In the E-commerce domain, mobile E-commerce is dominating over the desktop. Last year the mobile share of worldwide E-commerce was around 60%. Mobile marketing automation works best when you have a strategic vision to deploy it across all systems. Whether in the E-commerce space or retail industry, you need to have a strategic approach to leverage mobile marketing automation for your brand.
Mobile marketing is one of the most engaging ways to connect with customers today. With the help of rich media, brands can send personalized content in fascinating formats to customers accessing their mobile site or app. For example, banks can send push notifications with multiple savings schemes to their audience segment. These notifications can be further personalized for each customer based on their app behavior and banking patterns.
E-commerce companies can send targeted offers and discounts to customers who have dropped off or abandoned carts. For example, Cleartrip uses AI-powered marketing automation to enable ‘Personalized Smart Triggers‘ for its app customers. This has helped the brand convert 5% of customers that drop off from the booking funnel.
To nail mobile marketing automation, brands need to enable enterprise-level adoption. It has to be an active area of focus from the corporate vision perspective.
For example, telecom companies share real-time updates through lifecycle email campaigns that convert inactive customers. They also localize their marketing with geo-fencing tools under the MMA umbrella. Many retail companies leverage dynamic product messaging solutions to boost sales for their best-selling or in-season products. Whether in the OTT space or via intermediaries, companies should leverage MMA to promote content in different formats across different mobile channels seamlessly.
Mobile marketing automation arms marketers with two strengths: Scale and Personalization.
Further, advanced mobile automation platforms offer better targeting and optimization options that help brands improve the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and become more relevant to their customers. The quality of these interactions could be enhanced manifold with efficient help from AI-enabled mobile marketing automation tools.
