Funnel Diagrams

Today, supply is typically great and often exceeds demand, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract buyers. In this regard, the areas of marketing, advertising and sales management are actively developing and strive to turn a potential buyer into a real paying customer. This process consists of several steps and is most often represented graphically using a Funnel chart. Each step decreases the number of customers.

The Funnel chart allows you to visualize a linear process with at least four sequential steps, and the number of items in the first step is expected to exceed the number of items in the last step. The Funnel chart allows you to categorize customers according to the stages of the sales process, from the first meeting to the conclusion of the sale. The first stage is always the largest and shows how many potential customers are in the early stages of the sales process. Each next stage is smaller than the previous one, and the bottom stage shows the number of customers whom contracts have already been signed with. As a result, the stages are arranged in the form of a funnel or an inverted pyramid.

The Funnel diagram is one of the main tools for building a business and an almost universal multifunctional sales management tool. It allows you to analyze a company's productivity and significantly increase profits. The main task of the seller is to competently conduct marketing campaigns and build a sales funnel in such a way as to ensure a smooth and unobtrusive transition of a potential buyer from curiosity to real interest, buying and becoming a regular customer. The stages of the buyer's movement towards the goal are clearly visible from the sales funnel. First, through advertising, the client's attention is attracted and his interest is awakened. Then the client's desire to take advantage of the offer and buy a product or service appears and this process ends with the purchase.

The marketing and sales funnel is useful for tracking the progress and success of advertising and marketing campaigns, for determining the number of customers who move to the next stage or disappear at each stage. It is also useful for calculating the potential performance of the company in stages, for tracking performance indicators to identify bottlenecks in the process and for a wide range of other tasks. What's more, the use of a marketing funnel in combination with its analysis gives you the opportunity to influence consumers in a professional and effective manner. The Funnel diagram allows you to draw conclusions about the quality of management and the need to increase efforts at some stage of the sale. If the funnel narrows evenly — this is a normal process, but if suddenly at one of the stages an unexpected narrowing of the funnel occurs, this indicates the need to improve the quality of management and sales process.

Example 1: ACCA DAGMAR Model

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the composition of libraries from the Funnel Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This sample demonstrates the Funnel diagram including 4 steps ACCA of DAGMAR (Defining Advertising Goals for Measured Advertising Results) marketing model. It was suggested by Russel H. Colley in 1961. This abbreviation is composed of the first letters of the model components, such as Awareness (A), Comprehension (C), Conviction (C), and Action (A). Each of these steps is represented as a separated layer on this Funnel diagram. The ACCA advertising formula originates from the AIDA advertising formula, and furthermore is more popular and comprehensive. It is intended for the measurement the advertising effectiveness and mapping the states of mind passed by the consumers on the way to purchase. One of the most important parts of the DAGMAR model is the process of defining the target audience (the group of people for which is addressed the advertising message) and formulation the objective of the advertising message.

Example 2: AIDA Purchase Funnel

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the composition of libraries from the Funnel Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This Funnel diagram sample shows 4 steps of AIDA marketing model, these are: Attention (A), Interest (I), Desire (D) and Action (A). It is a well-known and widely used model in a field of marketing and advertising. The AIDA marketing model allows to accurately depict all stages and steps taking place from the moment when the consumer first faces some product or brand through to the moment when he decides to test and buy this product. This model assists in comprehension efficiency and influence of advertising and marketing communications on the consumers and on the making purchases by them. The AIDA model allows making the products of specific brands recognizable for consumers, engages the new consumers to buy the products of exactly this brand. It helps to advance the consumers using the marketing and advertising via the series of sequential steps from the first acquaintance with a brand to the consumption and purchase.

Example 3: AIDAS Model

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the composition of libraries from the Funnel Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This Funnel diagram example depicts 5 steps of AIDAS marketing model: Attention (A), Interest (I), Desire (D), Action (A), and Satisfaction (S). This model is an extension of well-known marketing AIDA model including 4 steps on the way from the first informing the consumer about a specific product or brand to the decision making about purchase it. The refinement of the model and its increase in the number of stages from four to five were carried out taking into account theoretical developments and research. The AIDAS model helps to explain the mechanism using which the advertisement or marketing communications involve the consumers in a brand choice. The steps in this diagram are visually numbered and the arrows show the direction of movement. Steps are sequential from attention to a product or brand to satisfaction with their own choice, after interest in this brand or product, the desire to buy it and, ultimately, an active action (purchase).

Example 4: AISDALSLove Hierarchy of Effects Model

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the composition of libraries from the Funnel Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This Funnel diagram demonstrates the AISDALSLove hierarchy of effects model in advertising. It is described by 8 steps: Attention (A), Interest (I), Search (S), Desire (D), Action (A), Like/dislike (L), Share(S), and Love/hate. These simple words briefly describe the long process, when the target consumer audience pays attention (A) to the advertising announcement. Then it shows the interest (I) for the advertised brand or product and searches (S) the information about it. After this stage, it forms the attitude and desire (D) for the brand or product. The next stage is the action (A), on which the consumer audience elects the brand and purchases the product with a goal to satisfy the desire. After testing the product, we can see the following steps showing whether the consumer likes it. By like (L) or dislike, the consumer expresses its feelings of likes or dislikes, shares (S) its thoughts and impressions to other consumers through media or directly. As for the last stage (Love), it describes the long-term feelings (love or hate) of consumer audience towards the product or brand.

Example 5: Basic AIDA Model

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the composition of libraries from the Funnel Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This Funnel chart sample shows 4 steps of the basic AIDA model that is interpreted as Awareness (A), Interest (I), Desire (D), and Action (A). It is a basic AIDA model. However, in some cases, it may be modified, extended and supplemented with some additional steps, individually important in each case. There are many options, some of them contain additional stages after the purchase of the product, others contain advanced analysis before purchase. Some options include stages related to the publication of reviews on social networks and brand communities after testing the product. However, the basic sequence for each model based on AIDA will be stable and will include stages of cognition, exposure, and behavior. The ConceptDraw funnel object used in this example is positioned horizontally, indicating the direction of movement of the stages that this diagram implies. All the various funnel objects are available in the Funnel Diagrams solution libraries for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and are easy to use for building your marketing and sales funnels.

Example 6: Brand Funnel

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the composition of libraries from the Funnel Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This sample represents the Funnel diagram with 5 steps of a brand purchase funnel: Aided Awareness, Unaided Awareness, Consideration, Purchase, and Loyalty. In addition to the funnel with names of the stages, this sample also shows the steps values (what share of the target group reached the step in the purchase process) and conversion rates (what share of the target group is converted from the previous to the next step). Brand awareness is a major factor in brand management, advertising management, strategy development, and a key factor in consumer behavior. This metric shows how many people in the target market are aware of the existence of a brand and reflects the ability of customers to recognize and remember the brand. Brand awareness is extremely important because a consumer's ability to recognize a brand strongly influences the decision to buy products from a brand they like.

Funnel Diagrams

Considering creating a funnel diagram might mean you need to make a sales funnel, marketing funnel, customer conversion funnel, customer lifecycle funnel (used in customer lifecycle management), purchase funnel, recruiting funnel, lead generation funnel or launch funnel diagram. If there is a need for drawing a funnel diagram, you can make any by using the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Funnel Diagrams solution. In order to evaluate the success as well as to analyze the sales, to score prospects and leads, such visual representations of business data might be used.

Funnel charts are often used for representing different stages in a sales process or/and showing the amount of potential revenue for each of the stages. Funnel diagrams may also be very useful for identifying the potential problem areas in an organization's sales processes.

Any funnel chart is known to be displaying different values as progressively decreasing proportions amounting to 100% in total, but there are always some exceptions. The size of the area of such chart may be determined by the series value as a percentage of the total of all values. Any funnel chart consists of the higher part which is known to be called either a "head" or a "base" and the lower part which may be referred to as "neck".

There are design options for funnel charts that include 2D and 3D charts in different orientations. Thus, it is possible to construct a vertical funnel scheme that tapers completely from top to bottom. In addition, with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, you can create a horizontal funnel chart that also tapers from left to right or right to left.

Funnel Diagram 2D and 3D charts

The Funnel Diagrams solution also allows you to draw funnel-style infographics that represent any step in the process at the desired reduction factor that will be used to visualize different funnel models. The latter can be models of a brand funnel, conversion funnel (customer conversion funnel or online conversion funnel), customer lifecycle funnel, launch funnel, lead generation funnel, etc.

The best way to draw charts for a brand's sales funnel is to clarify what brand awareness is. Thus, the term "brand awareness" refers to the degree to which customers can remember or recognize a particular brand. As a key factor in advertising management, consumer behavior, strategy development, and brand management, such awareness cannot mean that a consumer has to remember a particular brand name. At the same time, they may remember at least a few distinctive features that are enough to keep the consumer buying process going.

When talking about buying and selling processes, it makes sense to mention another term - "conversion funnel". It is a popular phrase used in e-commerce and is used to describe the consumer journey through a search engine (search funnel). Consumers can also find online advertisements crawling through an e-commerce website ending with the purchase of things. Potential customers can be so called "bottom funnel", "top funnel" or "middle funnel".

In this case, it would be useful to know the term "funnel analysis" as it includes the use of various events leading to a specific goal. They are mainly used to organize e-commerce platform sales or online purchase advertisements. In addition to the above, order fulfillment may relate to this topic. The reason is that it is a complete process from the point of sales inquiry to the moment the product is delivered to the customer.

The consumer's ability to recognize or recall a brand is known to play a key role in a purchasing decision. The reason is that a purchase is not possible if the consumer does not know the category of the product. Any consumer should also be aware of a brand belonging to a specific category.

Also, any ConceptDraw DIAGRAM user can create marketing funnel diagrams (such as DAGMAR marketing diagrams), as well as order fulfillment funnel, etc. Among the most popular are product funnel, recruitment funnel, purchase funnel (AIDA or customer/consumer). search funnel or sales funnel chart. Examples of the latter include e-commerce sales funnel, online sales funnel, and sales management funnel diagrams.

Being involved in the sales process engineering activity (also known as "sales pipeline engineering" or "sales funnel engineering"), you might also find the Funnel Diagrams solution a useful tool for managing and completing your tasks on time.

The Funnel Diagrams solution is what expands the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector graphics software into a professional funnel chart drawing tool. It includes a library of vector stencils with pre-designed vertical and horizontal funnel shapes, callouts, arrows, and icons, so you can use it to create funnel diagrams and related infographics in a short period of time. In addition to the design elements mentioned, there are also funnel diagrams samples and templates to help you get started quickly with the images you need. It also provides tutorials and resources for learning best practices for funnel charting.
