Funneling

Funneling is the process of guiding potential customers through a series of steps that lead them to take a specific action, like buying a product, signing up for a service, or contacting you. It's called a funnel because it starts with a lot of people at the top and narrows down to those who take the final step.

  • Awareness: People first learn about your business through ads, social media, or search engines.
  • Interest: They show interest by visiting your website, reading your content, or engaging with your brand.
  • Decision: They consider your offerings and compare them to others before deciding if they want to move forward.
  • Action: They complete the goal, like making a purchase or reaching out to you.

To-Know

E-commerce isn't a perfect fit for every business. It works best for those companies who are ready to invest in the long-run. The website should be easy for customers to use, safe to shop on, and show up in Google searches. These types of sites are a bit more involved than simple websites, but if done right, they work really well. Success comes down to making the site look good, work smoothly, and getting the word out through smart marketing. Overall, online sales is an effective method for businesses of any size to grow, but success comes down to good planning, smart decisions and of course, investment.
