Funnel and tactic flow management in Digital First AI is your marketing game plan! It’s where you lay out your moves. That is, tactics. Your marketing playbooks.

You move and complete them across various stages of customer journey: awareness, consideration, conversion, and loyalty.

Each move you make leads prospects smoothly from just hearing about you all the way to becoming loyal fans.

But, theory alone didn't lead David Ogilvy to discover the power of the headline. πŸ˜‰ He had to create ads that sold like hotcakes too.

So, let's see how funnel and tactic flow management works in practice!


Heads-up: If you're not quite sure how to create funnels and what funnels are πŸ‘ˆ see that guide.

Funnel stages

The Tactic Library contains over 370 ready-to-use, step-by-step marketing tactics. Digital First AI recommends them to you automatically. You can also choose your own hand-picked tactics to the funnel.

Each time you add a tactic, you can decide which stage of the funnel you'd like to add it to. You can choose one or multiple stages:

In each funnel, in the Funnel tab, you'll see four stages of the customer journey (making prospects aware of your product to purchasing and beyond). Let's look at them:

Awareness

πŸ“’ At this stage, the goal is to make potential customers aware of your brand, product, service. Tactics here should focus on reaching the audience and making a strong first impression.

Tactics could include Promoting Your Product with Instagram - using popular platforms to increase product visibility, SEO Organic Traffic Calculator to measure your potential reach, or Content Creation For Website Using AI for producing diverse and engaging content efficiently.

Consideration

πŸ’‘ Now, your audience knows you exist, but why should they care? This stage is all about showing the value of your product or service.

At this point, tactics such as Crafting Comparison Blogs that directly compare your offerings with competitors can highlight your unique value, Newsletter Prompts That Resonate will keep your audience engaged with valuable insights, and SEO / SEM Template can help you refine your search engine strategies.

Conversion

πŸ›’ This is where interested prospects become customers. The focus is on tactics that encourage taking action: whether making a purchase, signing up for a trial, or contacting sales!

Some tactics you might use are Email Marketing Prompts to Boost Engagement, guiding leads towards making a purchase, or Landing Page Prompts That Work to optimize landing pages for conversions.

Loyalty

πŸ”„ After the sale, the journey isn't over. Now, you aim to turn customers into repeat buyers and advocates for your brand!

For this, tactics like Collecting Video Testimonials can add a personal touch and build brand advocacy or Affiliate Marketing Prompts Explored, encouraging customers to refer others in exchange for rewards.

Duplicating tactics

It's flexible, so a single tactic might apply to more than one stage. Depending on your approach. Just duplicate a specific tactic, and move the duplicated tactic to another funnel:

Why move tactics between stages?

  • πŸ”„ Say an in-depth guide is in the consideration stage, but you notice it can also boosts loyalty by educating existing customers. You can easily repurpose this content, and maximize its value!

  • πŸ› οΈ Moving tactics helps you see which stages need more support and which are performing well. You can then better allocate your resources.

  • 🎯 If a tactic like a webinar is initially set for awareness but you find it's really effective at driving conversions, you can shift its focus.


Tactic flow (linking tactics together)

You can also link tactics together, creating a flow between them. This is like connecting the dots in a larger picture, turning individual tactics and action into a story.

You visualize how to guide prospects from discovering your brand to making purchasesβ€”by creating a customer journey!

  1. Look for the arrow on the left-hand side and click it:
