“Not all potenital buyers are at the same level of the buying cycle. Some are trying to understand their need, some are trying to qualify you as a vendor, and some will be ready to work with you.”
One of the first steps in the development of an Inbound Marketing GamePlan is to develop your buyer personas. The next part is to develop a strategy of attracting each of one of those buyer personas. And lastly, you have to capture each of those buyer personas at the various levels of their buying process.
What does this mean? It means you need to have a lot of different offers on your website. Generating attractive offers means more chances that a potential customer will find value in your website and convert to a lead.
What’s an Offer?
An offer is a piece of content or exchange of service that is attractive to a potential customer. This could be an ebook, whitepaper, webinar, service demo, consultation, or a variety of other things. At IMPACT, you’ll notice our website is flooded with quality ebooks (like this one), webinars, and consultation offers. Why create all of these offers? Slow down… we’re getting there!
