6 Key Capabilities Your Marketing Automation Tool Should Do For You
Putting marketing automation into play for your company is critical because delivering personalized, connected experiences is the only way to attract prospects and retain customers. But deploying the solution requires a bit of work. As Digital Market News also emphasizes, understanding the components and the nuances is key.
Providing the right content at the right time to prospects and customers according to where they are in their buying journeys is also key. It’s vital to deliver convenient, always-on tailored messaging through the channels your prospects and customers prefer. Otherwise, you will quickly lose their attention—and their business.
A Guild for Your Selection Journey
To solve these challenges, it’s important to find the marketing automation solution that most effectively meets your requirements and enables you to leverage prospect and customer data across channels and to streamline how fast your campaigns go to market. Other key criteria to seek include the ability to create 1-to-1 personalized campaigns.

The ROI of Marketing Automation
No matter which marketing automation solution you choose to deploy, if done correctly, the investment will generate a significant return. The marketing team will produce a greater number of relevant leads, and your sales team will close on a higher percentage of opportunities. At the same time, internal resources can be diverted from the manual tasks that your solution automates—and focused on more strategic initiatives.
And the personalized experiences you deliver will strengthen your brand among prospects and customers, regardless of whether they buy your products and services. You will be able to show them you are sensitive to and understand where they are at in their journeys. And that will give you mindshare in their future buying considerations.
