Build a Personal Relationship
A lot of people think that using automation reduces the level of interaction compared to if you were manually sending emails to prospects and existing customers. However, with Marketing Automation, you can actually target prospects and customers on a more intimate level, as you will have more information about them through analysis of their customer journey. If you can see you haven’t engaged with a prospect in a number of months you can send them on a journey to reignite that conversation.
Depending on their score and the activity customers and prospects have on your site you can send them to content relevant to their needs. You can see what they are engaging with and what they are interested in. Again making your connection with them more personal and 1:1.
You can also segment your existing customer base and target them using information surrounding their demographic, usage, budget, etc to upsell, cross-sell or simply keep them on as a recurring customer, keeping them loyal to your business.
Automation gives you the ability to put closed deals into new journeys. As soon as they have bought from your business they can then be automatically transferred onto new lists where they receive content such as Newsletters.
