The terms used by marketers to describe today’s strategies, tools, and tactics can often overlap, intermingle or even confuse. But sometimes, a rose by any other name still smells just as sweet.
What do you call a target, automated series of emails offering leads relevant content based on an interaction with your website?
We call that lead nurturing, and it is a key element in the process of warming up leads and qualifying them before moving them on to a sales representative.
Based on their definition, when SnapApp and Demand Gen Report asked B2B marketers about “content-enabled campaigns,” they were talking about the same thing. And the expectations and positive results they reported from content-enable campaigns mirror those generated by lead nurturing:
-
More leads.
-
Movement through the sales funnel.
-
Audience education.
And a greater open and click-through rate for lead nurturing (aka content-enabled) emails than traditional email campaigns.
The key, of course, is to conduct the campaigns correctly, which means ensuring that content is focused, relevant and carefully considered.
