Using Marketing Automation Systems Helps You Build A Bigger Business

By Daphne Bowen


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.

The computer started the automatic revolution as it made many things easier and better looking. Mail merge helped print individual form letters, personalized in a way that the typewriter had always took so long to do. The stack of mail still needed to go to the post office, with the appropriate amount of postage and responses took days if not weeks to document.

The way to access all of the automation that is waiting for you to use is through the Internet. The ability to market to the entire world will make anyone looking for wealth, through marketing, take notice. Gaining customers from all over the world makes the efforts you made, in your neighborhood at your corner store, pale in comparison.

A blog or website is absolutely necessary when setting up a business, here. You need to have a lot of content on that site and automation can be one of the tools you use. There is software that will scour many other sites and article directories for articles to include. All of this will help you become an authority figure in your niche and help the search engines find you.

The major automated system that is critical for relationship building is an auto responder. Many marketers will not consider setting up a campaign without one. It is a piece of computer code that installs a capture form on your site. For value received, such as a free report or article, a visitor will enter their email address. This belongs to that list you hear about and this auto responder sends emails to this list on a regular schedule without anything else coming from you.

Since people will not buy from or do business with someone they do not trust or even know, the emails that will be sent out fulfill this function. The system will automatically send emails dealing with new information, new products or updates that assist the potential clients to solve some issue. This relationship building function is able to do this as a set it and forget it system which makes it possible to work on other tasks while emails are whirling back and forth.

Some of the other systems available at a reasonable cost or even, in some cases, free are websites that will submit articles that you write to directories and other websites. These articles are a low cost way to get people interested enough to come to your site. This will get them interested in leaving their email address, so this whole thing starts, again.

The amount of time you spend in productive activities, apart from those that are automated allows you to create the wealth that you should be making. Those automated things happen while you are busy with the more productive side of things. All of this means you can spend your time working on the next big launch and going to the bank.
