Bottom-of-the-Funnel (BOFU)
Bottom-of-the-Funnel (BOFU) refers to the final stage of the customer journey where users are ready to make a purchase decision. At this stage, marketing efforts focus on conversion through offers, urgency, and trust-building.
Why BOFU Matters
BOFU is where intent turns into revenue.
By the time users reach this stage, they already:
- know your product
- have considered alternatives
- are close to making a decision
What they need now is a final push.
Strong BOFU strategies help:
- Increase conversion rates
- Reduce drop-offs at checkout
- Maximize returns from existing traffic
For most brands, improving BOFU performance is one of the fastest ways to grow without increasing traffic or ad spend.
