Key Takeaways

  • Branding and Competitor Awareness: It's vital to have complete control over your brand and a keen understanding of your competition. This includes optimizing paid ads to emphasize brand uniqueness, while also taking into consideration the competitive landscape. Tailoring ad strategies based on this can improve market position and ensure efficient use of resources.

  • Early Stage Demand Harvesting and Segmenting Strategy: Recognizing the potential in early-stage demand and making strategic efforts to harvest it can lead to significant ROI. At the same time, it's important to segment your plan into two main streams - brand and demand. While brand marketing aims at increasing visibility and reputation, demand marketing is about creating a desire for the product or service.

  • Middle Funnel Importance and Quality Leads: Display ads have a key role in the middle of the funnel, helping to nurture potential leads. Furthermore, it's okay if quality leads are not immediately ready to make a purchase. These prospects may require additional nurturing, but their potential long-term value is high. Patience and an understanding of the customer's journey can lead to significant gains in the long run.
