Demand Generation

Definition

The marketing activity focused on creating awareness and interest in your product among people who may not yet know they need it, building future demand.

Why it matters

Unlike lead capture, which harvests existing interest, demand generation grows the pool of potential customers, feeding your pipeline for the long term.

Example

A founder publishes helpful guides and runs webinars about a problem her tool solves, attracting people who had not been actively searching for a solution yet.
