Question: What should your decision stage ads do?
- Tell your buyer persona why the other products or services available are bad
- Promote lead generation content offers
- Highlight the value of your company’s products or services
- Target only your existing customers
Explanation
In the Decision stage, the buyer is comparing specific providers and preparing to choose a solution. HubSpot defines the buyer’s journey as a progression from identifying a problem, to evaluating options, to making a purchase. At this point, ad messaging should focus on the distinct value, fit, and benefits of the company’s product or service so the buyer can judge it against alternatives. That aligns with journey-based advertising, which matches the message to the buyer’s stage rather than using the same type of offer across the entire journey. HubSpot Academy+1
Why the other options are incorrect
Tell your buyer persona why the other products or services available are bad This uses negative comparison instead of showing the value of the offer in the Decision stage. HubSpot Academy+1
Promote lead generation content offers This is more consistent with earlier-stage education and conversion activity than with final provider selection. HubSpot Academy+1
Target only your existing customers This is too narrow because decision-stage ads also need to reach qualified prospects who are actively comparing vendors. HubSpot Academy+1
