CONTENT  MARKETING  

A digital marketing funnel is created the same way as a traditional marketing funnel. Take, for example, HubSpot’s Inbound Marketing strategy. The number of people (and time spent) on the Internet rivals the averages of any mass media channel.

The promoters become the evangelists driving greater awareness for new customers through a social media or loyalty program.

When integrating digital with traditional advertising, you create a powerful dynamic.

A strong digital presence allows the other channels to do what they do best, without having to carry the entire marketing load.

For example, this allows broad awareness (branding) campaigns at the top of the funnel to be emotionally compelling. They can drive potential leads to a rational/logical experience on the web where they are eventually closed at the bottom of the funnel.

What this means to you.  

Branding: Top

Event Marketing: Top and middle

Direct Response Marketing: Bottom

Word-of-Mouth Marketing: Middle and loyalty

Social Media Marketing: Any, but best in the middle and loyalty

Content Marketing: Top, middle and loyalty

Mobile Marketing: Any (after mobile payment is widely adopted)

PPC (AdWords) Marketing: Bottom

Awareness Consideration Purchase  

At different phases of the customer journey, different channels are more effective. Traditional marketing first makes up 39% of a buying decision and then falls to 22% by the time the purchase is made.  

- Google  

Awareness Consideration Purchase  

Research/Word-of-mouth/Reviews make up 37% during consideration and only falls to 31% during the purchase.
