Email and Marketing Automation

Email marketing is the single best way to generate business. For every $1 spent in email marketing, the average campaign earns $38 in ROI (Hubspot). Marketing automation saves time, generates leads and increases revenue. We integrate the right systems for your business to send email updates to key partners and customers. We configure nurture campaigns to educate leads, so your solutions stay top of mind no matter where they are in the buying process. We connect these systems to deliver user engagement information to your customer relationship management system (CRM), so you have a digital trail for each user that interacts with your website pages and content. Our email and marketing automation systems deliver key information to your organization that highlights buying signals and shortens sales cycles.
