96% of visitors on your website are not ready to make a purchase (Marketo). Lead Nurturing allows preparing contacts to performing such action. Properly prepared Lead Nurturing program can increase the conversion rate on acquired leads by up to 50%, while reducing the cost of obtaining Lead to 30% (Forrester Research). As part of Lead Nurturing, you can send automatic “welcome emails”, as well as create so-called Drip Programs allowing to create fine-tuned cycles to reach individual customers, different cycles designed for small and medium firms and still others for corporate customers.

 

By using Lead Nurturing, you’ll take care of relationships not only with current customers, but also with those who are not ready to buy yet, and you will save the time of the sales department allowing them to  take care of the best prospects in the first place.

 

Lead scoring

Scoring are points that are assigned for specific activities and actions, such as:

  • visits on website
  • opening and clicking e-mails
  • interactions in social media
  • purchase

and many more.

The system automatically measures the engagement of individual contacts. With such data, you will identify leads closest to a purchase and focus your actions on them or you will address a campaign to your loyal customers.

 

Segmentation

Each of your clients is different. It’s good to segment the database into groups of recipients with similar characteristics, for example the same interests, in order to perform more effective actions.The segmentation takes place by assigning tags. Thanks to this solution, you can distinguish contacts that:

  • visited the URL, e.g. price list – a tag automatically assigned after a contact’s visit on a particular website will inform you about their interest in the pricing plan thereby allowing you to schedule a phone call or send an email containing detailed data and eventually the system will  draw the attention of the sales department to individual potential customers
  • made a first purchase – you will be able to react to such action by delivering a discount coupon or sending a ‘welcome’ email appreciating them
  • are inhabitants of a given city/country – in this way it is easier to match the delivered content and personalize the message even more effectively.

 

Lead Generation

Thanks to various forms enabling acquiring contacts, you will increase the number of leads generated. Forms that allow you to download a file or register for events, pop-ups and sidebars, landing pages generators and many more will allow you to gain contacts by means of all their interaction with the content provided by the company. In addition, progressive forms will assure you that users are asked to provide only data that is not in the system. This way, respecting their time, you will increase the chance of obtaining valuable information.

 

Dynamic one-to-one emails

These are emails containing different, unique content, for each of the recipients. They can be sent automatically after meeting certain conditions and they can include products viewed by the customer during the last visit, bought or matching the ones watched or bought.
