What is a Conversion Funnel?

About Conversion Funnels

A conversion funnel is a term used in e-commerce to describe the different stages a consumer goes through, from initial awareness to the final purchase, and in some cases, beyond. It is designed to guide potential customers through a series of marketing actions like automated emails, targeted offers, and engaging content that aim to maximize the probability of converting initial interest into a sale.
