Automation does not have to be limited to emails. It can be based, for example, on time, dates, user activity on a website or the updating of an RSS feed. In addition, automation can be combined with other communication channels such as SMS, chatbots, push notifications or surveys to support a holistic customer journey. <\/p>\n

Marketing automation is an effective part of inbound marketing. It allows you to serve the right content to a lead or customer at the right time and in the right format. It also allows you to monitor what the person does after receiving the message and react if necessary. <\/span><\/p>\n

Typical items to use automation in online shopping are a confirmation message about a purchase or a reminder about an abandoned shopping cart. Communication can also be done in different ways for different customers. <\/span><\/p>\n

An essential part of this is understanding your customer personas and their perspective in order to be able to communicate and market in the right way – and at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, marketing automation links marketing and sales. For example, when a person subscribes to your newsletter, they become a lead and are served appropriate communications until a lead is identified as a potential buyer of your products or services, for example through a leadscore, and a notification is sent to sales. <\/span><\/p>\n

It takes some time and money to set up automation, but once it’s up and running, it almost runs itself. However, it’s worth making continuous improvements to ensure that the automation is serving you in the best possible way. <\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose, the number of contacts and messages sent, the budget available, the need for CRM and lead scoring, automation or integration will determine which platform is the right choice. The location of servers in Europe can also be a determining factor. Simple automation can be implemented with almost any software, but if you want to integrate CRM and\/or e.g. sales pipeline or leadscore tracking, you need to choose the software accordingly. <\/p>\n

You shouldn’t pay for unnecessary software, but when choosing software, you should also think a little about your future needs. You can even get started for free, as there are different levels of software available, including free planes.
