Marketing automation allows businesses to create more personalized and targeted marketing campaigns, while also saving time and increasing efficiency. By automating routine marketing tasks, businesses can focus on more strategic activities and free up resources for other areas of the business. Some common examples of marketing automation include: Automated email campaigns triggered by specific customer actions or behaviors Social media posting schedules that are planned and automated in advance Lead nurturing campaigns that provide targeted content and follow-up messages to potential customers Automated workflows that move leads through the sales funnel and into the customer relationship management (CRM) system
