Consider the customer/marketing lifecycle and target your action to it: Acquire - Get your persuasive, introductory message out to as many of your prospective clients and customers as possible. Engage - Deliver a targeted, meaningful, message to the potential customers that attract them to you for more detailed information. Convert - Provide enough incentive, and a simplified process, and cause the potential customer to execute your preferred action. Retain - Ensure you delivered value as promised and your product/service has long-term value so they keep coming back.
Also known as Segmentation - The process of grouping your customers together into logical groups of similar characteristics or behaviours. Why do we segment our Customers? Different people will respond to different offers. Certain basic traits of your customers will provide hints on how best to approach them in nudging them toward conversion.
