Drip Marketing – Tiny Drops of Brand ContentDrip Marketing - Tiny Drops of Brand Messaging | Boingnet

Drip Marketing has been a successful technique used by brands since the dawn of modern marketing. Brands have long been delivering messages through various means on a regular, planned pattern through every channel imaginable. While the goal of drip campaigns has traditionally been brand awareness, the advent of marketing automation has opened up new avenues for drip marketing – enabling the messages to be tailored to individual targets on a one to one basis.

Boingnet Drip Marketing Campaigns Drive Results

Statistics are showing that “Triggered Emails”, which are messages that are sent as a result of an action, or trigger, are resulting in open rates up to 60% higher and click through rates up to 116% higher than business as usual marketing email (Epsilon North America Email Trends). Marketers and agencies are using Boingnet Drip Marketing for many reasons:

  • Content Marketing Works– delivering relevant, personalized content to targets based on where they are in their decision making process has been proven to work in both B2B and B2C channels.
  • Budget Friendly – automated drip campaigns don’t need IT involvement. Drip campaigns are set up by marketing and/or sales, and once they are created, they run without the need for consistent maintenance.
  • Deliver Qualified Leads – salespeople hate wasting their time on leads that are early in their decision making process. Drip Marketing automates the processes of awareness and education that leads go through, letting salespeople focus on closing leads during their decision making phases.

Lead Generation → Drip Marketing → Loyal, Repeat Customers

Today’s marketers know they need to build campaign specific landing pages for every lead generation campaign that goes out, regardless of whether it is online, offline or email based, and that the follow up to the leads generated can and should be automated. Many small businesses and agencies have either ignored this best practice (yeah, the homepage will work!) or have pieced together several different tools to try to make it all happen.   There’s no need to try to learn how to build landing pages in one platform, forms in another, email in yet another, or try to find a way to make them all work together. Boingnet gives marketers and agencies a suite of affordable, easy to use tools that help turn leads into happy, long term customers. Use Boingnet to create powerful drip campaigns such as:

  • Top Of Mind Drips – keep your leads engaged with your brand throughout the sales process
  • Promotional Drips – limited time offers with specials and discounts
  • Win Back Drips – re-engage with former customers or leads
  • Educational Drips – provide relevant product or service content to top of funnel prospects
  • Competitive Drips – target your competitors customers with drips devoted to switching to you

Send Email Drip CampaignsDrip Marketing - Boingnet

Send Email Campaigns are the most straight forward and common Drip Campaigns. When many people think of “Drip Marketing”, they think of campaigns like this. These campaigns are made up of Triggers (actions to be taken) and Waits (delays before a Trigger). The Send Email Trigger will send an email template selected from the Boingnet Template Library to a contact after he/she filled out a form and joined a Boingnet list. A Send Email Trigger can also be set up as an alert to be sent to a salesperson, executive or group of people when a contact reaches a certain stage of a campaign.

How Do Drip Campaigns Work?

Drip Marketing - Cafe ExampleHere’s a simple example: A new cafe’ is opening and has purchased a Facebook Ad to be displayed to people within 5 miles of its location. Within the Facebook ad is a link to a Boingnet landing page that offers a grand opening coupon in exchange for names and email addresses. A Boingnet Drip Nurture Campaign is initiated when the contact is added to the grand opening list. After a Wait Step of 7 days, a Send Email Trigger is sent, with an offer of a free desert on the birthday, with a click through to a pURL with a form that requests the birthday to get the free desert coupon. A 30 day Wait Step is next, with an email going out with an offer to get a recipe and a video on how to prepare a special meal for an anniversary. The link in the email then drives the users to a pURL where the lead enters their anniversary date in exchange for getting the video & recipe.  Each step is helping the restaurant build a detailed profile of their local resident target audience that they can use in their email marketing to drive people to make reservations for special occasions in the future.
