Here’s how we help you guide your customers through each stage of their journey—while you can sit back and enjoy the ride.
The Awareness phase is where your marketing funnel begins. It’s about getting your business in front of the right people at the right time. If no one knows who you are, they can’t buy from you, right? Whether it’s through social media marketing, paid ads, or content marketing, this stage is all about making your audience aware of your brand.
Why It Matters:
If you’re not showing up in front of potential customers, someone else will. The awareness stage is crucial for making a memorable first impression without overwhelming your audience. You want to be seen and remembered, but without sounding like an annoying ad.

At Mid-West Family, we know how to create awareness campaigns that actually resonate with your target audience. We’ll help you get in front of the right people and start building brand recognition.

Once your audience knows you exist, we need to spark Interest. This phase is when your audience goes from “who are you?” to “tell me more!” They’re starting to explore your brand, but they’re not quite ready to buy yet. You need to keep them engaged and curious.
Why It Matters:
If you don’t catch their attention now, they’ll just scroll on by (we know how fast people can scroll) and with audio This is where you turn their curiosity into genuine interest, leading them to spend more time learning about what you offer.
If you don’t keep your audience engaged now, they’ll move on—whether that means forgetting about you, choosing a competitor, or just getting distracted by something else in their busy lives.
People are constantly bombarded with marketing messages, so your brand needs to stand out in a way that’s continues to matter to the people you want to reach.
How We Can Help:

Now we’re in the Consideration phase, where your audience is doing some serious research. They’re comparing your products or services to others in the market. It’s time to build trust and position your brand as the best choice.
Why It Matters:
This is the stage where your audience decides if they want to buy from you or move on. It’s crucial that you provide the right information to help them make an informed decision. If they don’t feel confident in your brand, they’ll look elsewhere.
How We Can Help:
Your audience is looking for reasons to trust you—and that trust isn’t given lightly. We’ll help you identify what sets you apart and how to communicate it effectively, so potential customers feel confident choosing you. Simply…just the right information at the right time.

Here’s the big moment: your prospect is ready to buy, but we need to make it as easy as possible for them to take the final step.

This phase of your customer’s journey is hyper collaborative between our Mid-West Marketing team and you and your business’ systems.
Why It Matters:
