PPC to PPV transformation
If you are good at PPC, PPV should be easy for you.
People on search engine have three mindsets/modes
Browser mode
Research mode
Buying mode
Now, let’s exam the entire consumer purchase process.
- User browse around and thought of something (Browse mode, oh shit, that chick got white teeth with sexy smile)
- User wants to know more about how to get white teeth and type in general keywords into search engine (Research mode, teeth whitening kits/strips)
- User done with research, type in specific product detail trying to make a purchase (buying mode, Crest Whitestrips )
- After typing in the buying mode keyword, user sees search engine listings, and start clicking shit trying to compare price and make a purchase(buying mode being turbo charged, start clicking all the sites that sell Crest Whitestrips)
- User browsing merchant website, clicking on the items and adding them to shopping cart (buying mode super turbo charged, Crest Whitestrips in the shopping carts)
- User clicks on check out and completes the purchase
PPC only give you control up to step 3, but PPV gives you control all the way down to step 6 (with less and less volume). People deeply involved beyond step 3 are in a more firmed mindset that they are ready to buy compare to people in step 3
If you are good at PPC, just analyze your ppc campaign and apply it to ppv
