More and more manufacturers are adopting marketing automation and personalization. Over the last 5 years, global marketing automation market size has grown from $11.4 billion to $20.3 billion, and, by 2022 it will be double its 2017 value.
You may worry that automation means the opposite of personalization. But the two don’t have to be at odds. As technology continues to evolve digital channels, manufacturers have embraced automated marketing strategies. Adopting automation increases efficiency. Still, how marketing automation gets applied matters.
You may have experienced “automated” communication from companies that’s generic and irrelevant to you. That’s not what I’m talking about here. Strategic data collection and application through a marketing automation platform designed for your business needs will improve personalization.
The intersection of automation and personalization creates powerful manufacturing marketing communications. Through these tools, you can create content that speaks to your customers based on their actions and interests. Today’s customers value access to priority information, making automation increasingly popular with buyers, too. Therefore, manufacturers that utilize automation as a tool to better serve their customer’s information needs will see the best results.
