How Does A Marketing Funnel Work?

Image
Picture the wide top of a funnel. This is where a large number of people might become aware of your products or services. All these people are your leads, or potential customers. As they move through your funnel towards the much narrower neck, many will drop off. A much smaller number of leads will actually make it through the entire funnel. The purpose of the funnel is to convert as many leads as possible into actual customers who are willing to pay for your products or services. Traditional Sales Funnel The traditional sales funnel has three broad stages: Awareness – when a lead first discovers your brand Evaluation – when a qualified lead (or prospect) decides to find out whether your product or service is the right fit or not Purchase – when the prospect gathers the last bit of information they need before deciding to buy and becomes a customer (the stage every business wants to achieve!)

The AIDA Model Awareness – This is a stage when the prospect becomes aware of his problem or need and seeks possible ways to solve it. He can find your ad, blog post or social media post, and visit your website for the first time. Interest  – This is a stage when the prospect clearly understands his problem and looks for solutions.
