MARKETING AUTOMATION
Marketing Automation describes the use of tools for planning, execution and automation of marketing communication and processes. In other words: It means the optimization of repetitive processes such as lead qualification, follow-ups, cross- & upselling, and regular or triggered communication in order to increase efficiency and reduce costs and resources.
Stand-alone solutions, which aim at one-to-many communication and thus the sending of mass e-mails belong to the past: over the last 20 years marketing automation has become one of the most important goals of modern marketing.
This is due to rising customer expectations as well as an ever-increasing demand for personalized and relevant content with added value: To deliver a personalized experience to each customer individually, you need to gather the right information, set the right triggers and automate campaign delivery and communication – all based on each customer's behavior and interests, with the right content at the right time and within the preferred channel.
