Marketing automation is not a new trend but integrating it with CRM systems is a growing one. New developments in machine learning, AI, and advanced marketing automation software now allow businesses to leverage CRM integration and marketing automations to increase sales productivity, reduce overhead, and scale businesses more quickly and efficiently than ever before. These vital integrations enable businesses to collect key information about their audience, develop better campaigns, and increase marketing ROI.
While traditional CRM focuses on gathering data on existing customers and managing sales funnels, marketing automations foster direct communication with potential and current consumers and target audiences to better inform future marketing campaigns and decisions. Since CRM predominantly drives sales and marketing automations inform lead generation, combining the two allows companies to convert insights from both systems to develop successful campaigns that create seamless consumer buying journeys.
With marketing automations helping 76% of companies to generate a return on investment within the first year and 44% of companies to generate ROI within six months, it’s clear that integrating these two systems into your marketing automation strategy can exponentially increase revenue. That’s because this integration can help with a wide range of marketing tasks, such as:
- Increasing and nurturing leads
- Driving conversions
- Improving customer engagement
- Upselling products
- Scheduling social media posts
- Personalizing post-purchase email campaigns
- Increasing marketing productivity and performance
- Improving campaign measurability
