On Friday, April 17, 2015, Denver’s Social Marketing for Business group continues on its new, broader path with an expert panel on how to maximize opportunities with marketing automation.
Industry leader Oracle identifies the value proposition for marketing automation as the ability to, “easily manage the targeting, timing, and content of your outbound marketing messages in response to prospects’ actions and behaviors.”
“Personalization” of content and outbound marketing has been a topic for this group in the past. In April, 2015, we drill into the next level of this conversation, identifying the tools and best practices successful companies and organizations are using to identify and nurture leads, construct and implement individualized campaigns and integrate with customer management systems.
At its essence, marketing automation optimizes efficiency and opportunity in the conversion funnel and closes the gap between marketing and sales.
And the topic is timely. According to the recently-published State of Marketing Automation 2014 report by Regalix Research:
- 88% of marketers are either currently using or considering implementing marketing automation tools in the coming year.
- 69% of marketers who have not yet implemented marketing automation tools, plan to do so in 2015
Increasingly, people expect messaging personalized to themselves. Burst eNewsletters to which we subscribe open with our names. Facebook news feeds, online display advertisements and Google search results are presented to us based on personal characteristics and behavior. Digital properties like Amazon.com and Netflix make suggestions based on recent activity and long-term behavioral patterns. Hotels, restaurants, credit cards, telecommunications companies and airlines record our preferences and make suggestions based upon them. Preferences and behaviors not trending in the marketplace or of our “demographic,” but of each of us, individually.
