DIRECT ANSWER

What lifecycle marketing means in Social Media
While lifecycle models vary by industry, most map five to six stages: awareness (prospect discovers the brand), acquisition (prospect converts to customer), onboarding (new customer activates and achieves first value), engagement (customer builds habits and expands usage), retention (active customer continues to renew or repurchase), and advocacy (satisfied customer refers others and amplifies the brand). Each stage has distinct goals, messages, and channels.
