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.
The computer, of course, took us from the world of writing things or typing individual letters. It was able to mail merge so that individual labels, for mail, could be printed out easily. That, at least, saved some time from all of that needed for the entire marketing effort. The mail still had to go out and bad addresses may never be discovered. Not only that, but responses, either way, might take days or weeks.
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.
A blog or website is absolutely necessary when setting up a business, here. You need to have a lot of content on that site and automation can be one of the tools you use. There is software that will scour many other sites and article directories for articles to include. All of this will help you become an authority figure in your niche and help the search engines find you.
The one automated system that no marketer wants to do without is an auto responder. This will capture an email address from a visitor by offering them something free in return. This email will go on your list and you can continue to give them valuable information and interest them in other products that can help them.
This email list is your pipeline to them in a relationship building way. This system takes an entire set of emails and delivers them, one at a time, as scheduled, so they can begin to trust you enough to buy what you recommend. This is that relationship building that delivers value as long as you do not try to force anything on them.
Some of the other systems available at a reasonable cost or even, in some cases, free are websites that will submit articles that you write to directories and other websites. These articles are a low cost way to get people interested enough to come to your site. This will get them interested in leaving their email address, so this whole thing starts, again.
Automated systems mean you spend less time on mundane and repetitive things. It means setting something up and letting it work for you. It means spending more time with your family and the next launch that will help you grow your bank account. These systems mean a way to connect and relate and inform and counsel and, yes, sell in ways you would not have been able to back when all you had was a pen and paper.
