Understanding the Marketing Funnel
The marketing funnel is a model that illustrates the theoretical customer journey towards the purchase of a product or service. In this calculator, we focus on three key stages:
- Awareness: This is the topmost stage of the funnel where potential customers first become aware of your product or service.
- Consideration: At this stage, potential customers are actively evaluating your offering and comparing it with alternatives. They're showing interest and intent to potentially make a purchase.
- Conversion: This is the bottom of the funnel where a prospect becomes a customer by making a purchase or completing the desired action.
Each stage of the funnel typically has fewer people than the previous one, as some potential customers drop off at each stage. The goal is to optimize each stage to move as many qualified leads as possible through to conversion.
Input Parameters
The total amount you plan to spend on this marketing campaign across all funnel stages.
The average revenue generated from each successful conversion or sale.
Cost per click for the initial awareness stage of your funnel. This is typically lower than later stages.
Cost per click for the consideration stage, typically higher than awareness as these are more qualified leads.
Cost per click for the final conversion stage, usually the highest CPC as these are highly qualified leads ready to convert.
Percentage of users who move from awareness to consideration stage. This reflects how effectively your awareness campaign generates interest.
Percentage of users who move from consideration to conversion stage. This reflects how well your marketing convinces interested prospects to make a purchase.
Percentage of users who complete the final conversion action. This is typically the smallest percentage but represents actual sales or desired actions.
Budget Allocation
Percentage of total budget allocated to the awareness stage. This is often the largest allocation to cast a wide net.
Percentage of total budget allocated to the consideration stage. This targets users who have shown initial interest.
Percentage of total budget allocated to the conversion stage. This targets users who are close to making a purchase decision.
