, offering exceptional support, memorable shopping experiences and ongoing engagement opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim is to turn customers into enthusiastic brand promoters who are willing to share their positive experience with others.<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_15561\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15561\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15561 size-full\" title=\"How do the stages of Flywheel Marketing work?\" src=\"https:\/\/cmlo.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/6512e1c8c40cb2981e539017_flywheel-02.png\" alt=\"Como funcionam as etapas do Flywheel Marketing?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cmlo.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/6512e1c8c40cb2981e539017_flywheel-02.png 1200w, https:\/\/cmlo.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/6512e1c8c40cb2981e539017_flywheel-02-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/cmlo.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/6512e1c8c40cb2981e539017_flywheel-02-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/cmlo.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/6512e1c8c40cb2981e539017_flywheel-02-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/cmlo.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/6512e1c8c40cb2981e539017_flywheel-02-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How do the stages of Flywheel Marketing work?<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/g4educacao.com\/portal\/flywheel-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G4 Education<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Differences between Flywheel Marketing and Inbound Marketing<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Flywheel Marketing is considered an evolution of Inbound Marketing, there are some key differences between these approaches:<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer focus<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Inbound Marketing has a primary focus on lead generation and conversions, Flywheel goes further, putting the customer at the center of all marketing and sales activities.
