About marketing tools

More visitors and customers who stay

Without visitors, you sell nothing. But a visitor who buys once and never comes back doesn't bring in much. Marketing tools help you with both: reaching new people and keeping existing customers. You learn how visitors find you and what appeals to them. With that knowledge, you tailor your campaigns to what works.

What types of marketing tools are there?

  • Loyalty: Smile.io and LoyaltyLion reward customers with points, VIP tiers and referral programs.
  • Affiliate: with Post Affiliate Pro you set up your own partner program.
  • SMS and push notifications: Postscript sends SMS campaigns, Aimtell reminds visitors of an abandoned cart.
  • Landing pages: with Unbounce you build a page per campaign and test variants.
  • B2B leads: Leadinfo shows which companies visit your site.

Personal communication

Generic messages work less and less well. Divide your customers into groups based on what they bought or viewed. A customer who bought running shoes last month wants to see something different than a new visitor. Platforms like Manago AI and Dotdigital connect customer data to campaigns across multiple channels.

Trust is part of it

An attractive offer doesn't help much if the visitor doesn't trust your store. Make sure your site is secure, your payment options are clear and your terms are easy to find. Only then does extra marketing really generate more revenue.

Start small

Choose one goal, such as more repeat purchases, and a tool that fits it. Measure what it delivers before you add something new. Many tools in this list overlap, so you rarely need more than two or three.
