No doubt most of them claim that adapting to new conditions may turn out too complicated or expensive and will require particular engagement. Implementing automation to an organization doesn’t need the amount of resources it could seemingly look like. Automation itself doesn’t have to be complicated. If we reflect on how many daily activities we perform automatically, we come to a conclusion: we are accompanied by automation every day, even though we don’t not realize this fact. We regularly pay the bills, make bank transfers to saving accounts and review monthly revenues and expenses.
What we have to know when we look into marketing automation? There’s just one first impression
New subscribers are particularly precious for quite many reasons. Firstly, acquiring each and every contact is costly and time-consuming and engagement is another story. They are usually interested in content and the fact that they click in our email is more likely than in the case of our long time subscribers. That’s why, it’s worth to put and effort and time into for instance ‘welcome message’, which is an automatic initial note every user should receive after registering on the website or filling in a form.
