In an era where attention is a commodity, brands will continue to compete with one another to ensure that their voice is heard. With constant competition with one another, how do you ensure your brand recall?
The answer to that is simple: lead nurturing!
Back to basics: What are leads?
Leads are potential customers who have expressed some form of interest in your product(s) and/or service(s).
Since leads have shown some form of interest in your products and/or services, they have a higher likelihood of purchasing your products or engaging with your services. So, how do we fish for their attention to get them to start thinking of making their purchase?
Much like an interaction between friends, it is also important for brands to constantly communicate with prospects or they’ll be forgotten. However, constant communication with the intention to convert may be off-putting and expensive, and may even damage your brand’s reputation with your prospects.
So, how do you interact with your prospects constantly, but also non-intrusively to get them to believe that your products or services will add value to their lives?
