Editor's Notes
Plain old email marketing just doesn't cut it anymore. Easy and powerful marketing automation software can help you engage your audiences in relevant, 1:1 conversations across the channels of their choice, and drive impressive bottom line results fast.
First webinar of the Summer Marketing How-To Series, Graduate…
We also have specific webinars in the series focused on how to Acquire, Engage prospective customers and Grow their lifetime value.
All marketers, irrespective of the type of company they work for - B2B and others from B2C businesses, across industries and verticals, have the same quest:
How do I acquire new customers faster?
How do I grow their lifetime value?
And, how do I convert as many of them as possible to become advocates?
How do I build brand advocates who in turn can influence new prospects?
In other words, create this unstoppable virtuous cycle of customer success.
But today’s mobile, social, digital world, has made this really hard to create this virtuous cycle of customer success.
First of all, there is lots of noise out there – buyers of today – its not easy for them either – they are being bombarded by more than 2900 messages per day; they can recognize about 50 and remember maybe 4.
But this noise has also created a world of information abundance - buyers are more empowered than ever before. And armed with this info, they are forming opinions and drawing conclusions well before they choose to interact with your brand.
In fact if you look at some data points, from folks like Forrester, they say that anywhere from 66-90% of a buyer’s journey is self-directed before they interact with you
And when these buyers do decide to interact with the brand, at every stage of interaction, 87% percent of them demand something that is a meaningful, contextual, relevant experience (based on a recent report from Edelman).
Its like going back in time … If we transport back in time…100 years ago. A time where business used to be personal – you went to your local store.
Like this place…where you had a relationship with Paul, a store owner in East Rutherford, N.J……And Paul knew your name
He knew what you purchased in the past and and he could anticipate your needs and wants.
That type of personalized service was great…the only challenge was…it didn’t scale.
This is the same experience that people want in their digital interactions with brands today…
Given that there is lots of noise, the customer is self-directing their journey and the customer wants a personal interaction at every point of their journey, it’s now up to marketing, more than any other business function, to become the steward of the customer journey.
Most marketers turn to email as their best friend.
Agreed, that email continues to be an effective way to engage with consumers and influence their path to purchase
But marketers are still challenged with engaging new subscribers and maintaining the loyalty of mature email subscribers.
So how are your emails? Are you listening and then responding?
Emails rely primarily on targeting audiences based on demographics and flat “subscriber” files.
However, this kind of targeting ignores valuable information about buyer behavior that can be obtained by examining a buyer’s actions, or lack of actions, as they engage with content and trusted sources online and offline.
Example: Looking for a smart watch. You email me cool cameras, you’ve lost me!
Today’s digitally-empowered buyer is channel-agnostic. This new buyer has become the undisputed controller of her relationship with your brand. Now, more than ever, your customer is in charge.
As a Multi-channel marketer, you’ll need to do two things-
• Listen: Pay close attention to buyer behavior across all channels so you have a single, integrated view of the buyer persona.
• Act: Manage, personalize, and act on conversations with buyers across channels. A conversation you start in an email must continue when the buyer navigates to your website, and shouldn’t skip a beat when she jumps over to your Facebook page.
Some of the channels to consider are: Email, Web, Retargeting, Direct mail, Social media, Mobile( SMS/MMS)
Not multi-channel
Today’s buyer shifts rapidly and continually across channels, engaging with email one moment and with social media the next. Traditional ESPs have made modest attempts to integrate other capabilities such as social media, but without the backbone to support true cross-channel marketing, their small fixes don’t address the bigger problem. It hurts when you can’t capture all the online and offline behavioral patterns and you lose real insight into how your customers tick, and they cannot effectively or in a timely manner trigger action in other parts of the organization such as sales or call centers.
Typical buyer journey…
Target/Find potential customers and Attract them to you by getting them to click on an ad. This of course happen at the TOFU.
Engagement Marketing covers the entire process, but today, rather than using paid channels to Find and Attract potential customers, it relies primarily on unpaid channels, such as content marketing, SEO and social, for example).
But the key difference is that engagement marketing deals with the entire buyer journey across multiple channels
Marketo, will have rich customer profiles detailing who they are, where they work, how they behave, what their interests are and how ready they are to buy.
So, the business situation is that 1/4th of the marketer’s digital marketing budget is going to online advertising and 95% of that spend is wasted on the wrong audience while a treasure trove of rich customer data exists in their Engagement Marketing Platform like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow!
Need:
Activating customers, maximizing customer lifetime value, creating more advocates
Solution:
Get a clear picture of each customer
Build trust, loyalty and advocacy with only relevant content showing that you understand them
“While we’re engaging with consumers, we’re continuing to learn more about them. Which messages resonate with them? Are they opening your emails? Are they coming to your website? Are they tapping push notifications? All of this data comes together to provide the clearest picture of your consumer – which you can use to grow your relationship with them, whether that means buying more or advocating to their friends.”
You know Email Marketing DOES NOT do this!
Nobody likes the idea of getting “blasted,” but that’s exactly what most ESPs do — blast subscribers. At best, they succeed in sending similar messages to everyone on a list at the same times — at best, the messages won’t resonate; at worst, they will irritate and alienate recipients!
And you also know that in this golden age of marketing… just email marketing wouldn’t cut it for you.
For marketing to deliver exceptional brand moments, the rules of engagement have to change; we can’t parlay the paradigms of the past but rather need new ones. So, what are these new rules of engagement?
Because we are amidst massive transformation in the consumer engagement world.
In the last few years alone we have moved from Mass Marketing to marketing that focused on the transaction. We are now in the Era of Engagement Marketing –where companies that win are shifting from marketing AT consumers to engaging WITH them to build meaningful and lifelong personal relationships.
Marketo
MA does new and valuable things that standalone email solutions simply cannot, including several essential capabilities for “sense and respond” conversations.
1. Behavioral Targeting for Relevance
With marketing automation tools, you can build dynamic behavioral lists that segment customers by demographics and by behavioral data, such as Web activity, social sharing history, transactional history, and more. Personalize content for what that person sees!
Marketers can then send the right message, in the right format, to the right person at the right time.
2. Relationship-building Conversations
MA tools automatically and intelligently provide consumers with the next appropriate and relevant message – which builds lasting relationships. EXAMPLE: Buying a car: Research, showroom, test drive, look at finances, then buy
By taking into account where each customer is in relationship to your business right now, you’re able to create a connection that starts with the very first dialog you have with a customer, and lasts all the way through his stages of purchase, use, and loyalty.
3. Coordinated Multi-channel Campaigns
Your consumers move seamlessly across digital and offline channels — the Web, mobile, social media, in-store, etc. — MA enables coordinated marketing. It pays attention to the
consumer’s behavior on every channel and then takes responsive action. EXAMPLE: If your brand knows that I shared your product review on Facebook, then maybe you can target me with an SMS text, a personalized email, or even a phone call. By tracking an integrated chain of interactions via email, search, and social, marketing automation tools coordinate conversations with buyers across every channel.
4. Strategic Analytics
As marketers, you would greatly appreciate how much better the analytics are on MA platforms.
A deep understanding of marketing ROI, to prove the revenue impact of campaigns. Your CMO doesn’t care about Open and Click Rates; they want a measure of true engagement and actual financial metrics that tie email and all marketing to the goals of the entire company.
The listening and responding power of MA comes alive through several powerful features. Whether it’s SEO, Nurturing, Facebook integrations, Mobile App engagement, and Analytics we give you everything you need to grow your business and acquire and grow customers.
Example:
A customer searches for something on the internet, clicks and visits your site.
They leave the site and are retargeted with your ads
They return to the site and sign up for the newsletter
They receive emails and download the app
They add a product to shopping cart, but don’t checkout
They receive an email to return to finish shopping
They don’t open email, but in the app they receive a notification for 10% off today only
They don’t click, so they’ll see a Facebook ad targeting them to return
They purchase
A few weeks later they receive more targeted content and messages based on the type of product they are interested in.
The customer

The challenge
Presenting 2 million customers with personalized recommendations based on a fast-changing property inventory is a tough challenge for the marketing team.
Customers expect rapid response, which means the marketing automation system needs to present recommendations on the fly in email messages and on the website.
