Consideration: The Second Stage of the Customer Journey
Consideration is when the consumer tries to delve deeper into the search for solutions to a problem. This is when you, the merchant, must capture their email and thus convert them from an anonymous visitor to a known contact. Merely illustrative photo: @creativeart

Weekly Series: Salesperson's October

Hello, e-Plus Agency blog reader , how are you? This post you are reading now is part of a weekly series in celebration of Salesperson's Day (1) and Advertising Professional's Day (17) in October 2024. There are 4 posts in total, one per week. Check it out:

  1. Awareness: the first stage of the Customer Journey
  2. Consideration: The Second Stage of the Customer Journey
  3. Intent: the third stage of the Customer Journey
  4. Decision: the fourth stage of the Customer Journey

Consideration, like the other stages of the Journey, connects to Inbound Marketing. In fact, Inbound is a marketing strategy that aims to publish content for the Customer Journey. Learn more below!

CONSIDERATION AND ITS CORRESPONDENT IN INBOUND MARKETING: CONVERSION

Namely, Inbound Marketing, like the Customer Journey, has 4 phases, which are:

  1. Attraction;
  2. Conversion;
  3. Relationship;
  4. Enchantment.

However, the stages of the Customer Journey refer to customer actions. In contrast, the stages of Inbound Marketing concern the actions you, as a marketer, should take. In other words, while consumers are searching for solutions, it's your role to provide those solutions to them, but first you must register them. So, if consumers are considering delving deeper into the subject, you must convert them into leads first and then provide them with the information they need. Learn how to do this next!

INBOUND TACTICS: CONVERSION CONTENT FOR THE CONSIDERATION PHASE

In the first article of this series, we told the fictional story of Verdevaldo. If you don't remember, his goal was to raise awareness about a home security problem. That's how he ended up finding an article on his blog about the subject through Google.

So, he's already gone through the Awareness phase of the Customer Journey; and you've already applied the Attraction phase of Inbound Marketing. Now, the blog article you wrote has impacted Verdevaldo in a way he didn't expect.

the tactic

Your post is so interesting that Verdevaldo was encouraged to delve deeper into the blog and learn more about your brand . While doing so, he comes across a proposal you left at the end of some of the articles.

In this proposal, you offer a complete e-book on Home Security for free in exchange for Verdevaldo's name and email address . Verdevaldo, who was previously a stranger to you, has over 150 pages of high-quality e-book , provides information on various security devices, offers installation services, etc., so Verdevaldo can't resist, enters his email in the form, and downloads it . Other consumers on the same journey do the same. At this point, they've gone from being just blog visitors to becoming leads , that is, contacts. You've just applied the Conversion phase, and your leads are now in the Consideration phase. Next week we'll publish a new chapter of this Customer Journey. Stay tuned!
