To keep it simple, we can divide the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/customer-journey-marketing-automation\/\">customer\u2019s journey<\/a> into four stages:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15008 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-lifecycle.jpg\" alt=\"customer lifecycle stages\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-lifecycle.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-lifecycle-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-lifecycle-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/customer-lifecycle-595xh.jpg 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">1. Prospects<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At the beginning of the funnel are your prospects. By definition, a prospect is a potential customer. They\u2019re not entering your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/marketing-funnel-guide\/\">marketing funnel<\/a> totally blind, as they\u2019ve done some cursory research into your company or your products and services.<\/p>\n<p>They have at least a mild interest in what you sell, but they\u2019ve made no move to purchase anything yet. Prospects are more qualified than the average lead, so they\u2019re valuable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">2. Active Customers<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Through the efforts of your marketing pros, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/marketing-qualified-leads\/\">qualified prospect<\/a> has now become a customer. This change is cemented once the prospect makes their first purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Your goal at this stage is to continue nurturing and engaging with the customer so they\u2019ll buy more products\/services from your company in the future. If they purchase from you often enough, then you might qualify them as a frequent customer.<\/p>\n<p>Once in this part of your marketing funnel, the goal is to keep the customer there. By <strong>personalizing your communications with the customer<\/strong>, recommending products and services they\u2019re interested in, and prioritizing their satisfaction, the customer will remain active.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>3. Inactive Customers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While it would be great if all your customers were active forever, that\u2019s not how life works. Eventually, some customer segments can become inactive customers instead.<\/p>\n<p>These customers have made a purchase from your company, maybe even several purchases. The time between their last purchase and now is becoming bigger and bigger.<\/p>\n<p>What can cause active customers to become inactive? Sometimes, it comes down to factors that are outside of your control. The needs of your customer might have changed, their financial situation could be different, or perhaps they\u2019ve outgrown your products or services.<\/p>\n<p>These customers might not be making purchases now, but they\u2019re not a lost cause yet. By re-engaging with the customer at this stage of the marketing funnel, you could potentially bring them back to active status.<\/p>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/svg\/1f449.svg\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc49\">Ready to elevate your marketing game?

Lapsed Customers<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The fourth stage of the marketing funnel involves your lapsed customers. Just like you don\u2019t want your active customers to become inactive, you certainly don\u2019t wish for your inactive customers to lapse.<\/p>\n<p>Whether through neglect on the part of your sales and\/or marketing teams or due to the above-mentioned factors, lapsed customers are on the brink of exiting the funnel altogether. It\u2019s been a very long time since they\u2019ve bought anything. That doesn\u2019t seem to be changing anytime soon either.<\/p>\n<p>Again, a re-engagement campaign can be a last-ditch effort to recover these customers, but by this stage, holding onto them isn\u2019t always possible.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/customer-lifecycle-marketing-strategies\/\">Read also: 7 Great Customer Lifecycle Marketing Strategies to Make More Money<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Product_Lifecycle_Marketing\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">What Is Product Lifecycle Marketing?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like your customers go through a marketing funnel for customer lifecycle marketing, so too does each new product your company introduces. Marketing that is done with this funnel in mind is called <strong>product lifecycle marketing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A product has a lifecycle that, while it can be stretched out over years, is finite. Think of the iPhone, for example.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 6 came out in 2014. It\u2019s since been eclipsed by the iPhone 7, 8, X, 11, and the iPhone 12. You can\u2019t go to a store and buy the iPhone 6 new anymore because it\u2019s long since been out of production.<\/p>\n<p>Tech products are a great way to see the product lifecycle in action, often very quickly. The world of tech moves at a lightning-fast speed, so newer models are always coming out that encompass the latest technology.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/customer-lifecycle-management-clm\/\">Read also: Customer Lifecycle Management: CLM Guide for Business Owners<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Stages_of_Product_Lifecycle_Marketing\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">The Stages of Product Lifecycle Marketing<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like customer lifecycle marketing, the marketing campaigns for a product need to consider its lifecycle and adapt to changes. The product lifecycle has four distinguishable stages. Let\u2019s take a closer look:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15009 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/stage-of-product-lifecycle.jpg\" alt=\"stage-of-product-lifecycle\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/stage-of-product-lifecycle.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/stage-of-product-lifecycle-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/stage-of-product-lifecycle-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/stage-of-product-lifecycle-595xh.jpg 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">1. Introduction<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The introduction stage is among the most exciting. You and your team have worked for months, maybe years on a new product or service, and it\u2019s going to be unveiled to the world soon.<\/p>\n<p>Before that happens, your new product or service requires a full-scale marketing campaign to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/increasing-brand-awareness\/\">drive awareness<\/a> and promote the multitude of benefits your product or service provides.<\/p>\n<p>Your marketing team, in promoting the new product or service, must be able to answer pertinent questions about it. For example, who is the target audience for the new product? Is it a large market or a niche market?<\/p>\n<p>What problems does the new product solve or what needs does it fulfill? What does the product do that its competitors don\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>Having this product research available will allow marketers to do their jobs more effectively, which could increase the success of your product.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in the introductory phase or just before, your company will have to determine the price for your new product or service. This can be a make-or-break turning point. If you underprice your product, it will undoubtedly attract a crowd, but your company won\u2019t turn a profit.<\/p>\n<p>By overpricing your product, whether intentionally or due to lack of experience, your potential customers will balk at the prices and flock to the competition.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">2. Growth<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once your product is on the shelves, you have to play the waiting game to see how it performs. An uptick in sales is indicative of your <strong>business entering the growth stage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, you need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/free-marketing-strategies\/\">marketing strategy<\/a> that addresses several business-related questions. For instance, are you positioning your product so it succeeds? Look at the products and services your competitors are releasing and how those are performing. Is your new product outselling the competition?<\/p>\n<p>All marketing at this stage must take into account where your product stands in the market. Don\u2019t try to market your product as the category leader if it is not, and avoid comparisons with smaller brands too.<\/p>\n<p>A growing product must be marketed as what it is \u2013 a new product that is fast becoming a market favorite, and may offer <strong>greater value for money<\/strong> than more established products.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">3. Maturity<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The third stage of the <strong>product lifecycle marketing funnel<\/strong> is maturity. This is the stage that companies most eagerly await, as it leads to the greatest sales for the product.<\/p>\n<p>By the maturity stage, you have a good amount of product supply, so production costs are lower than they are in the growth stage. You\u2019re also not marketing your new product as fervently because it\u2019s not that new, and more so because a larger audience segment knows about it.<\/p>\n<p>However, marketers can\u2019t rest on the new laurels in this product maturity stage. Your team should work to identify all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-audience-segmentation\/\">audience segments<\/a> so that they can re-target some audience groups that weren\u2019t interested in the product earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Marketing in this stage needs to <strong>leverage testimonials from experts<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/five-star-reviews\/\">customer reviews<\/a>, and any awards that your product may have garnered.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at EngageBay\u2019s very own example here:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15010 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/engagebay-awards.png\" alt=\"engagebay-awards\" width=\"623\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/engagebay-awards.png 623w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/engagebay-awards-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/engagebay-awards-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">4. Decline<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The last stage of a product lifecycle is decline. This is inevitable and is marked by reduced demand and equally reduced profits.<\/p>\n<p>Marketing your product differently in this stage can mitigate some of the damage. There can always be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-audience-segmentation\/\">audience segments<\/a> who\u2019d prefer your product over the competition, so you must target them now.<\/p>\n<p>As you may have guessed, marketing in this stage requires you to reach out to all the people who\u2019ve purchased your product and remind them of how wonderful it has been for them. This can <strong>trigger some more buying<\/strong>, and that can result in great returns on this marketing.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49<span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Unlock the potential of lifecycle marketing software with our in-depth guide \u2013 transform your marketing strategy today! \ud83d\udd11&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:14851,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;4&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:16250872},&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:3621201},&quot;15&quot;:&quot;S\u00f6hne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, \\&quot;Segoe UI\\&quot;, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, \\&quot;Noto Sans\\&quot;, sans-serif, \\&quot;Helvetica Neue\\&quot;, Arial, \\&quot;Apple Color Emoji\\&quot;, \\&quot;Segoe UI Emoji\\&quot;, \\&quot;Segoe UI Symbol\\&quot;, \\&quot;Noto Color Emoji\\&quot;&quot;,&quot;16&quot;:12}\"><em>Unlock the potential of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/lifecycle-marketing-software\/\">lifecycle marketing software<\/a> with our in-depth guide \u2013 transform your marketing strategy today!<\/em> \ud83d\udd11<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lifecycle_Marketing_Best_Practices\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Lifecycle Marketing Best Practices<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your company hasn\u2019t yet defined its customer lifecycles or product lifecycles, it\u2019s never too soon to start.

Understanding your audience as they move through your marketing funnel is crucial so you can nurture them appropriately based on the stage they\u2019re in.<\/p>\n<p>This goes back to what we talked about in the beginning of this article. Your long-term customers don\u2019t need the same level of engagement as your new customers. Without knowing who\u2019s where in the buying journey, you can\u2019t successfully market your products.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d also have no way of knowing which audience groups would be interested in your new products or services.

If you\u2019re not quite grabbing your customers with your current social media campaign or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/marketing\/email-broadcast\">email broadcasts<\/a>, or if your new product is underselling, reports generated for the right metrics will pinpoint exactly what\u2019s going wrong.<\/p>\n<p>You can then redirect your lifecycle marketing plan to re-target your audience.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e;
