Successfully delivering appropriate messages helps you lead customers step by step through their buying cycle. Marketing automation enables you to set up a workflow of highly personalized marketing messages designed to convert website visitors into leads and then your new leads into paying customers. 

In addition to increasing leads, marketing automation systems can help increase cross sales and upsells and improve customer care processes, turning your customers into active bands who will be ready to recommend you.

5 Steps to Marketing Automation Success 

 

  1. Identify Your Audience- Before you can start creating your emails, autoresponders, workflow messages and landing pages you need to know your audience. Create buyer personas to help you to understand how to create content that address your customer’s specific needs and challenges.
  2. Sales and Marketing Alignment – Your marketing automation campaign should be aligned to your sales processes. Recording every point of engagement to an online CRM will provide detailed customer profiles for your sales team to successfully nurture leads through their buying cycle.
  3. Create Valuable, Helpful Content – Delivering the right message that appeals to your target audience will not only drive an engaging automation process, it will also qualify your leads from the start. So be creative, informative and focused.
  4. Multi-Channel Lead Nurturing – Effective marketing automation campaigns will feature a multi-channel approach with touch points including dynamic website content, email, social media, retargeting and interaction from your sales team.
  5. Test, Tweak, Repeat – The beauty of digital marketing is that it provides a constant flow of data to assist you in optimizing campaign results. A consistent program of monitoring and improving workflows will increase your overall advantage.

Here’s Your Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist

Here’s Your Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist 

When discussing your digital marketing strategy, we can’t forget about all the other basic business elements that will contribute to your plan of action. Understanding your “why”, having a polished elevator pitch, defining your buyer persona and knowing your competitive advantage are crucial concepts to take into consideration before implementing your digital strategy. 

According to The Digital Minds Book by WSI, building your plan of action requires answering important questions first. Here’s what should be on your digital strategy checklist: 

 

Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist 

 

  • Building Your List and Your Database – This is where you’re going to nurture your prospect and customer base. Choose a platform that allows you to monitor every stage of your customer’s journey all the way to the sales pipeline.
  • Building Your Core Message – Think of this as a story your brand needs to tell the customers so they better understand your services or products. The more you focus on one main idea you’re trying to sell the better!
  • Defining Goals Within Your Strategy – Your marketing message should align with goals you’re trying to accomplish. Whether it’s generating more leads and sales, gaining authority and relevance in your industry or simply nurturing relationships and connections you already have, defining your goals will help you develop a more accurate brand messaging later on.
  • Defining the Channels – Each channel requires a different format so be selective when trying to find the right platform to carry your message. A question you should ask yourself here is: What are the digital channels that you will use to reach each buyer persona?
  • Measuring Results – This is the final strategy element that is best utilized when paired with marketing automation tools that provide analytics on a regular basis.

How to Identify Your Ideal Customer Using a Buyer Persona

by

Buyer Persona

While digital marketing is a multi-faceted job, one of the most important responsibilities for us digital marketers is to know who we’re talking to. Without defining that perfect buyer persona in the beginning, it’s rather challenging to turn leads into loyal customers later on…

That being said, you can’t execute a successful digital marketing campaign without knowing your target market. Want to know how to identify your ideal customer? Here’s what you need to know first.

What Is a Buyer Persona?

According to Alan Cooper (a pioneer software developer), a buyer persona is a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer based on market research, customer demographics and behavior, real data about your existing customers, and your understanding of their motivations and challenges.

Whether you’re in the midst of developing a product or getting ready to launch a marketing campaign, we strongly recommend considering your buyer persona before you dive into this next step. There’s nothing worse you can do for your business than sending out the wrong messaging that doesn’t resonate with the people you want to do business with. However, if developed correctly, buyer personas will point you into the direction of customers who will bring you the most revenue on a long-term basis.

Identifying Your Ideal Customer Using a Buyer Persona

Great tools to start with are Google Analytics and Facebook Audience Insights. Those existing demographics can point you in the right way of who your buyer personas might be. Pay attention to the characteristics such as gender, age, visitor location and their interests.

Another way to identify your ideal customer is to review your existing customer base. Can you identify the contacts that decided to do business with you in the past? This is important to keep in mind because you don’t want customers who are just interested in seeing your content. You want those who are making purchasing decisions!

Part of the process of creating a strong buyer persona is to understand your unique selling points. How does your ideal customer engage in your sales process? What can you do to help them solve their problems? What about your content? Is there a call to action? Those are all questions you should be asking yourself before nailing down your ideal customer.

5 Key Components to Effective Content Marketing for Your Business

Creating fresh and engaging content on a consistent basis may be an intimidating prospect for any overwhelmed business owner. However, if you take the time to create a marketing plan and content publishing calendar, the results can be rewarding.

Search engines are hungry for new relevant content to serve up to searchers and those businesses that post content that best matches keywords and search terms will have a greater chance of making it to the front page, which should be every company’s goal.

While the top Google listing still gets about 1/3 of all clicks, the organic results earning the 2nd, 3rd, and 4thspot now receive the other 63% of the clicks, leaving only 4% of clicks for anything lower. [Via Business 2 Community]
