Marketing Software: Using CRM in Your Marketing Campaign

Marketing Software

Marketing software is often exactly what businesses need to add a quantitative edge to their campaign. If you're struggling to generate leads or track the results of your marketing campaign, then using CRM software is probably just what you're looking for.

Email automation

Email marketing is still the most effective online marketing practice, with just one caveat -- you have to approach it correctly. If you just send arbitrary emails out whenever you remember you have a newsletter, you'll never make any meaningful progress.

With CRM software, you can automate your email marketing campaign. You can set triggers so you send general emails out to subscribers in a timely manner.

 

Track metrics

Not tracking the results of your campaign will always end up in failure. You'll never learn from your mistakes, see what's effective, or understand if you're making any progress.

Business 2 Community explains how integrating CRM can resolve these problems:

"Having a CRM integrated with your marketing allows you to see which of your contacts are opening emails, what websites they are visiting, webinars attended and so forth. You can’t improve your marketing without these metrics. As marketers, we must understand the sales cycle and how our work fits into it."

You'll have greater access to data than ever before. This is worth its weight in gold regarding your marketing campaign, since you'll be able to retain customers and attract prospects better.

 

Align marketing and sales

And finally, using CRM software is an easy way to align your marketing and sales teams. By instructing both departments to use and refer to the software, you'll improve their communication and awareness of their counterpart. This alone is extremely effective for your marketing campaign, since sales representatives will have a better understanding of your company's brand when talking to prospective customers.

Your Marketing Process: What Are Your Ideas?

Marketing Process

Behind every great marketing strategy and marketing process is a great concept. You cannot have a successful marketing process if your concept is not up to par. However, sometimes companies can take things to the extreme and make things extremely complicated. If you try to be too creative, you may actually confuse the people you are trying to bring in.

In order to avoid creating a marketing campaign that confuses your audience, you should try not to make the following mistakes:

Going Off Course

You do not want to use an idea that customers would never expect from you. You want your customers to see things they know you are capable of bringing to them. You do not want them to think your entire mission and vision has changed. We understand you want something that will grab their attention, but get their attention with ideas they would expect from you.

Confusion

Have you ever seen a commercial that you did not understand until someone told you what it meant? Sometimes companies use commercials that are a bit over the top and a little strange. Unusual commercials can be effective, but make no sense to people until they have to be explained by someone. Before trying out one of those ideas, you should test it out on your team and other co-workers.
