CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) — Nobody buys what they don’t recognize. Before someone searches, clicks, or fills out a form, they need one thing first:
They need to know you exist.
Top‑of‑funnel marketing builds that early familiarity and trust—before a consumer realizes they even need what you offer.
This is where radio and broad‑reach media still matter:
-
Reaching people during everyday routines
-
Building an emotional connection
-
Establishing local credibility
-
Planting the seed that later drives online actions
If people don’t know your name, they’re not searching for it. Awareness isn’t optional—it’s the foundation for everything. In my next blog, we will discuss Search and how consumers actually buy today.
