The Digital Marketing & Sales Funnel

What is a Digital Sales & Marketing funnel?

The funnel visualises a buyer’s journey from when they first become aware of your brand to when they purchase your product or service, and beyond to include retention. Each stage of the funnel helps to attract new prospects and convert them to leads and then customers, while tracking the performance of your campaigns. More and more ingredients buyers are researching ingredients online before reaching out to sales representatives to place an order. It’s time to evolve to meet this trend.

Top of Funnel

This is the brand visibility and awareness stage. Some of the Smartcore products that can help you achieve this are: Online Display Ads, Email Newsletter Ads & Interactive Infographics.

Middle of Funnel

At the middle of funnel, the focus is on capturing and nurturing leads. Some products that can help you achieve this include: Targeted Ads and Premium Profile on Ingredients Network.

Bottom of Funnel

This is the stage focused on purchase, i.e. converting your lead to a customer, and then retaining them. The most effective products that can help you achieve this are the Webinar Sponsorship, the Custom Webinar and Custom Report.
