Marketing Automation Helps You Stay Focused On Your Business

By Tammie Caldwell


Whatever your business is, advertising it is your main pursuit. Getting the word out to people who might be interested is the only way that you are going to succeed. There are many ways to accomplish this and they are all dependent on the medium you use. If you are primarily a brick and mortar business, in other words, off line, you will concentrate in off line ways of doing this. Marketing automation will look different than a totally online presence will.

Some automated companies will offer to handle all of the market pieces you need. They will work with your representative to create and write ad copy and get them mailed out to potential customers. They will have a large list of names, broken down into categories so your pieces will be sent to targeted individuals or companies that will probably be interested in what you have to offer.

If your business is online, most of the work will be yours to do, at least to get it set up. There are firms who will do all of the necessary work, however, there are a large number of programs and software that can do all of the advertising automatically, which gives you the time to work on your offers. Looking at some of these programs and tools will give you a head start in understanding them.

One of the first tools and systems you will need to use is a website or, more and more popularly, a blog. This is the portal on which you will make your product or service come alive. The content that will be here will let the readers know what you have for them and how they can put it to use to help them.

On this website or blog will also be a portal for the reader or potential buyer to fill out their name and email address. When they do, this information will go to a program you have signed up for which is an auto responder, the second tool in this automation system. The auto responder will take the email and begin sending messages to the potential customer on a prescribed schedule.

Many other automatic systems are available, such as the content management systems in place on a great many websites. This system keeps fresh content coming to your blog, based on the keywords you are working on. Many writers work for these companies and they strive to ensure new copy comes to you as scheduled.

Other automatic programs, software or tools that can utilized is a way to post advertising on the many free and paid advertising websites on the Internet. Writing some ad copy, or having it done for you and simply clicking the mouse will send it out to all of the websites that accept these posts. This is used, primarily for selling to marketers, however, many of these are set up for consumers as well.

Getting that website or blog going is the first thing and that can even be automated with many programs that assist you in doing this. The many tools that assist you in gaining emails for sending out messages that continue into the future is the heart of this endeavor. All of the Gurus use these tools and others they create themselves and you should use them too.
