Email Marketing Automation
Email marketing is a great thing to do if you want to build a database. Traditionally, companies slowly build a database, then use email marketing to reach out to potential customers from a database list. We turn the tables a bit. Of course, you need people’s contact information to reach them,but often a marketing department collects contact information and simply hands it over to the sales department. But this short-sighted practice bypasses massive conversion opportunity. Leads should be qualified, or optimized, before handed over to sales. Lead nurturing (building and developing a relationship between the company and a prospect) and utilization of The Lead Scoring Method is proven to gain more sales at higher margins.
Example 1:
A newsletter is sent out in the awareness phase. Depending on the click-through rate and clicked topics of interest, points are assigned to the lead. If a lead achieves 5 points when clicking on product A and 4 points when clicking on the topic of security, then that prospect has self-identified as a specific persona, andsubsequently receives tailored and predefined information.
Example 2:
A customer buys a product for which a service is due eight months later. Shortly before the service is due, the customer receives specific information such as “Your service is due, get a 20% discount.

Editorial planning
The basis for content planning is the previously created concept. The editorial plan specifies target persons, topics, tasks, costs, and deadlines.
