Marketing Automation Is The Ticket To Wealth

By Tammie Caldwell


The business you are in and the products or services you offer may be off or online. There may even be cross over or overlapping sales and customers. Generally the off line efforts of merchandising will take the look of direct market appeals through the postal service and phone calls. This is not truly marketing automation except in the case where other companies offer this service to you.

Off line automation will take the role of a company who can create and mail direct pieces for mass consumption. They will work with you to write appropriate mailing items that get your message out in such a way as to enable people to visit and do business with you. They will have the mailing lists they charge you for using and they can mail everything at a discount because of their bulk rates.

An online business, as you may want to start, needs this kind of automatic merchandising. This is easily accomplished, by you, online. There are also companies who will offer to do this for you, however, there are all sorts of programs and software, available, to handle this automated handling of your advertising.

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.

The real beginning of the automatic marketing is the auto responder. This is a program or stand alone software that receives email addresses from visitors. It then sends out pre written messages, every day or so that continues the sales talk. It offers additional information and helps you place the idea about you and your product in front of them all of the time. This is automatic selling which is what you need.

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 programs are set up to post your ad copy to paid or free ad boards. These can be accessed simply by writing some ad copy, press the link and they fly out to all of the websites included in the system. The usual use for this is to sell to other marketers, however, there are other websites, such Craigs list or Backpage that can be posted on for all to see.

Having a website or blog gets everything started as you need a place for your business to have a home. Using all of the tools that get your message out to potential customers gets them to visit or come back to your website. By making all of this as automatic as possible, you can stay focused on performing your core business instead of trying to chase people.
