Marketing Automation

Higher efficiency 

Marketing automation saves your marketing team a huge amount of time in nurturing and converting prospects into customers. It also allows your marketers to really be marketers instead of data and admin clerks.   

You can leverage marketing automation across multiple channels and layers of your business. Most popular:  

• Browser notifications  
• Social media  
• Social advertising 
• Search engine advertising  
• Email marketing 
• Internal processes 
• Sales follow-up 
• Reporting 

Benefits of marketing automation 

Implementing marketing automation brings several benefits to your business, including: 

• Cost reduction   
• Efficiency; less waste of time and efforts   
• Less repetition, more creativity   
• Targeting potential customers across multiple channels   
• Leveraging data from multiple channels to provide targeted messaging   
• Setting up a machine that will work for you in the background, and generate revenue    

Why marketing automation is important for your growth strategy 

However, if not implemented well, it can bring serious harm to your business. This is because you might not use the right channel for the right audience or overflow certain visitors with multiple channels. Marketing automation starts with a data-driven strategy and model first. Many companies skip this vital step and end up stemming from growth or thinking that marketing automation doesn't work for them. 

Bad data leads to bad business. If the setup of your marketing automation system is faulty, or if your input data is compromised, you will end up serving valuable content to the wrong people. Ultimately annoying potential customers and creating a bad name for your business. We all know one or two companies we dislike because they are “spammy” and “annoying”.  You don’t be known like that. 

Are you struggling with the following?  

• Don’t know where to start. You want to jump on the marketing automation bandwagon but don’t know where to start. Marketing automation tools and strategy can be complicated to implement the first time.  

• Don’t know what the best approach is. You possess a powerful tool but have no clear strategy on how to effectively use this tool.  
  
  
• Is it worth the investment? You have no idea of the Return On Investment (ROI) and Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) your marketing automation has.  
  
  
• No time. Without the automation you are caught up on menial administrative tasks leaving you no time to start setting up your marketing automation.  
  
  
• Not sure. No clear idea how automation can fit your current strategy  

Don't worry, that’s very common! We notice that most of our clients are struggling with this. See our standard process below to understand how we can help you tackle your challenges.    

Our approach

If you are building a marketing automation system from scratch:  
 

• We always start by understanding what your end goal is (your One Metric that Matters) as well as the various conversion points in the customer journey. Based on this we will create an ideal funnel and map touch points with potential customers. 
  
  
• Next, we will setup the appropriate tooling and needed automations. We will always start small building out the system step by step. That way we can learn along the way and see results faster.  
  
  
• Finally, if desired, we can create reporting dashboards so you can easily monitor results and growth.
