A sales funnel is only as good as its conversions — and nothing gets your prospects closer to saying "yes" than an irresistible offer. But crafting one isn't always easy. It takes positioning and messaging that resonates with your audience to make an offer they can't refuse.
If you want to get your offers in front of the right audience at the right time, you'll need to think about each stage of your funnel and craft the perfect offer for each. For each stage of your funnel, you'll need to consider how much risk you want your audience to take — and how to nudge them toward taking it.
To start, you'll want to create a cold email offer that is both irresistible and relevant to your target audience. Cold emails aren't just for generating leads — they can also be used to re-engage existing customers and drive repeat purchases. To do this, you'll need to understand what your audience wants from your product or service and how it solves their pain points.
For example, if you're a wellness coach, your offer might include personalized programs that teach busy professionals how to manage stress and increase productivity — helping them find balance in their lives and boost confidence. You might use a discount code or an early bird special to further drive your audience's interest in the offer.
Once you've nailed your cold email, the next step is to build on it by creating an irresistible e-commerce offer. This is where leveraging psychology and structure can be particularly helpful, as it will reduce the risks involved in your offer and increase the likelihood of it being accepted. For example, you could highlight the fact that your product has a money-back guarantee to ease concerns over purchase decisions.
You'll also want to highlight any additional value that your offering provides, such as free shipping or an exclusive bonus with the first sale. This will help you stand out from competitors and encourage your audience to act quickly before the opportunity passes them by.
The next stage is the retention phase, which involves keeping your customers happy and increasing loyalty to your brand. This is where loyalty programs, exclusive content and one-of-a-kind discounts can really come in handy. You can further entice your existing audience to take action by using behavioral targeting to personalize your offers and show them only to those most likely to convert.
To make your offers truly irresistible, you'll need to incorporate key elements like value, exclusivity and urgency. By carefully thinking about these aspects of your offers, you'll be able to craft compelling deals that are impossible for your customers to resist.
