Market Trends of CRM Outsourcing Industry
Marketing Automation is Expected to Hold Significant Share of the Market
- Marketing automation is a technology that lets users target customers with personalized campaigns by leveraging data. CRM marketing automation software enables us to streamline marketing activities, run effective campaigns, increase consumer engagement, and drive high profits. CRM lets a user segment customers based on their requirements, region, lead source, and level of responsiveness towards the organization. Using segmentation, an organization can send tailor-made campaigns to fit the audience and assign sales representatives with the right specializations for the job.
- CRM integration for marketing automation allows transferring lead information seamlessly between marketing and sales. Moreover, it enables sending the right information to prospects at the right time, coupled with marketing funnel automation. Emails are also a major communication channel with potential leads. Integrating CRM with marketing automation enables testing email content, creating email templates that match brand identity, previewing emails across platforms and devices, and doing advanced email reporting.
- The adoption of marketing automation software has been increasing in the region as there has been a shift to digital omnichannel marketing compared to traditional marketing. According to the CMO Survey by American Marketing Association and Duke University (n=356), recently B2B product marketers in the United States suggested that their spending on traditional advertising was expected to decline by 0.61% in the following year. In comparison, digital marketing spending was projected to increase by 14.32%.
- It is expected that marketers will start integrating multiple solutions into a single place. Multiple vendors have started offering ecosystems and integration help. For example, Cireson shared its experience with the shortcomings of using a workaround for its CRM marketing automation integration.
- Specifically, the company had to implement two third-party tools to pass data between its marketing automation platform (HubSpot) and its CRM system (SugarCRM). As a result, the marketing team had to perform multiple tasks manually, which decreased overall productivity and led to several data leaks. Additionally, using third-party tools to do the integration work added to the overall costs, which lowered ROI even further. To manage these challenges effectively, remember that independent software providers have a huge presence.
- According to HubSpot, In a survey of marketers worldwide in March 2023, 84 percent of respondents believed that aligning web content with search intent is the top way to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and marketing automation effectively.
