The most valuable part of your funnel might be the one you’re ignoring.

While most businesses fight over the 5% of the market ready to buy, there’s enormous opportunity in the 95% who haven’t started searching—yet.

This edition of The Hype shows how Top-of-Funnel (ToFu) content helps you:

  • Expand your market before competitors even show up
  • Lower customer acquisition costs
  • Build preference early and convert faster

Your next customer probably doesn’t know they need you yet. The strategies, tools, and insights below will make sure they find you first.
