Increase Leads & Sales with Growth Funnel

Growth Funnel is a marketing service that helps you personalise your conversion funnel. It addresses visitors by their names and encourages them to follow you on social media and share your content.

This leads to a larger social media following and more social media shares and a more trusting relationship with website visitors.

In order to see what Growth Funnel can do, the company kindly set me up with a test account. I hope you enjoy the review.

What Does Growth Funnel Do?

The concept of Growth Funnel is fairly simple. It uses email marketing to personalise your messages to visitors and increase the chance of a lead or conversion. Or it can be used to simply direct traffic to a particular location.

The first step is to collect the name and email address of a visitor. Once you have acquired that information, you can personalise future messages to everyone who is on your email list.

You can promote discounts, offers, competitions, eBook downloads, and more. You can also encourage them to follow you on social media and share your pages.

Those of you who have a WordPress website may find it easier to download the Growth Funnel WordPress plugin. All you need to do is download the zip file and either upload it and upload it via your admin area or extract the files and upload via file transfer protocol.

Be aware that the WordPress plugin does nothing more than add the Javascript code for you. It does not give you any additional settings or options. It merely connects your website to the Growth Funnel server.

Let’s move onto the main dashboard.

Creating Growth Funnels

The process of creating a new funnel is simple.

The first thing you need to do is select your funnel type. You can choose from full screen, pop up, slider, inline, growth link, and bar.

Next you have to select your template. All templates are colourful and look professional.

There are three full screen templates, 12 pop up templates, five slider templates, six inline templates, and two growth link templates. With the bar you need to simply customise the message and then style it using the visual editor.

Choose Funnel and Template
Select your funnel type and then select a suitable template.

The visual editor allows you to customise your forms. You can preview your design on desktops, tablets, and mobiles.

Via the editor you can change all the headings and text and upload your own images. You can change the names of the subscription fields and change the background colour and submit button colour scheme.

An additional step can be added that asks users like or share your website on Facebook or Twitter.

Visual Editor
The visual editor lets you customise everything.

The display rules lets you determine when your forms are displayed.

You can specify that the form is loaded immediately, after a set number of seconds, on exiting the page, or after scrolling a defined percentage of the page. Forms can be displayed to all visitors or a specified percentage. You can also display forms after visitors have read a specified number of pages.

A series of display conditions are available too. For example, you can only display a form when a visitor lands on a certain page on your website or when they arrive from a particular source e.g. Google. These same conditions can be set to exclude visitors from seeing the form.

Forms can also be targeted to desktop, tablet, and mobile users.

Display Rules
Display rules help you control exactly who sees your subscription forms and messages.

The funnel sync panel lets you take subscribers through a specified funnel. You can set up as many groups as you want.

Growth Funnel offers fantastic email integration.

There is support for the app service Zapier too, which opens up lots of opportunities to integrate Growth Funnel with other services.

As you can see, the whole process of creating a funnel is simple.

The dashboard area also provides reports, A/B testing, contact list, and a file upload area.

Push Notifications

Push notifications allow you to send instant notifications to subscribes via the browser or via their mobile.

For your push message you can specify the title, message, URL, and image icon. To the right of the page you will see how your message will look in Chrome, Firefox, Android and iOS.

Send a Push Notification
Push notifications are an effective way of pushing traffic to a particular page.

You can send the message immediately or after a specific number of minutes, hours, or days. Alternatively, you can specify the exact time and date the message should be sent out.

By default, messages are sent to all subscribers, however you can create segments and only send to certain subscribers. For example, subscribers who have visited certain pages, those who recently subscribed recently, those who followed you or shared a page via Twitter or Facebook, and those who have visited your website a specified number of times.

You can also see a list of past notifications that have been sent and those that have still to be sent.
