Marketing automation is a powerful way to keep in touch with your prospects and customers, especially via email.
But the question is, how do you go about it without pushing the wrong button that would lead to unsubscribes?
How many emails do you think your prospects and customers receive daily? 10? 20? 50? More.
According to the Radicati group, an average of 196.3 billion emails were sent and received daily in 2014 and that number is expected to rise to 227.7 billion in 2018.
Email drip campaigns can be a gift and a curse. Done well, they can help you build trust with potential buyers over time, laying the groundwork to eventually convert them into customers.
However, done wrong, drip emails look a lot like spam. For every great cold email you send, it only takes one impersonal or poorly timed follow-up message to lose a prospect (and damage your reputation) forever.
Here's a good example of a well-structured drip email workflow that Pardot uses to connect, nurture, and convert its prospects into customers.
Digital marketing gets better every day. Because marketers are always looking for better means to convince and convert customers. They are looking for new strategies and refining the old ones so that they can have a competitive advantage in business.

As exciting as this may sound, a study by SmartInsights found that 49% of organizations have no clear digital marketing strategy. Furthermore, HubSpot reveals 39% of marketers think their organization's marketing strategy isn't effective.
This is why you need to improve upon your strategies in 2018 to get your business ahead of the tough competition.
That being said, I want to show you some of the proven digital marketing strategies that will bring real results this year.
