MARKETING TOOLS
In a perfect world, leads are ready to make a purchase as soon as you’ve contacted them. One message and boom. You have a sale. Sadly, that is hardly EVER the case. All consumers are different, some leads might need constant communication in order to make the full conversion you’re looking for. While others its better to space out conversation with a couple days. Some consumers perhaps don’t even check their emails that often. So with this problem, marketers have come up with a solution to deliver timely information to nurture leads down the sales funnel with Drips marketing.
What is DRIP marketing?
Drip marketing is a strategy marketers use to continually deliver material to customers over a period of time. Drips is known for its long-term sales strategy. This method has helped businesses across different verticals to improve their communication with their end users. Its benefits include timely information, lead nurturing and easy automation. Drips programs can be fully customized and can get creative depending on you.
The most common type of Drip campaigns are email communication. Marketers start off by creating an email campaign to send to their end users. Depending on the type of actions a user can make, a follow-up email will be sent to all users. But this second email will be different to users. Consumers that haven’t even opened the email will get a different email with a better offer in the subject line. This will entice them to open the email and review what you’re offering. While users that opened but did not interact with the email will get another one to remind them to complete the conversion.
Generally, once a lead opts to receive information from an organization they start a series of welcome emails. Usually they are delivered immediately. It is then followed up by a series of emails based on their behavior, such as visiting a landing page, completing a purchase, add items to a cart, etc. All these actions are tracked within an interface to review how traffic is reacting. And with this companies create incentive programs to give consumers that last push to complete the conversion.
When companies take full advantage of All-in-one marketing automation platforms, they start using the tools with purpose and efficacy to reach their desired audience and start seeing their sales grow.
The latest improvement in marketing is that you can use Drips with different communication channels. Not just Email! Consumers don’t just use email as a form of communication.
