Marketing, in the old days, meant a lot of mail through the use of a typewriter, pens, paper and long waits at the post office. Direct mail was the best way, for the most part, of getting a lot of information out to a lot of people. In these more modern times, marketing automation systems can be used and, indeed, must be if you are to gain market share and grow your business.
One of the first of these systems, of course, is the computer. It made possible the computing of things that you used to have to do on a pad of paper. It also made it possible to print individual letters or labels with mail merge so as to save you some time in your mailing procedure. You still had to get them in the mail and you could nothing about finding out if the address was bad, unless you paid more for the service.
Turning your attention to automation, we can thank the Internet for accessibility to all of the services, software and assistance you can count on every day. This World Wide Web makes all of this automation possible and through it, the acquisition of the potential clients to which you are marketing. This information sharing and ecommerce platform opens all of the options you need for success.
Since things are offered for sale on websites or blogs, they must have a lot of information to convince people to learn about you and make a decision to buy. This means some of the automated processes you have access to will help you populate your websites with content. The software that does this can be set up and it will scour already published material and select some for inclusion on your site.
Another, some say the most important, software, often web based, is the auto responder. This is a snippet of code that is uploaded onto your server that collects email addresses from people through what is called a capture form. This is critical as this is the beginning of the process of list building.
This email list is your pipeline to them in a relationship building way. This system takes an entire set of emails and delivers them, one at a time, as scheduled, so they can begin to trust you enough to buy what you recommend. This is that relationship building that delivers value as long as you do not try to force anything on them.
Other automatic systems can submit articles to various article directories and to other blogs allowing this. Article marketing has become and is still very effective as a low cost tool to bring people to your site to get captured by the auto responder. Software that can submit advertising pieces to free and paid advertising sites will help you get noticed as well.
Many of the other automated systems that are available can help you spy on your competitors. Some of these will look for the appropriate keywords for all of the search engine optimization efforts you enter into that need focused keywords and phrases to work properly and for your benefit. When you can use these automated systems to build for you, you can spend time doing other things, such as going to the bank.
