Marketing, in the old days, meant a lot of mail through the use of a typewriter, pens, paper and long waits at the post office. Direct mail was the best way, for the most part, of getting a lot of information out to a lot of people. In these more modern times, marketing automation systems can be used and, indeed, must be if you are to gain market share and grow your business.
One of the first of these systems, of course, is the computer. It made possible the computing of things that you used to have to do on a pad of paper. It also made it possible to print individual letters or labels with mail merge so as to save you some time in your mailing procedure. You still had to get them in the mail and you could nothing about finding out if the address was bad, unless you paid more for the service.
The Internet is what makes all of the automation possible. The World Wide Web made it possible to market to the entire world and made it easier to accomplish. The acquisition of potential clients and the ability to build a relationship with them is in the offing. This is what the Internet was originally designed for, so you can use to your benefit, properly.
Since things are offered for sale on websites or blogs, they must have a lot of information to convince people to learn about you and make a decision to buy. This means some of the automated processes you have access to will help you populate your websites with content. The software that does this can be set up and it will scour already published material and select some for inclusion on your site.
Another, some say the most important, software, often web based, is the auto responder. This is a snippet of code that is uploaded onto your server that collects email addresses from people through what is called a capture form. This is critical as this is the beginning of the process of list building.
The relationship building that this list and the systems represent will help you stay on top of all of the people on that list. This helps them understand more about you and your product. These emails will go out, as you scheduled them when you set it up, and you can concentrate on something else to grow the pool of products you can offer them.
Other automatic systems can submit articles to various article directories and to other blogs allowing this. Article marketing has become and is still very effective as a low cost tool to bring people to your site to get captured by the auto responder. Software that can submit advertising pieces to free and paid advertising sites will help you get noticed as well.
The amount of time you spend in productive activities, apart from those that are automated allows you to create the wealth that you should be making. Those automated things happen while you are busy with the more productive side of things. All of this means you can spend your time working on the next big launch and going to the bank.
