Why Do I Need a Marketing Automation-Enabled TYPO3 System?
Like any innovation, integrating marketing automation functions into TYPO3 initially involves additional effort: the tool needs to be set up and possibly further developed, and employees need to be trained. However, this investment pays off significantly! Here are some of the key opportunities summarized for you:
Higher Efficiency for Higher ROI: Help Your Marketing Teams Achieve More in Less Time!
An endless to-do list and chronic time shortages are challenges that most marketing teams are familiar with. This is where investing in a marketing automation-enabled CMS pays off: in email marketing alone, you can increase productivity by 20% through automation while simultaneously reducing operational costs (Source: Harvard Business Review).
Here are some functions that can to boost your efficiency:
Automated Email Campaigns
Function: Integrating TYPO3 and Mautic allows you to automate email campaigns: you can set up workflows where users receive emails on relevant topics at predefined intervals. These workflows are triggered by actions like downloading a whitepaper. The content of the emails always matches the user's interests, which Mautic identifies based on their behaviour on your website. Data between TYPO3 and Mautic is synchronized in real time and is always up-to-date. Compliance with GDPR is ensured through an automated double opt-in process and user-friendly subscription management.
Automated Lead Management
Function: You can create forms in Mautic and embed them directly on your TYPO3 pages. Leads are automatically transferred from TYPO3 to Mautic, eliminating the need for manual maintenance. Mautic also has comprehensive access to behavioural data – both user behaviour in emails and on your website. The tool uses this data to qualify leads and determine when a lead is ready to purchase.
Example: A user has registered for your newsletter. Behavioural data shows that click-through rates for posts on a specific topic are particularly high. The user has also visited service pages on this topic multiple times on your website. Based on this data, Mautic calculates a lead score and informs you when the user is ready to receive a conversation offer.
Personalized Messages for building and retaining customer trust: Provide Your Target Groups Only with Content That Truly Interests Them!
There is a reason why personalization is one of the major marketing trends today: according to a McKinsey-Study personalized marketing can increase revenues by up to 40%. Consumers now expect a personal approach from companies, including measures such as relevant product recommendations, individualized messages, and targeted promotions.
Marketing automation software can make a valuable contribution to more personalized marketing:
Customer Segmentation and Personalized Emails
Function: Through an extensive collection of behavioural data, TYPO3 and Mautic provide you with a 360° view of potential customers. Additionally, customizable forms can be used to gather other relevant information, such as job title and company size. Mautic uses this data to automatically segment users, which you can then use for personalized communication. As described here, the tool can also automatically tailor the content of an email campaign to user interests.
Example: Mautic has collected behavioural data on a user showing interest in a specific product category. By filling out a download form, it is also known that he works in procurement at a mid-sized company. Mautic assigns the user to a suitable segment, which you can then target with a personalized campaign.
Advanced Analytics for usable insights: Understand Exactly Which Marketing Measures Work – and Which Do Not!
Measuring success is a crucial component of any marketing strategy but is often neglected by smaller marketing teams due to time constraints.
The right marketing automation tools make analysis easier and provide deep insights into the performance of your marketing efforts:
Campaign Performance Measurement
Function: Mautic offers extensive tracking and analysis functions that allow you to measure and optimize the success of your marketing campaigns. It enables you to collect and analyze data on website visits, email open rates, clicks, and conversions. These insights help continuously improve marketing strategies and make informed decisions.
Example: Suppose the open and click rates of your newsletter are good, but the time users spend on the linked page is low, with quick drop-offs. This could indicate that the topics mentioned in the newsletter seem interesting, but the content on the website needs to be better developed. Mautic provides you with these insights, helping you refine your strategy accordingly.
Conclusion
It is clear that marketing automation is not just a trend but offers real value to companies. TYPO3 and Mautic together form a powerful team, enabling you to boost the efficiency, personalization, and success measurement of your marketing efforts. Mautic is particularly compelling due to its open-source nature. With seamless integration capabilities, these tools can be perfectly integrated, data can be continuously synchronized, and all the prerequisites for successful marketing automation can be met.
