Digital Marketing Strategy

Building a compelling lifestyle brand is vital in this space. It’s not about just getting a picture of your label in front of your audience. Instead, you must understand who your audience is and how your product fits within their lifestyle and day.

Top of Funnel

At the top of the funnel, we recommend creating an engaging, highly visual content strategy. Also, in this space, engaging with your audience is critical to expanding your network and reach. Content marketing can also come into play in this area; some examples include recipes, video marketing, and storytelling.

Middle of Funnel

When a customer is on their path to purchase, one of the best things you can provide content that helps with the comparison. Also, this is a great time to give a call to action that can help move them down the funnel, such as signing up for emails.

Bottom of Funnel

At the bottom of the funnel, it’s time to push your audience towards the ultimate KPI. Whether it’s making sure it’s easy to locate a physical location or an incentive to purchase, this is when you cash in on all the work you’ve done on the full funnel.
