Marketing ladders offer purchasing options to customers and benefit both the company and the customer. They involve offering different tiers of a product or service, with the goal of moving customers up the ladder. This approach can increase sales and retain customers.
Marketing ladders are an up and down system that companies use to upsell and sell products and services. It is a marketing strategy or marketing approach to providing purchasing options to existing and potential customers. Many marketing and business experts believe that marketing ladders benefit both the companies offering the ladders and the customers who are choosing between one of the ladder rungs.
For example, if a company sells memberships to a website, it might use a three-rung approach with its marketing ladders. There can be three membership levels that the customer can choose from. The bottom line would include the cheapest membership option with the least amount of benefits. The middle tier would offer a price and benefits that would fall between the lowest and highest membership levels. The highest tier represents the most expensive membership tier with the most benefits.
A company can have several marketing ladders. Each marketing ladder is associated with a product or service line or serves a specific set of customers. For example, a business might use one marketing ladder for existing site members, while it might use one of the other marketing ladders for a free trial customer who now wants to cancel membership.
The main purpose of marketing ladders is to move customers through the marketing funnel by offering them options. For example, suppose a customer signs up for membership at the lowest level. The company can plan a marketing campaign targeting these members to upgrade their membership level to the intermediate level. In that case, the company would try to move the customer up the ladder or sell the customer.
Another of the marketing ladders can deal with customers who are planning to cancel their membership. If a middle tier customer submits a request to cancel the membership, the company may offer an option for the customer to move down the ladder to the bottom tier. If the member is at the highest level, they may first be given the option to downgrade to the middle membership level. If they decline, another option may appear to offer the option to downgrade to the lowest membership level.
In summary, providing alternatives to customers who use ladders in marketing increases sales upfront. This marketing approach can also retain customers, which ultimately means retaining profits for the business.
