Crafting Digital Success with Layered Marketing
We are constantly using digital technology to check email, look at the weather, read online articles and scroll through social media, often while the TV plays in the background. To effectively reach customers in this noisy environment, it’s crucial to layer a variety of marketing tactics.
Intensifying your marketing strategies with diverse methods significantly enhances your prospects of achieving success. When you leverage multiple platforms that most people engage with daily, you can effectively connect with and captivate your target audience.
Understand The Customer Journey
There are five “customer journey” stages a customer walks through when deciding to engage with your business — whether as a newcomer or loyal customer. Stay top of mind — layered marketing uses certain proven tactics to resonate with audiences by adapting the messaging to fit each one.
AWARENESS: You guide individuals from the initial “Who are they?” stage to the “Oh, I remember seeing their ads!” phase when they realize they need you.
REACH: When a customer is searching for your business, how easily do you show up? They’re thinking about you and starting to trust you.
ATTRACT: Does your content inspire the customer to take the next step? At this point, they have taken time to research and reflect.
CONVERT: The customer feels comfortable choosing you.
ENGAGE: The customer has chosen you, now you keep them coming back and spreading the word to others
