Customer journey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine manually sending emails to all your subscribers. You are bound to make mistakes, and the pressure of keeping up with each subscriber is massive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>69% of marketers say their overall customer journey is partially or mostly automated and 9% say theirs is fully automated<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/marketing-automation-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Finance Online<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of marketing automation, you guide your audience from leads to customers to loyal ambassadors. You save a massive amount of workload and can communicate with the right person at the right time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decide exactly what you want your subscribers to receive and choose the right time.

The most popular ones are newsletter signups, lead nurturing, onboarding programs, promotional and seasonal campaigns, reengagement campaigns, or loyalty programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> You can also use automations to update your contact data and send information from Loopify to your systems and vice versa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e4e4e4\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Start with the basic automations and fill gaps in your communication. <br><br>Don&#8217;t put everything in one big automation. These will be complicated to track and more prone to errors. Go for separate automated campaigns and, if necessary, interconnect them by adding contacts from one campaign to another.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2.\u00a0 Dynamic content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best perks of marketing automation is dynamic content. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/dynamic-email-content\/\">Dynamic content<\/a> allows you to create and send personalized messages to all your subscribers at once.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>More than 6 in 10 sales and communications professionals said the main benefit of marketing automation is improved targeting of messages<\/p><cite><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/marketing-automation-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Finance Online<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic content allows you to use the data you have on your customers, like past purchases, email, and website interactions, to deliver tailored communication and stop targeting all your subscribers with the same message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/email-with-variables-1024x457.png\" alt=\"Email with variables.\" class=\"wp-image-2562\" width=\"489\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/email-with-variables-1024x457.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/email-with-variables-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/email-with-variables-768x343.png 768w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/email-with-variables-600x268.png 600w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/email-with-variables-585x261.png 585w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/email-with-variables.png 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of variables and content segmentation, you work on a single email. When you click send, the solution replaces all that information and delivers a personalized message to each subscriber.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. Clean and updated database<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing and manually keeping a clean CRM database is challenging, time-consuming, and nearly impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with inaccurate data affects your marketing goals and objectives. The quality of your communication will be compromised, leading to a poor reputation and loss of customer trust and loyalty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A clean and updated list is a prerequisite to sending relevant communication to your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing automation solutions help you store all the data you have on your customers. You can sync and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.loopify.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360001457513-API-entry-block\">automate the process of sending data from your CRM solutions<\/a> and keep it updated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With automated contact list imports and updates, you can rest assured that the information you have on your customers is correct and up to date. You can also safely store all new information from forms and surveys and keep track of leads, store consent, preferences, and any other information that is important to your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Segmented contact lists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to correctly storing contact data, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/support.loopify.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360001185233-Segment-your-contacts\">keep your data organized and grouped into segments<\/a>. Businesses can optimize their targeting by dividing their contacts into segments and sending relevant information to the right person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the best way to organize and divide your contacts so that it makes sense for your business, whether that&#8217;s by demographics, preferences, engagement, and interaction. Whatever works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>5.\u00a0 Lead acquisition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most marketing automation tools offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/landing-pages-guide\/\">landing pages and forms<\/a> that you can use to get new leads and grow your customer base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share your landing pages via paid ads, on social media profiles, your website, and blog. Use subscription forms and landing pages where people can download content in exchange for their information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/loopify-feedback-form-952x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2249\" width=\"618\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/loopify-feedback-form-952x1024.png 952w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/loopify-feedback-form-279x300.png 279w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/loopify-feedback-form-768x826.png 768w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/loopify-feedback-form-1427x1536.png 1427w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/loopify-feedback-form-600x646.png 600w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/loopify-feedback-form-585x630.png 585w, https:\/\/www.loopify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/loopify-feedback-form.png 1734w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use QR codes and SMS keywords in your campaigns and incentivize people to opt-in to your communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>80% of marketers saw an increase in the number of leads after using marketing automation software<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invespcro.com\/blog\/marketing-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Invesp<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Add leads to a segment and use that in a campaign where you introduce them to your business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>6<\/strong>.
