Marketing Automation is the well-functioning machine that ensures your customers remain loyal \u2013 a cornerstone of any customer club. With Marketing Automation, you can target your customers at a time that makes the most sense, both to them and to you by way of the revenue created through your Email Marketing. MarketingPlatform has all the tools needed for effective Marketing Automation, enabling automated campaigns across various channels.\n\nYou can respond intelligently to any action, from emails, SMS and the web.\n\nWe help your business achieve an even better bottom line. Marketing Automation tools are included in all subscriptions. We call these features Automated Flows and Intelligent Content.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243;]<h3>How does Marketing Automation work?<\/h3>\n\nUsing Marketing Automation, you can set up flows that automatically send Email Marketing campaigns to the subscribers on your contact list. And while it may sound complicated, it\u2019s actually quite straightforward and is something that can contribute very significantly to your business.\n \nIn the past, the common practice in email marketing was to send out newsletters at selected times because there were no other tools. With Marketing Automation you now have opportunities that target your customers much more creatively and effectively \u2013 and at the same time, you get more time to focus on other important tasks in your businesses.\n \nTypically, you see higher conversion rates with Marketing Automation than with ordinary email marketing campaigns.\n \nWhether your business is B2C, B2B or something completely different Marketing Automation is very relevant for you to use.\n\nGenerally speaking, there are three fundamental components in the Marketing Automation process. 1. Data must be collected so that you can set up triggers that automatically send the email. 2. Set up the rules of how you want to target the person. 3. Finally, the content itself must be prepared.\n\nMake a strategy about how you would like to target your customers with your email marketing and at what times. A very basic example of Marketing Automation is to set up a welcome flow when a person subscribes to your newsletter. In this case, the recipient is already in a mindset to act and you know he or she has shown interest in your business.\n\nA few additional examples of Marketing Automation flows:\n \n1. A person has subscribed to the newsletter and subsequently makes a purchase on your webshop\n2. If the customer has made a purchase for less than 100 euro, the customer will receive an email with products of type 1. If the customer has purchased for more than 100 euro, the customer will receive an email with type 2 products.\n\n1. The customer has a birthday on the 25th of January\n2. On the day of their birthday, a personalised email will be sent automatically that includes a special incentive such as a free gift or 20% discount\n\n1. The person has subscribed to the newsletter but is yet to make a purchase on the webshop\n2. Through a series of automated mails, you send information to the person which creates a trust-relationship between you and the customer, which ultimately convinces the customer to buy on your webshop. \nAfter the purchase, the customer is moved to another Marketing Automation flow &#8211; for people who have purchased on the webshop.

Marketing Automation does not need to be particularly intelligent, however, the timing and order of messages are often set up by the sender.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligent content with MarketingPlatform can have many faces.<\/p>\n<p>It can come directly from an external source, such as webshops and products.<\/p>\n<p>The products can be selected for the individual, based on their past behaviour on the website, their purchase history, or just from their interaction with the newsletter itself.<\/p>\n<p>In MarketingPlatform, the features touched on above are called External Content, <a href=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/dynamic-content\/\">Dynamic Content<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/relevant-content\/\">Relevant Content<\/a>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243;]<h3>Listen, learn and react with Marketing Automation<\/h3>\n \nBack in the day creating individual customer relations was easy. The local butcher knew his customers personally, and he could target his spoken message directly to Mrs. X.\n \nToday, the number of available outlets has grown, and in many areas, the butcher has moved into the supermarket, the mall or into large shopping centres. Nowadays, we experience a much more significant flow of customers, where personal customer knowledge has become almost impossible for a business.\n \nThe faces of customers are blurred on the Internet. They hide behind differing kinds of screens. This then, calls for tracking and systems for targeting messages.\n \nMarketingPlatform is a system where you as a sender can learn from the behaviour of your recipients. We call it Contact Update. MarketingPlatform learns from the clicks made  by a recipient in a newsletter or text message and also receives behavioural data from webshops, websites, finance systems, CRM solutions or other sources.\n \nThis collected behaviour can be translated directly into intelligent flows of campaigns distributed by email or SMS. Alternatively, the data can be used in other channels \u2013 a variation of real omnichannel marketing.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243;]<h3>Marketing Automation with welcome flows, campaign flows and other flows<\/h3>\n\nThere is nothing like a warm welcome. It works in the physical world &#8211; and it works in the digital world.\n \nSo, give a warm welcome to a new contact, a prospective customer, or perhaps a customer who has just purchased or visited your service by sending a targeted mail or an SMS message. Learn more about from where they have subscribed, what they have bought or where they came from.\n \nYou as the sender should collect and enrich their profile with this new information, based on the action they take in the first message from MarketingPlatform. And at the same time, it is easy to build segments for the various interests that this information reveals.\n \nIf you sell clothes, for example, clothes for men, women and children \u2013 it would be relevant to target the messages to the needs of the recipient. Tell MarketingPlatform that you sell items within these categories and set up flows that respond to the recipients\u2019 behaviour. If a recipient clicks on the \u201cman\u201d category, this can create a new flow, simply because a change of category is made. If the recipient is already in the category, a deeper targeting can be made, for example, with the product category.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_class=&#8221;ressourcer-signup&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.9&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#dee7f1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;7%||7%||true|&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;12%||&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;17%||&#8221; top_divider_style=&#8221;asymmetric2&#8243; top_divider_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; top_divider_height=&#8221;60px&#8221; global_module=&#8221;21281&#8243;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221;]<h2>Try MarketingPlatform for free for 14 days<\/h2>\n<p>The trial period is free and expires after 14 days if you do not wish to continue.<br \/>When you sign up, you also receive our educational flow on a series of emails &#8211; and our newsletter.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243; width_tablet=&#8221;94%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;92%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243; width=&#8221;60%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;94%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/book-demo\/\"><div class=\"bookdemobtn\">Book Demo<\/div><\/a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/free-trial\/\"><div class=\"signupbtn\">Create Free Account<\/div><\/a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; max_width=&#8221;768px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;768px&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243;]<div class=\"awards-align\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><div style=\"float:left; width:14%; text-align:right;   margin-right: 2%;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/primotours.png\" width=\"56\" style=\"margin:10px 20px 20px 0px;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><div style=\"float:left; width:20%; text-align:center;    margin-right: 4%;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/med24-gray.png\" width=\"100\" style=\"margin:20px 0px 20px 10px;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><div style=\"float:left; width:18%;    margin-right: 1%;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cykelpartner-logo.png\" width=\"180\" style=\"margin:29px 20px 20px 0px;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><div style=\"float:left; width:20%; text-align:center;     margin-right: 1%;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/aldi-grey.png\" width=\"50\" style=\"margin:10px 0px 20px 0px;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><div style=\"float:left; width:18%;      margin-right: 2%;  text-align: center;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/verisure-logo.png\" width=\"120\" style=\"margin:18px 0px 20px 0px;\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/div>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marketing Automation Use MarketingPlatform to strengthen your business with Marketing Automation.Use MarketingPlatform to strengthen your business with Marketing Automation.
