When it comes to marketing, the concept of automation can be met with a bit of angst. After all, marketing automation sounds robotic, inauthentic and stiff — all things we want to avoid in our marketing.
But, marketing automation can actually be a very good thing for your business.
We’re not suggesting you put your marketing on autopilot. Far from it, in fact.
Instead, marketing automation is more about smart marketing that delivers just the right message at just the right time for your customers. When done well, marketing automation can feel like magic for your customers.
Isn’t that what we all want to create?
If so, you’ll want to list today’s show and we’ll tell you how to do it. In this episode, we take the mystery out of marketing automation and break down the basics of how to do it right.
Here’s what we cover:
- What is marketing automation anyway? We break down the definition so you know exactly what we’re talking about.
- Why marketing automation should be a component of your marketing toolkit.
- Ideas and examples for the best ways to automate your marketing.
- There is such a thing as too much WE talk about what that looks like.
- And it wouldn’t be an episode of The Marketing Huddle if we didn’t discuss our favorite tools to get the job done. Discover which tools you can use for marketing automation.
