The AIDA model is a classic marketing model that describes the four stages that a consumer goes through in the process of purchasing a product. The four stages are: Awareness, Interest, Desire, and Action.
The AIDA model is widely used in marketing and advertising to describe the steps or stages that occur from the time when a consumer first becomes aware of a product or brand to when the consumer makes a purchase decision.
- Type: Marketing Framework

- Key Elements: Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action
The Four Stages
Understanding the customer journey.
Awareness
The first stage of the buying process is making the consumer aware of the product. The goal of the marketer is to create brand awareness and affiliation with the product or company.
Interest
Once the consumer is aware of the product, the marketer's goal is to create interest in the product. This can be done by providing more information about the product, its features, and its benefits.
Desire
In this stage, the marketer's goal is to create a desire for the product. This can be done by appealing to the consumer's emotions and by showing how the product can solve a problem or improve their life.
Action
The final stage of the AIDA model is to get the consumer to take action. This could be making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or downloading a white paper.
Implementation & Strategy
Costs, timelines, and strategic considerations for adopting the AIDA Model.
Estimated Project Costs
The AIDA model is a strategic planning tool, so it doesn't have a direct cost. However, there are costs associated with the time and resources that you dedicate to the process. These costs can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on the size and complexity of the organization.
Implementation Strategy
A typical AIDA model implementation starts with a brainstorming session to identify the four stages for your product or service. From there, you can develop a marketing plan to address each stage of the customer journey. The final step is to implement the plan and to monitor and adjust it over time.
