There are many versions of the funnel, but we\u2019ll be sticking to the most simple one here.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each stage of the marketing funnel requires a different focus because the specific needs of your prospect can vary between stages, even while their overarching need for print remains the same. Knowing which stage they\u2019re in helps you sell your printing services more effectively. We&#8217;re going to jump into each stage of the funnel to help you identify where your potential clients are at and learn how to streamline them into placing their first print order with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Awareness<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your client is most likely at the awareness stage of the marketing funnel if they are&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2610 Just starting to interact with your business<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2610 Not very familiar yet with the products you offer<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2610 Asking general questions about your printing services<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2610 In need of more information before making any decisions<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> Jane has just walked into Bob\u2019s Print Shop.
