Marketing automation has been a phenomenal success for a few years now, and this trend is still relevant. Are you in marketing or in commerce, and you want to be more productive? This is the solution you need to boost your productivity, get more leads and personalize your web marketing strategy.
Adopt marketing automation
Do you want to set up a simple and effective B2B or B2C strategy? Marketing automation is the solution. This automation technique is very often associated with emailing, but that's not all. With marketing automation, you will be able to automate your SMS sending, segment your prospects, automate your lead nurturing or your lead scoring.
More concretely, marketing automation is about automating your marketing campaigns. This tool will ask you to define conditions, according to your contacts’ behavior. Thus, if, for example, one of them subscribes to your newsletters, you can automatically send this contact a welcome email. If they don't see your last email, you can send them back to a topic that may be of more interest to them.
The difference between marketing automation and email marketing
You should know that these two concepts are not the same. And to become an inbound marketing pro, it's important to know the differences between marketing automation and email marketing. First, email marketing is mainly used to send emails such as promotions, sales or news, to a specific database.
Unlike email marketing that targets all your contacts, marketing automation sends targeted emails in response to each of your contacts’ behavior. Not limited to sending emails, automation also classifies your contacts into specific audience lists or can assign them a score.
Indeed, in addition to delivery rates, marketing automation allows you to follow your leads’ path. This enables you, for instance, to know which pages he has visited, whether he has clicked on a CTA (call-to-action), downloaded content or visited a landing page.
Marketing automation : what are the benefits for your company?
Marketing automation can help you improve User Experience (UX), better target your messages, or get more leads. In addition to saving considerable time for your teams and salespeople, automation has many advantages.
Indeed, at the reporting level, you will no longer need to switch from one platform to another, because all your actions (traffic, conversion rate, engagement rate, etc.) will be found on a single campaign.
In addition, automating this process does not mean that you will lose User Experience. On the contrary, you will be able to personalize the customer journey in order to cultivate a good relationship with your prospects. Improved and personalized communication with your leads will also make it easier for them to make decisions, which is sure to optimize your conversion rate. Moreover, you will be able to achieve your goals more easily thanks to perfectly planned campaigns.
