Marketing Automation is a group of customer relationship management (CRM) or customer experience management (CXM) that focusses on the description, segmentation, scheduling and tracking of marketing campaigns. Marketing automation makes tasks that would be done manually by an individual, or effective and completed at a quicker rate. Also makes new processes possible that may not have been able to be completed. Marketing Automation and technology go hand in hand, making it simpler for repetitive tasks that are undertaken on a regular basis to be organized, following, and accurate in a marketing campaign. Marketing Automation stages permit marketers to automate and simplify client communication by dealing with complex omni-channel marketing strategies from a single tool.
