Our Marketing Term of the Week
Whether it be a whitepaper, video, downloadable, coupon code, or report that brings a lead to your landing page, you’re using something called a lead magnet to do it.
A lead magnet is an incentive you offer to a potential customer to get something from them in exchange. Using a term like this to describe an initiative you’re proposing to your client can garner more confidence in your suggested strategy.
Join us on Monday’s to hear what brands are ‘sparqing’ our creativity, how algorithms have changed, and the bullet points on what you need to change in your marketing strategy to get your clients the best return on their investment.
