MARKETING & SALES

This page is your resource for how to market and sell your services and products.

THE FOUR STAGES OF THE MARKETING FUNNEL

  • Brand awareness is familiarity with a brand, which could include knowledge of its name, messaging, tone and style, values and culture.

  • The goal of consideration is to increase the likelihood that consumers will consider a certain brand and its products when shopping for services and products.

  • The goal of the conversion stage is to encourage shoppers to purchase a product or service because they believe the brand they’ve chosen is the right solution to their problem.

  • Practitioners can foster loyalty by providing a seamless purchase experience and delivering a quality product or service.
