Marketing Strategy Terms Explained Simply
These common terms explain how a marketing strategy connects your customers, your activities and your business goals.
Target Audience & Buyer Personas
Your target audience is the group you want to reach. Buyer personas describe typical customers, helping you understand their needs and shape your messaging.
Customer Journey & Marketing Funnel
The customer journey covers someone’s experience with your business. A marketing funnel groups the steps from discovering your offer to enquiring or buying.
Segmentation
Dividing your audience into groups with shared needs or characteristics, so you can deliver more relevant messages and offers.
Content & Email Marketing
Useful content answers questions and builds confidence. Email marketing maintains contact with subscribers and customers through relevant information and offers.
SEO & Paid Advertising
SEO improves visibility in unpaid search results. Paid advertising puts your message in front of selected audiences, with PPC charging when someone clicks.
Social Media Marketing
Using social platforms to introduce your business, share useful content and promote your products or services through posts and advertising.
Landing Pages & Calls to Action
A landing page is where someone arrives after clicking a link or ad. A call to action makes the next step clear, such as enquiring, booking or buying.
Lead Generation & Conversion Rate
Lead generation attracts potential customers and encourages enquiries. Conversion rate measures the percentage of visitors who complete a chosen action.
Analytics & KPIs
Analytics shows how people interact with your marketing. Key performance indicators are the measures you use to assess progress towards your goals.
A/B Testing
Comparing two versions of a page or advert to find out which performs better against a chosen measure, such as enquiries or purchases.
Return on Investment (ROI)
Comparing the profit attributable to your marketing with its cost to assess whether your investment is worthwhile.
User Experience & Omnichannel Marketing
User experience concerns how easy your website is to use. Omnichannel marketing connects online and offline touchpoints so customers can move between them smoothly.
