HMBT #292: Before the Funnel

In this episode, Hank and Bolaji discuss effective demand generation strategies where they emphasize the importance of understanding audience needs, creating engaging content, and fostering brand affinity before guiding potential customers into the marketing funnel.

Highlights:

πŸŽ™οΈ Engaging Content: Craft content that resonates with the audience, placing them at the center of the narrative.

πŸ› οΈ Solve Pain Points: Businesses should focus on providing immediate solutions to urgent problems (painkillers) rather than just general benefits (vitamins).

πŸ“£ Memorable Messaging: Using humor and catchy phrases can enhance brand recall, as shown with examples like Crazy Kevin Powell.

πŸ” Understanding the Market: It’s crucial to identify when potential customers are ready to engage, rather than pushing them prematurely into the funnel.
