GetResponse Marketing Automation
Businesses of all sizes need automated processes to optimize their marketing results. Email marketing is not just about capturing readers’ emails and sending messages to your list. That’s old school. But the automation tools takes your marketing results to a whole new experience.
The logic of GetResponse Marketing Automation is based on the “if this, then do that” logic. You set conditions and actions to take if these conditions are met. The automation functions run constantly, search the database for these conditions and taking the necessary actions as defined.
For example, if a subscriber does not open an email, then the subscriber is sent a reminder 24 hours after.
Understanding GetResponse Marketing Automation can drive more profit. First, based on your business flow, you have to define a list of conditions.These are automation events based on user behaviors.
For instance, what happens if a subscriber clicks a link in a specific campaign? Here are some more conditions:
- You set a condition to take a specific action for those who open a certain mail — one specific message or any message.
- Set a condition to trigger an action when a subscriber makes a purchase.
- Set a condition to launch an action if a user abandons an online cart.
- Etc
There are a couple of actions you can set when these or other conditions are made:
- Send Mail : This action will automatically send a per-defined mail if a certain condition is made
- Tag: The subscriber who triggers the action will be tagged with a specified tag value
- Move: This action will move subscribers from one list or campaign to the other based on condition you’ve set
- Scoring: This action adds (or subtracts) a specified number of points to the scoring of the subscribers that triggers the event.
- Copy: The copy action will copy your contact from one chosen campaign based on the conditions pre-defined.
Using GetRespons Marketing Automation Filters
Filters allow you to narrow the group of subscribers you want to communicate with. The Range filter is used to limit a segment to a specified range. For example first 100 subscribers who clicked a link in a specified campaign or purchase a specified product.
The Amount filter is used to define the number of subscribers who receive an action. Example: send a gift certificate to twenty subscribers only.
