Content reigned supreme CRM became a hot word for marketers Marketing automation became less of a trend
and more of a necessity Email marketing continued to dominate Responsive design and mobile friendly content
generation got a lot of air time Social media continued to grow and become a
core element to every marketing strategy
Content, content, contentPaid amplificationHyper personalizationIncreased collaboration amongst teamsMore humanization
Brands as publishersBrands become more useful by providing
custom, brand generated content for their leads and users
Content becomes more targetedWe must create and tailor different formats
of content with customized copy for all of our different channels and personas
Content is based less on sellingDedicate more resources answering
customer questions and providing more value
With so many businesses creating content, it is getting more difficult for our content to be found.
Success comes when your content is consumed – paid content distribution
PPC, Facebook Ads, promoted tweets, Sponsored posts, etc
Remember – you need a mix of Owned, Paid, and Earned promotion
Hyper-personalized marketing uses consumers’ very different needs and preferences, and created highly meaningful communication that sparks and influences behavior
Use Dynamic Data: Merge fields and templates that facilitate unique content. (Hint: GreenRope’s Dynamic Merge fields) – Set up templates that provide flexibility, and make use of all of the data you have collected in your CRM. If done correctly, one template should support multiple triggers and be able to tailor your content.
Make use of integration: Data integration is critical if you want to get hyper-personalization right. Use marketing automation, CRM, and conversion and website tracking to collect valuable pieces of data and trigger your campaigns.
Make use of workflows: Workflows are designed to streamline certain processes. There are many triggers that can set off a workflow. Set up your workflows to include personal follow ups, personal emails, customized content, and so on. Hyper-personalization succeeds when there is a mix of both automated and human touch efforts.
The days of sales and marketing being in different departments are over. Sales and marketing need to be using the same techniques of content creation and real-time engagement to attract and inform. One cannot live without the other.
Your customers are human, your employees are human, your social fans and followers are human – talk to them like humans!
Start from the top: Leadership is critical. If you or your leader talks like a robot, this robot like culture will spread like a wildfire. Don’t be a robot.
Think about the conversation: Communicate with your leads and customers as if you were sitting down in front of them. This is how REAL relationships develop.
Introduce your people: Put a face to those that are engaging and communicating with leads and clients. Show up. Let them know you are there.
Make ‘em laugh and make ‘em cry: Not all communications needs to be surrounding business. Business is just one aspect of a person’s life, so connect with them on different levels.
Be honest: Not everyone is an expert, so don’t pretend to be. Show your true self and seek influencers out that can teach your something. You’ll have a better chance for engagement
Revisit and redevelop your buyer personas. Your content must speak with your target audience. If you are not getting much traction or engagement, then you are probably speaking to them, not WITH them.
Try out multi-channel promotions. Find out which medium brings you the most engagement, then focus and grow that network.
Use CRM and marketing automation to gain valuable customer insights. You can also use all of this data for super personalized campaigns.
Test, test, and test again. A/B testing is the only way that you can get quantitative statistics on how your marketing efforts are performing.
