Dr. Dave Chaffey joined us recently to discuss the results of the Email Marketing & Marketing Automation Excellence survey conducted by GetResponse, Holistic Email Marketing, SmartInsights, and Content Marketing Institute.
Marketing automation can be daunting at first. There’s so much information to process, with many ways to use it. But one way to use marketing automation to improve your marketing is to use it to look across your customer lifecycle. With which touchpoints are you using email and personalization to contact your customer? The ability to follow individual customers, through their customer journeys through time, with automation will help you achieve your business goals.
When we conducted the Email Marketing and Marketing Automation survey earlier this year, one of the things we asked marketers was how effective they thought email was as a marketing channel. We’re pleased to report that reports of email’s demise are still unfounded. More than half of the marketers we surveyed (53.6%, to be exact) were pleased with email marketing’s effectiveness. Email also remains one of the top 3 sales drivers, alongside organic search (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM).
