🚰 Worse than a leaky faucet
Leaky marketing funnels seriously impact your customer retention and revenue.
Funnel leaks occur when customers don’t complete their consumer journey and drop off your brand at any point from the moment they view an ad to the post-purchase experience.
We don’t know any plumber who can fix these leaks for you, so it’s time to take action. 😉 Let's dive into the strategies and indicators to spot these leaks and fix them with finesse.
🤗 The landing zone
Your landing page from an ad is the red carpet for your product. 🎇
Potential customers who approach your brand should get all the information and tools they need to complete their purchase in just a few clicks.
If you see a high bounce rate or suspicious-looking heat maps on your landing page, shake things up and experiment with different page layouts to entice a purchase.
You could even switch up some navigational menu items on your website or landing page to give your consumers a better sense of control over their experience.
🛒 To add or not to add…to cart!
Are you finding potential customers dropping off at the ‘add-to-cart’ stage or during checkout?
Your checkout process might be too complicated or expensive. 🤷
❌ Do guests need to make an account before purchasing?
❌ Are unexpected costs lurking in the shadows of your checkout?
💡Are there shipping discounts that could sway a potential customer?
Being transparent about your pricing model and leveraging bundled product discounts can address these pain points to keep customers coming back for more.
