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 started the automatic revolution as it made many things easier and better looking. Mail merge helped print individual form letters, personalized in a way that the typewriter had always took so long to do. The stack of mail still needed to go to the post office, with the appropriate amount of postage and responses took days if not weeks to document.
The way to access all of the automation that is waiting for you to use is through the Internet. The ability to market to the entire world will make anyone looking for wealth, through marketing, take notice. Gaining customers from all over the world makes the efforts you made, in your neighborhood at your corner store, pale in comparison.
That blog or website you know needs to be built is something that must have a lot of content uploaded to it. That is something that can be automated. That is software that scours other sites and captures articles that can make you an authority on the subject you are dealing with. People enjoy reading about the subject, especially if you have information that can help solve a problem.
Another, some say the most important, software, often web based, is the auto responder. This is a snippet of code that is uploaded onto your server that collects email addresses from people through what is called a capture form. This is critical as this is the beginning of the process of list building.
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.
Other automatic systems can submit articles to various article directories and to other blogs allowing this. Article marketing has become and is still very effective as a low cost tool to bring people to your site to get captured by the auto responder. Software that can submit advertising pieces to free and paid advertising sites will help you get noticed as well.
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.
