As a marketer, have you ever felt that you are doing a lot of little things that are extremely important for your
marketing activities to go smoothly but you end up spending too much time on it? Well, if the answer is yes -
then you have probably not looked at marketing automation at all.
So, what is marketing automation? Simply put, it is the process of automating your routine marketing tasks and
measuring them, thereby reducing manual work and saving plenty of time. According to reports, 49% of
marketers use at least one tool or app for marketing automation in 2019 and this industry is only set to grow
further.

BETTER TARGETING
Generating high-quality leads is the ultimate goal for most businesses and this is only done if you are targeting
the right people. With marketing automation, you get a better understanding of your potential customers and
their behavior. You can also track the path of your potential customers on the website to understand their
interests and use that in your communication and targeting. For instance, if a user is researching the pricing of
your product, this might indicate that he is in the consideration stage of the buying process. You can use this
information to send them offers to help them make the decision quickly.
In today’s competitive world, there are numerous businesses offering what you are offering. It is becoming
increasingly di cult to stand out from the crowd. There are multiple ads thrown at customers and the choice
of choosing your product or you as a service provider really comes down to a few things - great product, better
pricing or just understanding them really well! Well, while marketing automation may not be able to help you
with the rst two, it can certainly help you with the last one. With marketing automation tools, you can
understand and segment your customers and send them personalized messages that are of interest to them.
This automatically increases open rates and engagement. It also improves the chances of the lead becoming a
loyal customer sooner rather than later.
What determines whether or not a campaign is a success is the data! We have all heard of this famous phrase -
'numbers don't lie’ right? That is exactly what you need to be looking at to understand the effectiveness of your
marketing strategy. It gives you a single platform and a dashboard that has all the data about your campaign.
This tells you what is really working and what is not so you can tweak and move your budgets accordingly.

incredibly valuable money.

strong relationship with your customers. This not only increases the lifetime value of the customer but also
nurtures potential customers better and shortens the lead cycle. Additionally, it also gives valuable insights
about your audience and improves the performance of marketing strategies

USER EXPERIENCE
First things rst, while choosing a marketing automation tool for your company, it is important to see how easy
and simple it is to use. Check how intuitive it is before taking the call. Imagine, trying to set up a complex email
funnel and the tool has all the steps hidden. It makes the process di cult and you end up spending too much
time. The rst time set is always going to be hard, don't make it harder by choosing a tool that does not have an
easy interface.
PRICE
There are multiple tools that offer similar services and functionality. So always list down what you need and
check the price of multiple tools before you take a call. Most automation tools have three or four plans to
choose from.
When you are setting a new tool, you will always end up having multiple questions. So having a strong customer
support team that can help you navigate through is essential. Most companies offer some technical support,
but be sure to ask if the support is available 24/7 or if there is a dedicated account manager for your business.
Most marketing platforms have different features (we have covered this as well in the section below) and it is
important to understand them before you choose one. Put down what you need before you make a decision. It
is also advisable to check if the tool integrates with all your existing technologies.
Our top picks, considering all the above factors, would be WebEngage (for B2C) and Hubspot (for B2B)
