CUSTOMER ACQUISITION MEASUREMENT
Marketing Funnel
A marketing funnel is a model that groups audience progression into stages such as awareness, consideration and purchase. It helps organize measures and actions, but actual customer journeys can loop, pause or skip stages.
MARKETING FUNNEL IN PRACTICE
- Define the stagesChoose observable events and populations.
- Measure the transitionsUse consistent cohorts and time windows.
- Improve the experienceInvestigate drop-off and service constraints.
Use the agreed units, actual records and approved procedures for your operation.
A WORKED EXAMPLE
More enquiries do not always mean more viable customers.
A logistics campaign increases form submissions. The team follows those enquiries through qualification and actual business outcomes rather than declaring success from the first-stage count alone.
