How to Utilize Marketing Automation for Your App

Tuesday, May 19, 2015

App marketing automation is not automated marketing for your app. Instead, it is a process that helps you to scale your efforts providing the ability to run customized campaigns to your users.

The key to successful app marketing automation is to personalize your automation strategies to cater to different user segments – at scale - providing messages they’ll want to interact with and are relevant to them in real-time.

Automation works to improve your user marketing efforts because it links messages together to allow you to deliver connected and clear offers. It also allows you to nurture your users down key conversion paths (increasing revenue) and spares you the headache of manually creating hundreds of campaigns (saving time).

The process may seem daunting, however you will be amazed at the wealth of information you have at your fingertips to automate diverse campaigns drilling down to very specific internal user niches and actions. Creating a plan and getting started is the biggest hurdle.
