Move over Big Data. Marketing automation is the new buzzword with marketers. “Marketing Automation: Best Practices for the Management of B2B Digital Marketing Campaigns” confirms the obvious when it discloses that 46% of all B2B marketers have already adopted marketing automation solutions in some form or another, and another 20% are actively evaluating marketing automation platforms for suitability. About 62% of those already using marketing automation systems are “strong” adopters, and this figure is set to rise to 81% in 2014.
So why this influx in organizations utilizing marketing automation?
According to the study by BtoB, about 78% of marketers adopted a marketing automation solution primarily to generate more online leads. The next big reason was to track website visitors, with 77% of marketers adopting marketing automation primarily for this purpose. Approximately 70% of marketers adopted marketing automation to manage marketing campaigns and track lead activity, 69% of marketers adopt marketing automation to score and qualify leads and 62% of marketers adopt automated lead nurturing techniques.
Regardless of the purpose or objectives, the transition to marketing automation denotes a quantum leap — the same way people upgraded from horse carriages to motor vehicles. Marketing automation not only frees the marketer from mundane and routine activities, it also improves the accuracy of marketing efforts, enhancing both lead quality and insights that marketers obtain on their leads. Applied the right way, it also becomes an engine for adopting innovative practices in customer engagement at all stages in the marketing lifecycle.
