The Hourglass Model
Forget those outdated marketing funnels.
Use The Hourglass Model instead:
It takes your customers beyond conversion, turning them into loyal advocates.
Here’s how I’ve used it to drive results for my clients:
1. Awareness:
↳ Capture attention by reaching the right audience.
↳ Use targeted content to make the brand visible.
Examples: Eye-catching social media ads, blog posts that solve common problems, SEO-optimized content, and viral-style videos.
2. Interest:
↳ Retain their attention with relevant content.
↳ Show why we’re different and build credibility.
Examples: In-depth guides, how-to videos, email newsletters with useful tips, and infographics that highlight solutions.
3. Consideration:
↳ Prove we understand their problems.
↳ Build trust by showcasing real results and expertise.
Examples: Case studies, client testimonials, product demos, comparison guides, and success stories.
4. Adoption:
↳ Make it easy to say "yes."
↳ Remove friction and make the process seamless.
Examples: Landing pages with a single offer, free trials, limited-time offers, personalized consultations, and product tours.
5. Retention:
↳ Stay connected after the sale.
↳ Check-in, offer ongoing value, and keep them engaged.
Examples: Exclusive discounts, “thank you” emails, loyalty programs, client-only webinars, and regular check-in emails.
6. Advocacy:
↳ Turn satisfied clients into advocates.
↳ They spread the word and drive new business naturally.
Examples: Referral programs, social media shout-outs, user-generated content campaigns, and customer reviews.
Couldn't fit every step, but you get the idea!
This model goes beyond the sale.
It creates a process that turns leads into loyal fans.
