6. Interest
If your activity at the brand awareness stage was the fun stuff, now is
the time to reign it in and be more tailored and professional.
•Offer discounts
•Be exclusive
•Talk directly to people
•Use existing customers
to support this
8. Action
This is where the customer takes action and if all the stages before have been
met then all you have to do is sit back and watch.
HOWEVER
That would be a wasted opportunity. Get them to share their information
about their purchase, sign up friends or recommend to others.
Not all action is monetary.
