In this article, we are going to go over the concept of lead generation and how Google Remarketing campaigns help in generating more leads.

WHAT ARE LEADS?

Leads are potential customers. They are those individuals who are currently not actively engaged in buying your services/products. However, can very well turn into customers soon. Lead Generation refers to building a base of potential customers.

An example to explain the Concept of Leads and Lead Generation 

Suppose you want to sell a bicycle. You will put out a word for your product. And will hear back from those who are interested in buying your product – the bicycle. The interested ones that you hear back are not your customers. As you are not actively selling the bicycle to them. You are just gaining the number of people who you can make the sale to. This expands your prospects.

The concept of Leads is explained more in-depth in this article.

Some of those who reached back to you might be interested in a lesser degree than some other individual who too responded to you. This means leads found by an act of Lead Generation are on a spectrum.

This difference in interest can be classified into two broad categories – Hot and Cold leads. 

This classification can be best understood by picturing your product/service as a bonfire on a cold night.

  • those standing far from the bonfire but in the line of sight are cold leads. They can approach the bonfire (your product) if they wish to. But, for the time being, they are content with standing afar.
  • Those who are standing around the bonfire. These folks are more likely to be in need of getting the full warmth (hence the proximity). And with a little coaxing or invitation will come up right next to the pyre. 

People’s proximity to the product, i.e. immediate willingness to buy a product or service that you offer points towards their degree of “warm” and “cold”. The better you perform at the Lead Generation stage, the warmer leads you generate. The more you target warmer leads the better for you. You can do this via Google Remarketing.

Another set of leads exist and are known as Qualified Leads.

Qualified Leads are the warmest of leads. Circling back to the bicycle example a qualified lead would be the person who was actively looking for bicycles. And catching word of your bicycle piqued their interest. now they specifically want your product.
