One of these new ideas, termed Growth Marketing, is one of the most revolutionary new ideas to make its way into the business world in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-07842c8369a33a22f55080aba9aac222\">Growth marketing is not your everyday marketing strategy. Whereas conventional marketing focuses on acquisition, this multifaceted method considers the entire customer journey from awareness to retention in an integrated approach to the marketing process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-79c80183c995c91bf3949869bb3aa686\">As we explore the foundational ideas behind growth marketing, you\u2019ll learn how this innovative approach could become your roadmap to sustainable business success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-24-font-size\" id=\"h-what-is-growth-marketing-and-how-is-it-different\"><strong>What is growth marketing and how is it different?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-dd966b0929d60f99fbf3ba3716c5b8b3\">To define growth marketing, it helps to first talk about what it&nbsp;<em>isn\u2019t<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-9b7b216469746ca04a6c7097cac80d76\">Most marketing strategies focus on customer acquisition through segmented tactics. For example, a\u00a0<em>digital marketing strategy<\/em>\u00a0might deploy a Facebook specialist to manage social media ads, an email marketing specialist to A\/B test list segments, and a content marketing specialist to increase organic traffic through SEO. Each team member is laser-focused on analyzing their own data and optimizing marketing campaigns to acquire new customers within their respective channel. Some businesses also employ offline\u00a0<em>traditional marketing strategies\u00a0<\/em>like TV, radio, billboards, and direct mail to increase brand awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-0f1a186455dd63c9466ba4ed2415c015\">A growth marketing strategy may utilize any or all of these tactics. However, rather than compartmentalizing, it connects the data from every channel to create a big-picture strategy that integrates all marketing components into a unified funnel that touches every stage of the customer journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"806\" src=\"https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-1024x806.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-1024x806.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-768x605.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-1536x1210.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-90x71.jpg 90w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-114x90.jpg 114w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-1400x1103.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-1200x945.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-1000x788.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-900x709.jpg 900w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-800x630.jpg 800w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-700x551.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-600x473.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-500x394.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-400x315.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-200x158.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal-100x79.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/convetinal.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-f3ba33f41062d643e2141b08bf5f8c34\">When brand awareness, lead generation, sales, customer satisfaction, and product development work hand-in-hand, marketing strategy can respond to real-time data with agility, driving company growth more rapidly and sustainably than conventional marketing methods allow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-button-blue-gradient-background has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-24-font-size wp-elements-eff33da6a4a2def1eb6587177407f2e3\" id=\"h-advantages-of-a-growth-marketing-approach\"><strong>Advantages of a Growth Marketing Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-33d148161262caa6fd4b265acef5959e\">\n<li class=\"has-font-size-18-font-size\">Process efficiency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-font-size-18-font-size\">Scalability and agility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-font-size-18-font-size\">Speed to ROI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-font-size-18-font-size\">Long term, sustainable growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deeper brand loyalty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher retention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--36-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-24-font-size\" id=\"h-understanding-the-complete-customer-lifecycle\"><strong>Understanding the Complete Customer Lifecycle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-a71695c5f9909a1d7093e6fd21524f78\">Most business owners and marketers are aware of how a <a href=\"https:\/\/kartra.com\/blog\/what-is-a-sales-funnel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sales funnel<\/a> can help reach prospective customers on their purchasing journey.

For some companies, an activation event may simply be creating a free account or downloading a piece of content. For others, it would be signing up for a call or redeeming a coupon. Growth marketers measure the time it takes from acquisition to activation and find ways to shorten the span where possible. They also measure what spurred customers to become activated.

They rely heavily on data analytics platforms to garner insights on what can be done to maximize the customer experience and keep them engaged longer. This is seen by many as the ultimate metric. If a product or service delivers a bad user experience, then the company will have poor retention.

To understand this, growth marketers measure the number of referrals given by existing customers and institute referral programs to grow a strong customer base from their most loyal users.

The ultimate goal of growth marketing is to create sustainable growth by scaling revenue from both new and existing customers. This is accomplished by decreasing new customer acquisition costs through the refinement of the funnel and growth of brand loyalty over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-24-font-size\" id=\"h-core-pillars-of-a-growth-marketing-strategy\"><strong>Core Pillars of a Growth Marketing Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-font-size-18-font-size\">There are five core pillars that drive the data-based decisions in a growth marketing strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-multi-channel-marketing\"><strong>Multi-Channel Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-0842b458f0217254d5a6c68c6f0c761d\">In order to reach the target audience across the entire spectrum of the customer journey, growth marketing uses an agnostic or omni-channel approach to identify which ones most effectively drive growth for the company. Rather than focus on just one or two tactics, a more aggressive approach is taken to testing all viable channels, both online and offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-button-blue-gradient-background has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-22-font-size wp-elements-3eb87beb2620b2dac4e0d259832dd606\"><strong>Growth Marketing Channels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-9644ad5718e22cdf9cd9538c211e0e0c\">Email Automation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-24995309244a2c9eaf0abcd4d35333b2\">Social Media<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-4e4d2ec064c3a4e086bc3a70f24a4922\">SEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-ebc8e527637c42f3b6c608584e4de39d\">Content marketing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-e25e52b4351a325f2f5c08d9f4e00686\">Webinars<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-0fd029ba88e075f1f4deee8d074ec9ff\">PR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-e75fef306714ad9f1071f7565329e43b\">Digital Advertising<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-cd0a707ed4df0cfd9e8ad52612f2a882\">Affiliate marketing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-31deb7340fe845eaec94e966ab840c41\">Reputation Management<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-28742e02c3ffbd0602c790819bab9b74\">Trade Shows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-3e1aaf275497c69249853dd43bf417ac\">TV &amp; Video ads<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-be612e0bbed56ec5ea2e921dfed485a6\">Direct outreach<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--36-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-data-driven-strategy-decisions\"><strong>Data-Driven Strategy Decisions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-85d0036616e834c760d97276832a60bb\">Growth marketing uses quantifiable metrics and data to inform all aspects of a marketing strategy.
