Up to half the people who first contact your business aren’t ready to buy yet. And by contact it could mean just a visit to your website without your knowledge. This is especially true if it is a discretionary spend project they have in mind or a large ticket item. Understanding the buyer’s journey is essential and creating an effective content strategy can keep the potential buyer closer to you and more likely to buy.
The buyer’s journey is often segmented into three stages: Top of the Funnel (TOFU), Middle of the Funnel (MOFU), and Bottom of the Funnel (BOFU). For trades businesses—such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or building services—tailoring content to these stages can significantly enhance the conversion rates for any leads. This guide outlines some content category ideas for each stage of the funnel to help you attract, engage, and convert prospects. For examples of what specific content material might suit your company at each of the customer journey stages, email me at andy@tradescoach.co.nz and I will help.
