Integrating a CRM with email marketing platforms

CRM and email marketing integration can simplify your email marketing efforts by saving time and effort on certain marketing processes and streamlining your overall email efforts. These are just a few of the key benefits of integrating a CRM with email marketing platforms:

  • Automate email campaigns: Email automation lets your team spend more time talking to high-value leads while your CRM connects with other leads and customers through automated drip sequences. Email drip sequences make it so your company can connect with customers at precisely the right time in the customer journey.
  • Track campaign performance: Tracking your progress is important for ensuring your campaign is successful. CRM integration with email marketing platforms enables your business to use in-depth reporting and analytics tools. Those tools monitor the progress of your email marketing campaigns and adjust them for maximum impact and success.
  • Email list segmentation: With the help of the customer data stored in your CRM, you can create targeted email segments based on customer data like demographics and behavioral data. With targeted segments on hand, you can create personalized marketing campaigns that effectively target those segments and encourage engagement.

Track key website visitor metrics

When using your CRM and web analytics platform to monitor your website’s performance, keep these key website visitor metrics in mind to get the most out of your CRM integration:

  • Website traffic: Analyzing website traffic gives you a better understanding of what site content your audience is drawn to upon reaching your site and how they navigate it.
  • Traffic source: Also important is understanding where your audience is coming from. Knowing how users are coming to your site can help you improve your customer journey so you can funnel more leads to your site.
  • Bounce rate: Your bounce rate tells you how often users land on one of your pages and leave without performing a specific action. A high bounce rate indicates users aren’t finding what they’re looking for on your site.
  • Conversion rate: If a user completes a specific action that benefits your business, that’s a conversion. Conversion rate refers to the number of users on your site that completed a desired action. By looking at conversion rates, you can identify areas on your site that are performing well, and optimize ones that aren’t.
