Let’s talk about the old way first:

๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐๐ฅ “๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ”:
1) ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ : Casting a wide net to reach as many people as possible, irrespective of their current interest or intent.
2) ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ : Using generic messages aimed at a large audience in hopes of attracting potential leads.
3) ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฒ: Often results in wasted ad budget and lower conversion rates due to its lack of specificity.

Fast forward to the new approach:

1) ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ : Focuses on identifying and engaging consumers who have shown clear intent to make a purchase.

So, why is Intender-Based Marketing > Top-of-the-Funnel “Spray and Pray”?
1) ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐๐: Ensures that your content aligns with the recipient’s needs and interests.
2) ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ: Leads to higher engagement rates by reaching out to those already considering a purchase.
3) ๐๐ง๐ก๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐๐: Optimizes your marketing budget, leading to improved results and higher returns.
In a competitive market, shifting from the traditional “spray and pray” approach to a more strategic intender-based marketing plan is key to driving meaningful engagement and reaching business goals.
I suggest leveraging data analytics and behavioral insights to identify and target your intenders. This not only boosts efficiency but also fosters stronger connections with your potential customers, leading to long-term success.
