400;\">In the classic marketing funnel, we lead customer prospects from general awareness (learning about your company) through interest (being interested in your company), to a desire to purchase, through a final sale. This is the process you\u2019ve followed for every product or service you\u2019ve ever bought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19713\" src=\"http:\/\/mediashower.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-4.jpg\" alt=\"sales funnel \" width=\"780\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediashower.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-4.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediashower.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-4-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top-of-funnel content is the first touchpoint in a buyer&#8217;s journey: it helps create brand awareness and spark interest among potential customers. Think of it like casting a wide net: TOF content is typically informative but widespread\u2013covering social media, organic web content, and big-picture content about your product or industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Marketer&#8217;s takeaway:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Since it\u2019s the customer\u2019s first engagement with your brand, it\u2019s important to focus on a broad scope of engagement rather than demanding a purchase or sale. As such, you can think of TOF content as a \u201cweb\u201d where different assets support one another while driving customers further down the funnel.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a whitepaper may have an extensive social media advertising campaign and a spin-off infographic. These are all TOF content, and they can all support and link to each other.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s Considered &#8220;Top of Funnel&#8221;?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think brand awareness content, and focus on being informative rather than sales-centric.
