How To Use Marketing Automation To Scale Your Business

Marketing is always an integral part of any modern business, driven by the need to let your potential customers know that you have something to offer them, and they could benefit from it. Over the years, traditional communication approaches like television ads, billboards, newspaper advertising, etc., have risen and then been pushed into the backdrop as new marketing approaches take center stage.
Marketing automation focuses on building automated marketing initiatives driven and managed by intelligent software solutions that work based on data captured across the consumer landscape. It can cater to all fundamental areas of marketing that an enterprise adopts today — like the generation of leads, brand building, and campaign management.
Marketing automation strategies need to be in place for organizations to scale their Business-
Precise-data driven targeting

By adopting a marketing automation strategy, you are inherently accepting the need to follow a data-driven operational model for marketing initiatives. Without that it is always possible that employees may make biased or uncalculated guesses from CRM data to pick targets for marketing campaigns. With marketing automation, prospective targets are autonomously selected by the system based on actual data about their interests, past transactional history, spending power, etc. This allows the marketing team to increase the chances of their campaigns becoming successful in converting leads to deals. When different team members handle different marketing channels like email, social media, paid media, etc., there are very high chances of inconsistency in reaching out to prospects, especially if an enterprise manages all operations manually.
For example, employees across groups may mistakenly select the same prospect for two different promotional campaigns via email and social media for the same product or service.
Achieving Consistency Across Channels

When different team members handle different marketing channels like email, social media, paid media, etc., there are very high chances of inconsistency in reaching out to prospects, especially if an enterprise manages all operations manually.
For example, employees across groups may mistakenly select the same prospect for two different promotional campaigns via email and social media for the same product or service.
With marketing automation, every channel, content, and target customer list is automatically evaluated and validated for the type of messages to be sent, the content to be used, the medium of interaction, and much more. This helps bring consistency and ensures that customers are always provided with a seamless omnichannel marketing experience.
Saving Time

Manually filtering contacts from the CRM based on targeting guidelines, sending messages to each prospect across different channels, checking for responses, and calculating conversions — the effort needed here is tremendously high. In a highly competitive environment, this would result in your business losing a significant amount of time virtually doing nothing but preparatory work. With marketing automation, however, marketers can save a ton of time and effort in segmenting data, picking the right content, and scheduling it for deployment across customer channels at the right time. Employees can use their time for more productive in-person engagements rather than wasting it on sorting heaps of data for days.
Easier and More Robust Reporting

Marketing automation allows for precise and more data-centric targeting of campaigns. This also entails observing responses from potential customers and evaluating the ROI based on conversions like the transition to sales, feedback about content performance, open rates of emails, etc.
In combination with integrated analytics, marketing platforms can not only create insightful reports for decision-makers but also help everyone, from content creators to campaign specialists, understand the true pulse of customers. This way, they can tailor their skills to create campaigns that have higher chances of success.
The Bottom Line

Marketing automation solutions are estimated to have a market size of over $13.71 billion by 2030. As the competition heats up, brands need to ensure that they are able to optimize and spend their marketing budgets wisely with guaranteed returns.
