What does email look like through the buyer's journey?

Different content will appeal to different buyers at different stages of the buying process. For example, someone in the awareness stage of the buying process will be looking for more educational content versus someone in the decision stage who is looking for more information on making a purchase or speaking with sales.

Consideration Stage: Show off your product's features and benefits, include customer testimonials and offer a free trial.

Awareness Stage: Introduction of product or services and  educating the pros and cons.

Consideration Stage: Provide some value added points or benefits at large.

Decision Stage: Show brand values, customer relations and testimonials to build trust to try the company's product or services.

[MCox6]

Awareness: get to know your consumer and their needs by requesting information.

Consideration: Offer choices relevant to their needs.

Descision: Explain how products or services can meet the needs of clients.

[OObi8]

At the awareness stage, the product is advertised to buyer and the benefits and special packages involved are also made known to him/her.

At the consideration stage, the buyer decides whether the product suits his taste or not and then makes the important decision of buying the goods. 

At the decision stage, he/she finally decides to buy the goods and the benefits like discounts are given to him accordingly.

[AsherKabir]

At the awareness stage of the buyer's journey, our intent is to introduce a recipient to our product or service. An email at this stage can be an Introductory email, an educational email or an Invitation email to attend any live event or webinar. 

At Connsideration stage, buyer is already aware of the product or service but thinking about whether or not make a purchase. An email campaign at this stage would be

Case Studies, which shows how our product or service has helped our customers.

Comparison Results: It shows how our product and service is preferrable to other products or services in the same niche. 

Product Demo; Where a prospect can be invited to take a free trial of a product or services before making the purchase.

Delight or Decision Stage: At this stage our prospect is ready to make a purchase. An email campaign at this stage would focus on:

Special Discount: Which motivates the potential customer to go the purchase. 

Follow-up Email: If a potential customers has placed an item in one's cart, but not made a purchase yet them a follow-up email can be used to make him remind. 

Personalized Email: If a customer has placed an order, he has clearly shown his interest in a specific product or service. This interest can be used to send him customized tailored email regarding the same and upgraded version of a product. 

[TRaymond]

Awareness Stage: Welcome email and company & product introduction. (Brand awareness.)

Consideration Stage: Newsletter, Blog, white papers, videos, and testimonials from active customers. (Product's significance and effectiveness.)

Awareness Stage:

Hi Justin,

I noticed you are searching for a job. You are applying for a job but haven't received any responses, yet. I was thinking that you might reconsider your job search strategies. It's the digital era and so, just sending out your resumes isn't going to work.....

Consideration Stage:

Hi Justin,

I see you are figuring out ways to search for a job. To add further, consider managing content on LinkedIn and formatting your resume, based on the job description.......

Decision Stage:

Hi Justin,

To help you out with your job search, I could assist you with resume write-ups and content management. In fact, by applying my techniques, I gain 2 times more interaction and offers.  Also, I could provide you with a consultation offer.

Here is a hypothetical example of an email marketing campaign that could be used throughout the buyer's journey:

Awareness stage email: Subject line: "Are you struggling with allergies?"

Dear [customer],

Consideration stage email: Subject line: "Why [product name] is the best allergy relief solution"

A successful example of email through the buyer's journey which I think of is the one which is specific & time driven. For example if I was looking for sending an international gift hamper & happenned to browse through a few & later dropped off, it would be great for me to receive an email that reminds me to browse again or suggest me a few better options as per my browsing history, along with maybe a discount code to further make me buy the product/ gift.

In my case

• Awareness stage: Welcome, Education, List of products on offer & Categories
• Consideration stage: Connect with us, Offers & Discounts
• Delight/Decision stage: Special Offers, Promotions & Membership 

[EriHariono]

This is a great example based on real potential customer's needs and point of view.

I encourage every marketers and business owners to always position themselves in their client's (or customer's) needs and point of view instead of the other way around.

[MarshubDC]

Awareness Stage- Education, nurturing, a reminder of your offers.

Consideration Stage- Deeper education of your offers, constant reminders, discount and offers that will drive them to obey your CTA, testimonials, and case studies.

Decision Stage- More compelling offers, further reminder of what your product or service can do for them, more testimonials, reviews.

[GBogikian]

• Awareness stage: Welcome, Education, Free Resources, insights into the brand and products/services offered, customer feedback
• Consideration stage: Newsletter, Blog, more education, connect with us, photo, video

[BAllen18]

Awareness Stage: Welcome, Education, Free Resources

Consideration: More Education, Connect with us, Call, Video, Short Video Demo

Delight Stage: Offers, Promotions Connect WIth us

[TCNaidoo]

My opinion on the each stage through the buyers journey: 
Awarness Stage: Welcome Email; Brief insight into the brand and product of interest - allow the consumer to provide feedback and interact with the awarness stage. 

Consideration Stage: Information on the product; showcase the product; the features and benefits

Delight Stage: Unique offers, promotions
