NOTE: Your customers don’t stop learning once they make a purchase decision, but enter into a “loyalty loop” where they continue to build expectations and seek out education to inform their next decision.

BUILD BRAND ADVOCATES
Referrals are often the largest source of new customers for many businesses.
Use Marketing Automation to determine which
customers are likely advocating for you and create
special programs and incentives for these valuable lead
sources.
PERSONALIZES EXPERIENCES
Marketing Automation allows you to identify the right content that should be delivered to each customer at the right time.
You can use this data to develop customer profiles, or
look-alike profiles from existing customers to determine
which content and messages are right for new prospects
as well.
KEEP SCORING LEADS AFTER PURCHASE
Lead scoring AFTER purchase is a great way to utilize the power of marketing automation to determine which customers are engaging with your content and who might be ready for a cross-sell, up-sell, or even a re-sell.
Providing leads with useful and relevant information
prior to making a sale strengthens trust in the brand and
creates loyalty.
CREATE END-TO-END CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES
Using the data from marketing automation you can identify the pain points, content, messaging and approaches that attracted your customers, the ones who converted, in the first place.
Nurturing programs can be set up to remind them of the
value they were seeking, teach them how to become
expert users of your product or service, provide case
studies of companies and buyers that resemble your
customers, and also begin to introduce new products
and services.
