What is Pull Marketing?
Pull marketing is best for when you want to draw consumers to your product. The goal is to create loyal customers by providing marketing materials that showcase what they’re looking for.
In the age of consumers educating themselves on products and services, pull marketing has become vital to markets with heavy saturation, like new apps or clothing companies. Pull marketing shows how you are unique as a brand.
Pull Strategy Examples
(1) SEO
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a strategy that allows you to get your content, web pages, and more in front of the people who are searching for relevant keywords, phrases, and terms.
When you optimize your web pages and other content for those search terms your target audience is actively looking for, your marketing materials and web pages will appear in front of them organically. This is a great way to naturally get in front of your target audience and buyer without feeling pushy while also increasing brand awareness.
(2) Social Media Marketing
Disregarding social media paid ads, as mentioned in the push strategy section above, there are a number of ways you can use social media marketing as a form of pull marketing. This includes how-to videos, beautiful images and videos of your product, and co-marketing campaigns on social media.
Besides that, influencer content is also one of the effective social media marketing. In today’s digital world, social content creators with niche audiences can often offer more value to brands. These people have dedicated and engaged groups of followers on social media. So, hire an influencer sharing a demo on how they use your product to attract more consumers.
(3) Blogs
Blogging is an effective way of educating your target audience and providing them with the knowledge they need to make informed buying decisions, understand how to use and apply your product or service, or gain insight into changes in an industry, product updates, etc.
When you search engine optimize your blog content, it appears in front of your target audience organically on search engines like Google, automatically increasing the number of people who see and interact with your content as well as improving brand awareness and more.
Conclusion
Overall, the use of the pull marketing strategy can be of great benefit to businesses. Although your business will have to work at generating conversions, this method is a great way of persuading consumers to view your products, build brand recognition and awareness while developing a loyal audience who understand your company identity.
