3. Grabbing the consumer's attention is the
first step in any marketing campaign. This
can be achieved through eye-catching ads,
headlines, or compelling content.
Once attention is captured, the goal is to
pique the consumer's interest by
highlighting the product's benefits and
value.
Building desire involves convincing the
consumer that the product or service will
fulfill their needs or solve their problems.
Finally, the aim is to prompt the consumer
to take action, such as making a purchase,
signing up, or requesting more
information.
