What is Marketing Automation?
Marketing automation is the process of using software to automate your marketing activities during different parts of the marketing funnel.
Many marketing departments use automation for repetitive tasks like email marketing, publishing on social media, and online advertising campaigns. Automating these tasks can increase efficiency, plus it provides a more personalized experience, allowing you to nurture prospects and convert them into happy customers!
Why You Need Marketing Automation
Do you want to perform tasks in less time, save resources and increase revenue while doing so?
Do you want to generate new, qualified leads?
The solution? Marketing automation.
With marketing automation, you can identify, track, and engage with prospects online. You can measure the revenue contribution of every marketing campaign you’re running, helping you plan your budget wisely.
How Does Marketing Automation Work?
At a very high level, marketing automation sends specific content to potential customers based on their behaviour and data.
It allows you to automate manual, repetitive tasks: sending emails, follow-ups, reminders, and reports. This consequently makes the entire process faster, more manageable and more personalized.
Marketing automation can have a significant impact on companies of all sizes, especially small businesses that are looking for methods to save time and resources.
