Outbound Marketing is a traditional marketing approach where businesses initiate contact with prospects through channels like cold emails, ads, direct mail, or sales calls. It contrasts with inbound strategies, which aim to attract leads through valuable content.
In B2B SaaS, outbound is often used for targeting high-value accounts in ABM (Account-Based Marketing) or for jumpstarting pipeline growth.
Example:
A SaaS startup might send personalized LinkedIn messages to decision-makers in target accounts, inviting them to book a discovery call.
