A Guide To Email Marketing Automation

Marketing

Email marketing automation is a plan in which marketers send triggered or timed promotional emails to their mailing list subscribers. It allows online marketers to send personalized messages to prospects and customers on a regular basis or when certain conditions are met.

As examined at our previous marketing events, email automation saves marketers the time and effort of creating and sending new emails every time a prospect expresses interest in a brand,, a customer abandons a cart, a business launches a sale, and so on.

How does email marketing automation work?

Triggers and actions are central to email automation. When a specific event occurs, an email or series of emails is sent. The length of an automated email series is determined by the number of marketing actions that the company wishes to automate. As a result, the marketer can be as creative as they want with the content they send to subscribers. A marketer uses an email service to create an email flow to enable email marketing automation.
