Effective demand generation is all about a discovery journey filled with consumer inspiration. In this context, "inspiration" means giving ideas to users and helping them imagine how a particular product can benefit them (e.g., how they'll look in that green dress or how great those shoes will look with the dress they already have). What's the point? Many online consumers are actively seeking inspiration. They want ideas for an upcoming project or event. They are ready to buy. So, “inspiration” for the sake of demand generation is a strategy that eCommerce brands should seriously consider investing in. Because if they can deliver the relevant content to the right person at the right time and spark a moment of inspiration, that’s a happy ending for all.
