Marketing automation is the ability to automatically trigger certain marketing activities based on a user’s behavior or characteristics. It removes tedious, time-consuming manual work while providing a more personalized, relevant user experience that improves marketing ROI.
Manufacturers can utilize marketing automation for various tasks to nurture leads, improve the efficiency of sales follow-up, retain existing customers, and much more.
Marketing automation is especially useful for manufacturers due to the length of sales cycles and the need for consistent communication to stay top-of-mind with prospects. With marketing automation, prospects receive targeted communication and content based on where they are in the sales funnel without all of the manual communication that sales teams would otherwise do.
More robust platforms, such as HubSpot, our preferred marketing automation tool, are particularly effective in streamlining and improving manufacturers’ marketing and sales efforts.
Our approach to marketing automation focuses on nurturing prospects and creating effective marketing campaigns. The WebStrategies team will take the time to understand how your sales team operates, how leads interact in different stages of your sales funnel, and the unique goals of your business.
