Engaging every category of this database in a timely manner can play a crucial role in your operational efficiencies, patient care, relationship-building, and bottom line, so how can you maximize these opportunities without taxing your team? Let’s talk about the power of marketing automation.
What Is Marketing Automation?
Ever bought a product and immediately received an email not only thanking you for your purchase but alerting you to related goods and services that may also fit your needs? How about a text reminding you of your upcoming air travel along with three tips to trim the wait at your boarding gate? These scenarios can enhance the relationship between the business and you. They’re marketing automation in action!
At its core, marketing automation is a computer-aided, database-cultivation system that delivers custom information to consumers and calls your target audience to action based on:
- Your specific business goals
- Your audiences’ product and service needs
- Events and other circumstances that trigger engagement opportunities
This ongoing engagement, or nurture campaign, can reach across various communication channels — email, social media, text, and websites — with messaging tailored to existing and prospective patients. Plus, it’s working for you whether your office is open or closed and whether your team is available or helping patients and their loved ones, saving your practice valuable time.
Why Does Marketing Automation Matter?
As consumers and communication continually change, businesses must evolve to leverage these changes. Private audiology practices and brick-and-mortar stores are neither dead nor dying — many have simply forgotten to evolve. That’s where the power of marketing automation comes in.
Rather than a practice being limited to providing remarkable patient experiences only within its four walls, marketing automation allows it to:
- Deliver that remarkability before the patient even steps into the office for the first time
- Continue delivering that positive, brand-reinforcing experience long after the patient leaves
- Achieve better hearing-health outcomes and gain more opportunities for patient advocacy in the practice’s behalf
- Reach target audiences where they are — not where they were — using the effective communication practices of today
Marketing automation gets results across industries. For example:
- A well-known bank and brokerage company saw over $100 million in closed deals and a 500% increase in engagement.
- A major health care products and equipment manufacturer gained $2 billion in opportunities that resulted in $600 million in success.
- A window-treatment business upped its online click-through rate by 140% and reduced its cost per booking by 79%.
