This is due to them having to use various marketing techniques to attract quality leads. Some of the ways in which companies generate leads are as follows.

Social Media & Influencer Marketing

Probably the most used and most effective way of generating leads in today’s world is through social media platforms. With almost 3 BILLION people using some form of social media, the potential audience is vast.

Utilising platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn to promote your business. Use engaging content, or Facebook ads means customers can engage with you on a more social level.

Influencers? Yes influencers, you know them people who wear your favourite item, or personally endorse items to their millions of followers. Someone with a modest following, wearing or talking about a product can generate huge interest.

It is very easy to track its success as well. Giving an influencer a code to use, can create a report on where the interest has come from.

Pay Per Click (PPC)

PPC is a great way to generate traffic to a website or product destination. PPC works where by a company will pay for everytime their designated advert is clicked on.

For example you pay £5 for every time you advert is clicked on, however for ever £5 you make a sale for £500. Seems like a pretty good business really doesn’t it? It also puts the product or service in front of them in an engaging way.

Email Marketing

One of the old guard. Email marketing still exists, but with the vast amount of spam mail people receive, the open rate on marketing emails are decreasing. Also, a database is required to be able to reach your audience. This could pose an issue if your market is very niche.However for its criticisms it is still effective.

Telesales

The days of cold calling still exists. How many times do you receive a call offering a product or service? Probably at least 4 times a week.This process can take a while.

You would make 100 calls and out of that find 10% of the people are interested. However, gaining leads from this source can be beneficial due to it being qualified directly via the phone.
