“We found the Custom Branded Email to be a high-performing digital product. The unique open rate of 27.57% that we achieved was above industry benchmark. I would select the product again in future marketing campaigns to amplify event presence. Working with the Smartcore team was great and included a comprehensive follow-up report to assess performance. We were able to use a variety of digital products to create a compelling package with consistent messaging across touchpoints.”

The Digital Marketing & Sales Funnel
What is a Digital Sales & Marketing funnel?
The funnel visualises a buyer’s journey from when they first become aware of your brand to when they purchase your product or service, and beyond to include retention. Each stage of the funnel helps to attract new prospects and convert them to leads and then customers, while tracking the performance of your campaigns. More and more ingredients buyers are researching ingredients online before reaching out to sales representatives to place an order. It’s time to evolve to meet this trend.
Top of Funnel
This is the brand visibility and awareness stage. Some of the Smartcore products that can help you achieve this are: Online Display Ads, Email Newsletter Ads & Interactive Infographics.
Middle of Funnel
At the middle of funnel, the focus is on capturing and nurturing leads. Some products that can help you achieve this include: Targeted Ads and Premium Profile on Ingredients Network.
Bottom of Funnel
This is the stage focused on purchase, i.e. converting your lead to a customer, and then retaining them. The most effective products that can help you achieve this are the Webinar Sponsorship, the Custom Webinar and Custom Report.
