Triggered email campaigns are helping companies of all sizes to sell better to their customers, improve conversion rates and retain customers better than ever before. Great, you’ve sold into a customer already, but do you have the tools in place to retain that customer?
It is a no-brainer that talking to your customers at the right time (often just as they are about to buy) is always going to improve your conversion rates. A recent survey (Epsilon, 2013) has shown that a triggered messaging campaign yields 70.5% higher open rates and 101.8% higher click-through rates compared to your standard ‘business as usual’ messages. In light of these statistics, it is clear that without a triggered marketing program in place, you are potentially missing out on big returns and losing your customers to a competitor every day.
Sell or retain?
We all know that it costs four times as much to find a new customer as it does to keep an existing one. Retention is vital in a turbulent economy and this is where triggered marketing really comes into play.
With the latest sales-i development, Campaign Manager, you can actively target and reach a specific cross-section of your customers. Take an example. You sell coffee machines. With sales-i, you know that John Doe Enterprises in California has just ordered fifteen of your coffee machines, but none of your coffee. You make a much better margin on the coffee, the consumables. So, armed with this knowledge, you can send a triggered, targeted message to John Doe Enterprises with an exclusive promotion on your coffee using the Sell & Retain Automated Marketing Program. Simple. Retain your customers and grow your business.
When you think about it, triggered messaging and automated marketing is pretty easy to get to grips with. You can find additional selling opportunities and revenue streams in just a few clicks with sales-i, but couple this information with Sell and Retain and you’re really onto a winner!
