This is one of the most basic marketing concepts, but how can we apply this to our brand strategy?
Each interaction with your audience is driving them closer to know, like, trust you which will eventually lead to sales.
Stage 1: Awareness - What gets awareness is logo, colours, fonts, personality, icons. the shiny stuff (branding), podcast, paid socials, pr, collabs, influencers. Make sure your visual branding and marketing channels are on point and in line with your brand strategy!
Stage 2: Consideration (brand) - Communicate more targeted propositions via more personal media. Potential channels: Website / Mailing list sign-up / Organic Social (Facebook /
Twitter / Instagram / LinkedIn) / Individual’s organic social (Twitter / LinkedIn) / Emails
Stage 3: Conversion (brand) - Create impactful experiences via more direct channels to an
already ‘warm’ audience. Turn being well thought of into sales.
Potential channels: Events / In-person connections such as Open Days /
Meeting / Presentation / Working/studying on-site / Alumni Forums
Stage 4: Relationship (brand) - Foster good relationships with your clients even after converting a sale. Ask them about their review or any suggestion to your product! Keep your line open for some good old-fashioned customer service!
Stage 5: Advocates (brand) - Advocacy is free marketing. Leverage your loyal clients and ride the wave of their testimonies and advocacy to further capitalize on marketing. Offer memberships and reward them for their advocacy by sending them freebies, loyalty gifts, or special discounts!
