Awareness.
In the earliest stage of the funnel, your goal is to let your consumers know that your product exists. To promote your product, you can use high-volume, low-converting terms such as “shoes,” “computers,” and “smartphones.”
-
Search.
In the second stage, you want your consumers to start thinking about your product and how it’ll make their lives easier, as this is when consumers start searching for products. To entice your consumers, highlight your product’s benefits using captivating headlines. The headlines should use common terminologies, calls-to-action, and emotional appeal. Additionally, use description lines to showcase the features, and benefits of your product. This will give your consumers a better understanding of how your product will help them.
-
Evaluate.
In the third stage, you want to show detailed product specifications and features as this is when consumers want to compare different products. For instance, a searcher looking for a new pair of runners would start learning about different brands and assessing their differences. To encourage consumers to look at our product, you want your ads to include your brand name and product type such as “Nike runners” and “Adidas runner shoes weight.”
-
Decide.
In the fourth stage, your consumers have decided on exactly what they’re going to buy but haven’t figured out where to purchase the product. To get consumers to buy the product from you, try displaying specific product part numbers or company names such as “Nike Free Flyknit+ 615805-713” to capture their attention.
-
Evangelize.
In the fifth and final stage, your want to retain your consumers and turn them into active users. To do so, try using retargeting ads to promote discounted products to existing customers. Examples of your ads would be “Buy one pair of Nike runners and get second 50% off!”
