Drip marketing is a strategy often used in direct marketing^[1] to maintain constant engagement with potential customers. It involves sending out automated actions, like emails, to leads at scheduled intervals. This method is popular due to its low cost and efficiency, particularly in e-commerce. It’s also used in direct mail through personalized postal services and in redes sociais^[2] through scheduled updates. Drip marketing plays a crucial role in lead generation, nurturing, and qualification. It’s beneficial in long sales^[4] cycles, especially for high-value items, as it helps businesses stay in the customer^[3]’s mind without disrupting the sales process. However, it can lead to lower response rates if follow-ups are impersonal. Interestingly, the term ‘drip marketing’ is borrowed from the agricultural practice of drip irrigation.

Definições de termos

1. ↑ direct marketing. Direct Marketing is a form of advertising strategy where businesses communicate directly with consumers to sell products or services. It's characterized by its targeted approach, prioritizing consumers who meet specific vendor-defined criteria. This advertising method involves direct communication channels like direct mail, telephone, email, and online tools, making it more focused compared to general marketing. It traces its roots back to the 15th-century Europe, with modern techniques pioneered by Josiah Wedgwood and further developed by the likes of Pryce Pryce-Jones and Aaron Montgomery Ward. Key objectives of direct marketing include selling products, generating leads, fostering customer relationships, and enhancing customer loyalty.
