Why Understanding the Customer Journey Matters
Imagine that you have a great product, but people don’t buy it immediately. They first need to know about it, consider its value, and feel confident in their decision. Even after they buy, keeping them engaged ensures they return and recommend your brand to others.
This is where the Marketing Funnel comes in.
Originally developed by Elias St. Elmo Lewis in 1898 as the AIDA model (refer to AIDMA model), the marketing funnel has evolved into a five-stage journey: Awareness, Consideration, Purchase, Retention, and Referral.
Many businesses struggle with converting leads into loyal customers because they lack a clear strategy for each stage. Email marketing is a powerful tool that can guide potential buyers through this journey, ensuring they receive the right message at the right time.
