One of the core concepts of online marketing is the idea that the sales process neatly resembles a funnel. Although there are many variations, a typical marketing funnel starts with awareness, then consideration, and finally ends with a purchase decision. Since prospects drop off at each progressive stage, the whole system does in fact look like a funnel. At least in theory.

Here’s how to map your marketing videos to the new path to purchase, with examples from Slack, Ahrefs, Mailchimp, and more.

Today, we’ll explain the psychology behind the power of nostalgia. We’ll also share some examples of brands successfully using nostalgia to tug at our heartstrings and our purse strings.

Appearing on camera can be nerve-wracking, even for executives.
