Potential Customers
Potential customers are those customers who currently do not use or need our products, but have the ability to become actual customers in the near future. The potential of customers can be affected by various factors; Such as: lack of familiarity with our business, lack of familiarity with our competitive advantages, lack of trust, lack of proper introduction of our business, or even lack of customer need for the services provided by us. The conversion of potential customers into actual customers can also occur as a result of the experience of the first purchase and satisfaction with it.
Identification of Potential Clients
Through activities such as marketing, market research and advertising, we can select our target customers. By choosing target customers and focusing our business activities according to their personality, situation and taste, we can turn them into potential customers of our products. The continuation of such activities with the approach of maximum attraction of potential customers will also make them actual customers.

3. Distinguish
Creating a sense of distinction in the target customers and creating the belief in their minds that why using the products offered by us makes them stand out from others can also be another way to attract potential customers and create an unbreakable link between them and our products.
4. Create Curiosity
It has happened to all of us that sometimes, seeing a commercial on the TV screen, we were curious to watch its continuation. Such a feeling should also be created in our target customers towards our products in order to turn them into potential customers. Creating a sense of curiosity about how the use of our products reduces people’s burden or what advantages it brings them can draw them towards our products.
Up To Sum
