🎯 What is a Marketing Funnel?

A Marketing Funnel is the journey that a customer takes from first hearing about your product → to finally buying it.

It’s called a "funnel" because many people enter, but only a few people reach the final step (purchase, signup, etc.).

Just like a real funnel — wide at the top, narrow at the bottom.

🛒 Typical Stages of a Marketing Funnel

🧠 Simple Example:

Imagine you sell running shoes online:

• Awareness: Someone sees your Google Ad "Top Running Shoes 2025."

• Interest: They click, read about your shoe features.

• Consideration: They check 2–3 other brands too.

• Intent: They add your shoes to the cart.

• Purchase: They buy the shoes.

• Loyalty: Later, they recommend you to friends.

👉 Your marketing job is to guide people smoothly through each stage.

📈 Why is the Funnel Important?

• You can create different marketing strategies for different stages.

• Example: 

1. Awareness: Run broad ads to introduce your brand.
2. Consideration: Retarget users who visited your website but didn’t buy.
3. Purchase: Give discounts or offers.
4. Loyalty: Send thank-you emails or loyalty points.

👉 Without understanding the funnel, you’ll waste money — because you’ll try to sell to people who aren’t ready yet.
