Lead generation during the summer break?

4 reasons why prospects (leads) never take a break or vacation

  1. Prospects/leads never all go on vacation together and are all suddenly gone at the same time.
  2. Inbound marketingwhich is ideally suited to lead generation, is not only effective at the time of publication and promotion, but also in the medium and long term.
  3. Every prospective customer has their own timing as to when they are open to which content and want to consume it. Sometimes even during or after the vacations. There are many people who don't want to break off completely during the vacations and are "always online" thanks to mobile and Global Connection.
  4. The level of suffering of prospective customers/leads is always different and is one of the biggest drivers in the buying process. Information on the relevant/correct topic is therefore never equally important for all leads, depending on their prioritization. This means that vacation time or not, you will always reach leads.

But OK, there are usually seasons in which more or fewer leads are generated. Sometimes this can be explained logically. For example, interest in credit cards, which increases dramatically before and during vacation periods, only to normalize again afterwards.

During work, on the way to or from work, in their free time or on vacation. Modern communication has long taken this into account and automatically adapts to the rhythm and timing of the individual user. Anyone who is familiar with such mechanisms (Marketing Automation), there is no need to worry too much about summer or vacation breaks in lead generation. And that is also the key to success for all companies and brands."Success belongs to those who can conduct a qualitative dialog with each individual potential customer (lead) at the right time and in the right context."
