Marketing Automation Software for Manufacturing Companies

Not only are distributors increasingly demanding more leads from manufacturers, but the manufacturers themselves are seeing an increase in end users coming to their website and researching, comparing, and making purchase decisions based on the available information. That's where having a marketing automation software comes in.

This isn’t email marketing from the early 2000s. It integrates email with your website and all of your other marketing efforts. Sure, you can still send email blasts as you expect. But with marketing automation, you’ll have the data available to identify and qualify leads based on their online actions. 

This technology lets you determine what stage of the buying process your customers are in, and guide them to the next stage until they become a customer or sales qualified lead. You’ll know their entire history with your company and can track how and when they interact with you.

Even if you are only focused on generating leads for your distributors, you still need a marketing automation platform. By executing an automated distributor workflow can guarantee you stay top of mind with every distributor in your network. This will keep them thinking of your product first instead of a competitor.

Implementing a marketing automation solution will dramatically increase the effectiveness of your current marketing strategies already in place. Although features can vary from platform to platform, below are some of the ways you could put marketing automation to use for your manufacturing company.

Visitor Identification

This isn't just about being able to see who is coming to your website, it's also about developing a deep understanding of how those users are interacting with your site.

By capturing behavioral information on each visit and integrating with your current CRM, email, social, Google Ads, and standard analytics, you can put together strategic and targeted campaigns with specific prospects or current accounts in mind.

You can even set real-time alerts for when a specific prospect visits a specific page.

Email

With visitor identification research in mind, it's now simple to run personalized email campaigns to segmented lists. From there, integrated analytics and metrics will help identify which emails are resonating with your target audience. Automated marketing allows you to choose from a wide range of text and HTML templates or build your own with a simple drag and drop editor – no coding knowledge required. And managing all of your campaigns is quick, easy and done in one spot.
