GreenRope vs Vertical Response
Email marketing or marketing automation, which is right for your business? The true answer is, both. Marketing automation is a strategy, one that heavily relies on email marketing. Email marketing sees some of the greatest ROI and marketing automation only progresses your success. Marketing automation gives you better targeting, better lead management, and overall better email marketing. Not to mention, email marketing is only part of the puzzle. In order to effectively bridge the gap between sales and marketing, integration (and collaboration) between the two is critical. Technology can help.
