Manufacturing Makes a Comeback
Manufacturing is making a comeback. Not that they ever went anywhere, but those who build the things that keep the American economy humming have regained their rightful status. Gone is the image of grimy factory workers. That outdated portrait has been replaced by the factual portrayal of modern, efficient workplaces using the latest technologies to produce everything from consumer durables to automobiles to electronics and more. While the factory floor enjoys a resurgence, what hasn’t fully kept pace are the methods used to sell manufacturing goods and services. Manufacturing is great again. It’s now time for manufacturing marketing to be the same.
Marketing Needs to Keep Pace
The sales and marketing tactics of the past – trade journal ads, catalogs, cold-calling, old-buddy networking, one-off emails – no longer work. They are holdovers from a bygone era. As global competition increases and margins continue to tighten, manufacturers who succeed will do so as well because they take advantage of new digital marketing techniques. Those who do not adapt will fail to keep pace.

Marketing Automation is the Pacesetter
Marketing Automation is the technology that replaces the old ways. Marketing automation is a collection of processes optimized for attracting, nurturing, converting and retaining prospects. Marketing automation unites a company’s website, customer relationship management, email marketing, digital content creation and analytics into a cohesive whole, one that breaks down the walls of separation between the marketing and sales departments. The result is an increase in leads, sales, profits and efficiency.
