You’ve probably heard that the key to successful marketing is reaching customers where they are. But in our digital age, what does that concept truly entail?
Instead of focusing on a single customer lifecycle stage, implement a full-funnel marketing approach to deliver the right content to the right people throughout the buying journey. It’s proven to help companies generate a 45% higher ROI and a 7% increase in offline sales compared with campaigns focusing only on a single buying stage.
Let’s explore this marketing approach and how it can benefit your business.
Full-funnel marketing is a comprehensive marketing strategy that addresses all the channels through which a brand interacts with its customers. It helps build brand awareness, increase engagement, nurture relationships, and drive conversions.
Instead of focusing solely on sales, the holistic approach considers the 360-degree customer experience. It involves various components, such as:
• Dedicated campaigns to foster relationships with prospects and customers.
• Marketing messages tailored to each customer lifecycle stage.
• Content, offers, or interactions designed to progress prospects to the next stage.
• Multiple touchpoints and options for customers to interact with your brand.
A full-funnel marketing strategy should address these three customer lifecycle stages:
At this initial stage, potential customers are identifying their challenges but are unaware of your solutions. To capture their attention, create compelling and engaging content. Utilize search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, native advertising, and social influencer collaborations to spread the word.
Measure your success through metrics like impression, clicks and cost per acquisition (CPA).
Tip: Your content should focus on sharing valuable and relevant content and interacting with your prospects.
As your potential customers move deeper into the funnel, they seek detailed information about your offerings. Build trust with your audience by sharing relevant content like guides, webinars, reviews, and case studies. In this stage, email marketing campaigns, targeted social media ads, banner ads and sponsored post can effectively nurture leads.
Tracking leads generated, click-through rate (CTR), page visits, and time spent on the site can help measure success and optimize strategies for growth.
Tip: Your content should focus on showing how your products can solve your audience’s problems.
At this critical stage, potential customers are ready to make a decision. Offer social proof, personalized deals, and pre-sale support. Simplify the purchasing process to remove any obstacles. Implement retargeting ads, personalized email sequences, and live chat support on your website to guide customers toward making a purchase.
Monitor conversion rates, customer lifetime value, and cost per acquisition to gauge your success.
Tip: Your content should trigger an action – purchasing your products or services.
A full-funnel marketing approach helps you reach new audiences and build brand awareness. You can generate more leads and develop customer relationships by becoming more attuned to their needs. It also helps attract high-quality prospects to drive revenue and profits.
Additionally, you can develop a more accurate understanding of your audience and insights about the effectiveness of your marketing strategy by considering the big picture (i.e., the entire customer lifecycle journey) and measuring relevant metrics.
