And this means that there are as many aspects to it, from automating workflows to pre-designing templates and pre-determining various factors that could really make a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, this means that there are as many marketing automation strategies, as there are <a href=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/top-20-marketing-automation-software-solutions-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">marketing automation software types<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what are these strategies? What kinds are there? And most importantly: How can they be used?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email Sequences Are Your Friend<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine having a large email list, filled with interested, happy subscribers that will be waiting for your newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine now having to send the newsletter out by hand\u2026 Sounds dreadful, doesn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, one of the most basic and popular automation strategies is the use of email sequences. Yes, those automated ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You see, a subscriber is more likely to convert, than a person who just happened upon your website and thought \u201cOh well, let\u2019s take a look\u201d. This is why all email marketing and automation platforms, like Moosend, a great <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moosend.com\/blog\/mailchimp-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MailChimp alternative<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, have this strategy calculated down to a tee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can prepare fabulous content and just go crazy with triggers and sequences that will be just right for every behavior-from newsletter templates to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/the-best-abandoned-cart-emails-an-overview-for-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cart abandonment emails<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to replenishment emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you\u2019re wondering why email sequences are so important, just take a look:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80169\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-1.png\" alt=\"ROI for email marketing stats\" width=\"731\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-1.png 731w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-1-720x375.png 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-1-360x188.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"right\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/marketingsherpa.com\/article\/chart\/email-marketing-roi-marketers-perceptions\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\"><u>Source<\/u><\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email marketing is the single most foolproof and affordable way to get those \u201cFly-By\u201ds to convert. Automating the experience can guarantee that you won\u2019t waste time, effort and resources and will get the most out of everything email marketing has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams Cannot Be Working Separately<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only way to have everything work properly is to do all tasks yourself: True or False?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">False.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you\u2019re a solopreneur, you\u2019re not expected to do everything yourself. But how can you make all departments work so well, that your company will work like a Swiss watch, while at the same time, making the whole experience fun and non-imposing?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And most importantly: How will this work in favor of your customers, ultimately?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where marketing automation comes into play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of a digital agency for example. The client service department and the client, settle on an ideal budget for their campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But nobody lets the creative department know about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the creative department starts brainstorming ideas and comes up with a suggestion that is fantastic but exceeds the set budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The creative department, in our case, has lost precious time and resources-which could\u2019ve been avoided if they\u2019d known the client&#8217;s budget all along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same thing can happen between all departments of any and all companies, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing automation software is what can synchronize everything and make all information available to everyone. This will automatically answer any questions about the client down the line and give more freedom to each team while enabling everyone to make data-driven decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Segmentation And A\/B Testing Made Easy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go back to the first example and assume that you\u2019ve got a pretty large and awesome list. Your list contains leads and those leads can give you tons of data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now let\u2019s imagine you need to extract all the information manually. Segmenting the list would be your number one priority, but can you make sure that you\u2019ve got everything down correctly with minimal to no human error?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, can you make sure your segmentation will be done in the minimum amount of time and won\u2019t need to be re-done a couple of days later, not to correct any mistakes, but to segment with another parameter as the core of your actions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing automation gives you the opportunity to segment a list without trying and repeat that segmentation using different parameters as triggers each time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the parameters don\u2019t necessarily have to be the \u201cclassics\u201d-ie geolocation, age or income. You can segment based on the time a user spent on one of your website\u2019s sections, on whether they looked at scarves or bathing suits (if you\u2019re an eCommerce platform) and so on and so forth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s the magic of marketing automation: It gives you tools that you hadn\u2019t even thought of at the beginning and it makes tedious tasks, simple and easy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes for A\/B testing, of course. All you\u2019ve got to do is just think of the two parameters you\u2019d like to test and\u2026 Well, set an automation that will test away for you, while you focus on more important tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you want to optimize your conversion rate, check this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotjar.com\/conversion-rate-optimization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CRO<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> guide out!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you\u2019re still not convinced about the sheer power of segmentation, check this out:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80170\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-2.png\" alt=\"Results from List Segmentation\" width=\"1016\" height=\"655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-2.png 1016w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-2-714x460.png 714w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-2-768x495.png 768w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-2-683x440.png 683w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Marketing-Automation-Strategies-2-326x210.png 326w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"right\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fulcrumtech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Lyris-Annual-Email-Optimizer-Report.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\"><u>Source<\/u><\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine how off these numbers would be, if segmentation had to be done manually and wasn\u2019t part of a clever marketing automation strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But are those three tips enough to guarantee success?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me continue with a thing or two that you need to take into consideration before using marketing automation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You Need A Strategy For The Strategy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m sure this sentence got you a little confused. What I mean is that marketing automation strategy is nothing in and of itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing automation strategies are just bits and pieces of the whole puzzle. You\u2019ll need a complete strategy beforehand and that\u2019s the tricky part.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You see, you can set all the campaigns you need and segment everything and still not get results, for various reasons that have nothing to do with your tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you\u2019ll need to extract data and make sure your emails are scheduled to be sent at the best time for your readers, your content is brand-tone specific and your visuals are enticing and nothing short of fantastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you\u2019ll need to sit down and really think about a thing or two:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.g2crowd.com\/kpi-key-performance-indicator\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KPIs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What other tools do you need to make things run fast and smoothly? Maybe a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotjar.com\/customer-experience\/survey\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer experience survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will save the day, and maybe your audience would love to see that on social media, rather than in an email.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you trust in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/free-landing-page-builder\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">landing page builder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for optimal results, or is there no need to do this so far?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some of the important questions you need to ask yourself-and your team-before going forth with the perfect marketing automation strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s All In The Content<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your buyer personas. What did they tell you? What are their secrets? What do they like most?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now check your data. Is your data telling you what you heard through your buyer personas?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These actions can and should be made through marketing automation tools, but content creation is not something that can be automated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And since the devil is in the details, you\u2019ll need to pay an extra amount of attention to everything you can incorporate into the perfect content, whatever that may be: a blog post, an email, an ad or a webinar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got this down, then marketing automation strategies will boost and make your conversion skyrocket. If not, then marketing automation strategies won\u2019t compensate for the fact that you didn\u2019t pay enough attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Works For You?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are tools, strategies, theories, articles, you can try different things and read and test for decades and not come to a solid conclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why it\u2019s important to set your own goals and think of your own individual needs, rather than going with something that may be the most popular choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everything is for everyone and you can save a lot of precious time and resources by taking some time to pinpoint exactly what your company and brand needs, in order to maximize revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And make sure to do your fair amount of research before settling with a marketing automation tool and a strategy that will make everything fall into place and work like a charm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Study the features and use everything that\u2019s necessary. Experiment, but don\u2019t waste all your time experimenting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, and all automation strategies aside, if you feel that you need a personal touch that can only be given by a real-live agent or company representative, just go for it. You can use marketing automation for all the rest, after all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summing Up<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing automation tools are wonderful and can save the day. However, they would be nothing but tools, if not paired with the right strategy and the content to go with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, waste no time.
