Frequently Asked Questions

What is marketing automation and why is it so important?

Marketing automation is technology that manages repetitive marketing tasks and complex campaigns so you don’t have to. This software allows you to automate your communication with leads and customers throughout the customer lifecycle, from their first touchpoint to post-purchase.

When paired with a CRM that collects data about your leads and customers, your marketing automation software can use that data to deliver engaging, effective experiences across multiple channels. Whether you use email marketing, SMS messages or a combination of the two, marketing automation will give you the power to turn more leads into customers — without managing the whole process manually

Why should I launch an SMS marketing campaign?

There are lots of reasons to send bulk SMS messages to your leads and customers, but one of the most compelling is their sky-high open rates. Research shows that 95% of SMS messages are read within three minutes of receiving them — which means you can run campaigns and encourage leads and customers to take action in real-time. Plus, leads and customers are far more likely to redeem your coupons and offers if they’re sent via SMS messages, which makes bulk SMS marketing an ideal strategy for boosting engagement.

Is Ontraport a good choice for B2B marketing automation?

Yes — Ontraport is a great fit for attracting new prospects, nurturing leads, generating sales and more for your B2B business. We offer reliable tracking and attribution, highly personalized communication channels, and ready-to-launch marketing funnels that you can kick off in minutes. Plus, since Ontraport lets you gather and store more data than most marketing automation solutions, you’ll be able to reach more potential customers and get better results from your marketing efforts.

Where can I find additional email marketing automation best practices?

We have lots of resources on our blog and Support Center for getting more of your emails into the inbox and optimizing your content. You can also check out this article to learn specific practices for boosting delivery rates, like using a custom domain, creating strategic content, keeping an engaged list and more.

Why do I need email marketing automation?

Email is one of the most valuable channels for staying in touch with customers and leads. With an email automation tool, you’ll be able to keep up with all the messages you send on a regular basis and never worry about dropping the ball on your customers. It’ll make it easier for you to share a newsletter, follow up with leads, close deals, welcome new customers and more, without keeping up with everything manually.

And, because Ontraport’s email marketing tools are built in with your sales, marketing and CRM systems, you’ll have all the data you need to market to each lead and customer’s unique wants and needs.

How do I know if Ontraport is the best email marketing software for me?

Ontraport’s robust set of email marketing features make it easy to send the right messages at the right times and deliver a more personalized experience. Since your email marketing will be synced up to your automations and CRM, you’ll be able to trigger follow-up messages based on any kind of activity: clicks, form fill-outs, page visits and more. Plus, you can use UTMs, split testing and advanced reporting to see how your emails are performing.

Ontraport also comes with lots of deliverability resources to help your emails land in your customers’ inboxes. We have 15 years of email delivery experience, along with an in-house postmaster team that can give you one-on-one support with any issues that arise. Plus, you’ll have access to features that give you control over your email reputation, like a custom domain and private IP address.
