Take advantage of data
Marketing Automation doesn’t create content for you but will give you the direction you should follow. Basically, the system operates as ‘a middleman’ between yourself and your clients. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of the benefits you can receive from suitably used data and analytics available in the program. Follow the effects and measure them in order to understand better and worse elements of your campaigns and fully adopt the tools you have.

Don’t SPAM your clients
Marketing Automation offers wide range of possibilities in the field of emailing, including hundreds of identical messages, not necessarily welcomed and well received by clients.

A newsletter and adjusting further activities to individual reactions to the initial message is great idea. It’s not enough to customize the name of the recipient to make the message better received. Ideally, you would personalize content entirely, securing attractive message for the client. Clients must feel that the message is dedicated for themselves.
