Marketing Strategy 2025

Building Brand Equity While Driving Conversions

Understanding the Intent Gap

Why mindset matters more than reach.

📱 Social Media Ads

User mindset: "I’m scrolling."
  • Users are consuming entertainment, not shopping
  • Ads interrupt attention rather than match intent
  • Interest is passive and curiosity-based
  • Works best for discovery and awareness
  • Requires repeated exposure before action
Passively Visible • Rarely Converts First Touch

🔍 Google Search Ads

User mindset: "I’m looking for a solution."
  • Users actively search for laptops or alternatives
  • Ads match real-time buying intent
  • Captures users closer to a purchase decision
  • Shorter decision cycle
  • Higher likelihood of immediate action
High Intent • Strong Conversion Potential

The User Journey

The Moment of Hesitation

Why high-intent traffic doesn't always convert immediately.

Trust

“Is this brand reliable?”

ZAPPO is new to the market. Buyers hesitate before committing to a high-ticket purchase without established credibility.

Awareness

“I’ve never heard of them before.”

People naturally trust brands they recognize. Low familiarity creates uncertainty — even if the product is good.

Price

“Is this worth the price?”

Without context, buyers compare price without understanding value, local advantage, or long-term benefits.

Specs

“Are the specs actually good enough?”

Users want clarity — not technical overload. If specs aren’t clearly positioned against competitors, doubt increases.
