What is a lead – Social BlaBla

In it Marketing Online The term ‘lead’ is used a lot. However, I am not sure that everyone immediately understands what a lead is, so I will explain it.

It generates a lead every time a user offers their data through a channel, such as a Facebook page, blog, Twitter, Linkedin or a web page among others. Of course, a user must obtain something in return, such as participation in a contestthe obtaining a service o producthe access still content how can it be a E-book o one tutorial and even one subscription. For this reason it is very important offer quality in exchange for a lead, What good content can be like.

A user who fills in their data and sends it through a landing page in which partial information is offered about a product or service, which is completed if the user requests it through a form, it is also generating a lead. And if we also combine this campaign with advertising on other blogs in our same sector, we use the Google Adwordswe make a mailing and we also publish it in the social networks– All received forms become leads.

Leads are the data generators of our clients and the first step towards a sale. Many companies measure the cases in which the lead ends in a sale with percentages, so for example if we have obtained 100 leads and 7 have ended in a sale, it appears that they have had a 7% conversion.

The conversion is therefore the number of people who have generated a lead (filled out a form with their data) who have ended up purchasing a product or service.

Likewise, the cost per lead is obtained by dividing the advertising investment by the total number of leads that have been obtained.

CPL= Advertising investment/Total leads

Las social networks offer enormous potential for lead captures of quality at an interesting cost, using for example the Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin ads. This will help you convert them into customers through marketing actions such as email marketing.
