Marketing automation: what, how, and why?

Sending commercial emails is one thing, but making sure that they arrive where they’re supposed to is something entirely different. With ISP's that are make sure spam messages don’t end up in your inbox, what are the best practices to ensure inbox deliverability? In this English webinar, Johan Van den Hende from iO will cover all aspects of email deliverability together with Jan Schapmans from Selligent.

The cookieless future is coming. Soon, marketers will no longer be able to collect third-party data — so they need to find new solutions to balance data collection, privacy, security, and customised user experiences.

Whether you’re a small business or a large multinational, it’s worth considering email marketing.

In 2023, consumers’ expectations are higher than ever. They reject generic messages and communication. More so; they want to be put on a digital pedestal. To be personally addressed and only shown content that is relevant to them. In other words, they want companies and brands to give them an experience. And that experience has become just as important as a product or service.

Anticipating customer needs is no longer enough; customers expect companies to truly enrich their lives. Breaking old silos and putting users at the centre is key to becoming an organisation that not only values customers, but puts them at the centre of every decision. After reading this white paper, you'll know:

Marketing automation and B2C are often considered a ‘match made in heaven’. For retailers with millions of customers marketing automation is an ideal means to communicate with them in a personalised and efficient way.

Register for our webinar now and allow David De Block, Public Services Director at iO, to show you the “reason to believe”, so you can take action.

Pretty much everyone has a smartphone these days, using navigation systems like Google Maps every day. Leveraging local search has never been this crucial to enhance online visibility and growth. Google reports that nearly half of all search queries on its platform (46%) have a local intent. You need to take advantage of that as a retailer. After all, you want potential customers to be able to find you, especially when you’re nearby. Sign up to join our exclusive webinar on local search to find out how to elevate your local presence.

Now that cookies are disappearing, the biggest challenge for everyone in marketing today lies in measuring and analyzing marketing efforts.   Companies currently find themselves facing a bit of a dilemma: on one hand, they want a transparent view of the results of their investments, on the other hand, they know that they need to rely more on data to make their advertising more relevant and efficient.

Every business that uses email marketing in its strategy to reach a target audience wants to get a spot in the target audience’s inbox. But spam has become such an overwhelming part of email traffic that it’s become more difficult to get past Internet Service Providers and Mailbox Providers. That’s why an email marketing strategy needs to focus on email deliverability.

Interactive content engages people with choices, questions, and options. That’s no different with interactive video — in stark contrast to traditional video, which is linear and forces the viewer to watch passively.

Shouldn’t the client be at the heart of every marketing campaign? When it comes to good inbound marketing, the same is clearly true for B2B marketing. Inbound marketing is an effective way to gather everything you need to build a successful campaign: the right, qualitative leads - collected in a way that does not disturb the user experience, using data that’s willingly shared. It’s a fitting approach, not only for acquiring new customers, but for turning them into enthusiastic brand ambassadors in the process.

Does your organisation spend a lot of time providing customers with support and service? Think about scheduling appointments, contract management, or changing customer data — exactly the kind of things you can digitalise in a self-service portal. Only, how do you go about it?

Creativity in B2B communication is an important way to engage and connect with your audience. The era of the pure sales pitch is long gone, and today B2B communication is also looking for new ways to add value in the long term. Creativity builds the bridge between story, feeling and individuality. And this translates into positive business results.

The world of online commerce is becoming increasingly complex. Businesses need to be able to create appropriate and unique customer journeys across multiple channels.

When new and greater challenges arise, fresh solutions are created. Solutions like composable commerce. 

To make your online business run smoothly, there are several aspects you can focus on. One of them is your channel mix. But how do you know if your mix is the right one? And do you stick to your initial choices or is it better to adjust your mix regularly? Channel management provides answers to these questions. Channel management involves monitoring and adjusting the entire channel mix of your business or client based on predetermined goals. You work on all aspects that ensure better results, at every stage of the funnel.

For the 2023 Local SEO Benchmark, we analysed nearly 100,000 business locations in 36 cities in the Netherlands and Belgium, across 14 different industries. Curious about how the retail sector in the Netherlands and Belgium is doing in terms of Local SEO? Find out in our 2023 Local SEO Benchmark Report . Some key conclusions of the 2023 Local SEO Benchmark Report:

Webshops have reached the status of shopping standard in the digital age. Users are just a few clicks away from their favourite items. Anywhere, at any time of the day, from the comforts of home. This is why online advertising on digital channels has become key to webshop owners: channels allowing you to maintain your margins and successfully activate consumers throughout the purchase process.

Performance marketing is a branch of marketing where you focus on results. Which results? How can you measure it and - more importantly - how do you achieve it? This is different for every organisation, but the potential of performance marketing to deliver results? That’s universal. The efficient combination of leads, sales and targets is crucial.

In 2017, Google was fined €2.4 billion by the European Commission for abuse of power. The internet giant was pushing comparison websites (Comparison Shopping Services, or CSS) lower in search results with Google Shopping. That fine was bad news for Google, but good news for organisations looking to make more online sales.

Producing content is a tactic everyone seems to rely on these days. Many organisations are creating content today — they have blogs, are active on social media, and might even publish their own magazine. But the underlying, supporting strategy? Something you rarely come across.

For many organisations, social media is still a Pandora's box. Yes, they are useful online channels, and yes, we might need to have a presence there. But how exactly do you tackle that? What do you need to take into account? This helpful social media checklist will take you a long way.

A tight job market and a short attention span from your target audience, who are also bombarded with content on a daily basis. Does recruiting new talent sometimes feel like a lost battle to you? We believe it doesn't have to be! Break through your target audience's content overload: invest in in-depth content to reach them and strengthen your employer brand. How can you successfully recruit and retain new talent for your brand? Discover it in "From Employer Branding to Recruitment - Insights 2024".

Do you want to rebrand your organisation? Is an acquisition or merger imminent? Or do you want to improve your customer experience, and does this require an organisational change?  For these types of digital transformations, changing technology is often a challenging and crucial part for organisations of all sizes. Whether you need to upgrade the CMS system to a newer version, or you want to increase your innovation speed with a headless CMS, there is often one element that receives little attention: the content migration. Far too often, a content migration is nothing more than the last thing on the list, because it’s the technology that requires a lot of attention and budget, isn’t it? How complex can it be to lift and shift the content from the old system to the new? 

Ideally, as a (Digital) Marketing Manager, you focus on developing and executing your strategy to achieve your organisation's goals. But what if your strategic focus is constantly disrupted by operational issues?

In 2020 we published "The 2020 Local SEO Benchmark Report". Our analysis of the state of local SEO in the Dutch retail sector. At the time, our conclusions were not too positive. About 75% of all business listings were incorrect or incomplete, less than 26% of retail chains had made a Google post, and only 8% answered reviews and customer questions. Now, three years later, we've mapped the state of local SEO again, but this time we’ve expanded the scope of our analysis covering 36 cities in the Netherlands and Belgium, divided into 14 different industries. In total, we collected and analysed data from nearly 100,000 business locations and over the last few months, we have analysed the results and are proud that we can now  share the report and the most important findings. Let's dive into the key insights...

It’s that time again: It’s Christmas commercial season 2023. I’m ready for a wagonload of snow, candy, British stars, and tortured covers of familiar songs. And what did I get? Exactly that. I love it! A (completely objective) overview of the (mostly) British 2023 Christmas commercials. Brace yourself for Rick Astley, kisses, Ryan Reynolds, talking mittens, singing oven gloves, pink flamingos, John Travolta as Santa Claus and... a rediscovered hit from 1965. And... What did John Lewis do?

Yay! There's a new way to get bite-sized content and insights from iO. In the fall of 2023, Meta launched WhatsApp Channels in more than 150 countries - including ours.

You may not have noticed, but a lot has changed in terms of analytics and tracking over the past five years. This is partly because we've already grown accustomed to many changes, and partly because their impact has come very gradually. Half a decade ago, no one knew of the existence of a cookie banner, a year later everyone thought they could never get used to it, and today we don't know any better. We've made serious strides in terms of data regulation, and perhaps the biggest steps are yet to come in 2024.

Seriously, it's done in no time. And we're about to show you how. The question is: is this what you want? In this blog post, you'll read how we do it at iO, you'll find some tips and tricks to apply on your own work and you'll start to grasp the added value of the human factor.

Does the name Leonhard Huizinga still ring a bell for anyone? Once a popular Dutch writer, now forgotten. He made his debut in 1936 with the book 'De Gestroomlijnde Wereld'. Already a wanderer at a young age, Huizinga's book opened an unknown world to many readers. An exotic world, which seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, because it was more accessible by car, train, boat, and airplane. Faster, more comfortable and with more and more streamlining — quite literally. Curious, boundless, full of wonder. Not realising, as early as 1936, that over that same world lay the shadows of tomorrow.

The end of December is list time. My colleagues at iO invited me to fill the last square of 24till24 with an inspiring list. December 24 is the last day of work before the Christmas holidays for many. That magical time of the year when the professional merry-go-round comes to a complete standstill. It isn’t just the time for family celebrations, it’s also the perfect moment to curl up on the sofa with a good book, a podcast, or a film. So, get into my personal list of the very best viewing, reading, and listening tips. Slide into the holiday season and keep the boredom at bay. Enjoy!

Il y a une fracturee digitale entre les persona que nous utilisons en marketing et la population. En Belgique, l’écart est assez important : près de 50 % de la population est considérée comme numériquement vulnérable. Comment gérer cela en tant qu’organisation ? Comment s’assurer que les produits et services proposés n’excluent personne ? Cet article contient neuf conseils pratiques afin de vous guider vers l’inclusion digitale.  

De plus en plus d'organisations souhaitent mesurer avec précision le retour sur investissement des plateformes digitales. Mais comment élaborer un plan de mesure efficace ?

Le monde du marketing ne cesse de se transformer, avec de nouvelles mises à jour ou de nouvelles règles en permanence. C'est un monde qui oblige les entreprises à évoluer avec lui. Un changement récent de cette organisation inclut, entre autres, que le mode de consentement de Google doit recevoir une mise à jour d'ici mars 2024 afin d'améliorer la protection de la vie privée des utilisateurs. Prenons par exemple la loi sur les marchés numériques. Cet instrument législatif européen réglemente les plateformes numériques en créant des règles. Une récente modification législative prévoit notamment que le mode de consentement de Google doit être mis à jour d'ici mars 2024 au plus tard afin de mieux protéger la vie privée des utilisateurs. 

We all know third-party cookies, a marketer's bread and butter, are leaving the building. The cookieless future was irrevocably set into motion when Google decided to remove them completely by 2024. This presents us with the unique challenge of tracking an audience that does not only demand an excellent experience but is increasingly privacy-conscious, too – quite paradoxical, we know.  You’ve probably also heard that first-party data is the way to go. So, how can you turn leads into returning customers and, more importantly, how will you procure their data? We suggest a trust-first marketing approach that focuses on excellent content to establish a relationship with customers and users, making them more inclined to share their data with you. 

La nouvelle année vient de commencer et les premières tendances sont déjà à nos portes. Plus important encore, les utilisateurs deviennent de plus en plus « libres » : ils se déplacent librement d'un canal à l'autre, à la recherche du contenu qu'ils souhaitent consommer.

Mais à quoi pouvons-nous nous attendre en 2024 ? Dans cet article, nous examinons trois tendances que vous pouvez commencer à utiliser immédiatement.

Google est le leader incontesté du marché des moteurs de recherche, et le restera probablement pendant un certain temps. Cependant, pour ce qui est des requêtes de recherche, on observe récemment un challenger à ce monopole : Bing de Microsoft. Au cours des derniers mois, Bing a fait des progrès considérables, passant de 1 requête sur 20 à près de 1 sur 5. Cette influence croissante et la part de marché de Bing sont des éléments à prendre en compte dans vos stratégies digitales. Vous pouvez ignorer 5 % de vos visiteur·euse·s potentiels, mais ignorer 18 % des requêtes qui mènent à votre entreprise pourrait être néfaste pour vos résultats. 

L'essor de l'IA, les bouleversements du paysage des médias sociaux et la fin des données tiers... le moins que l'on puisse dire, c’est que 2023 fut une année tumultueuse. Mais, en 2024, les spécialistes du marketing et leurs organisations sont aussi confrontés à des défis de taille. Découvrez les six tendances digitales et marketing qui domineront cette année et, surtout, comment les aborder avec succès.

Date limite pour l'exportation depuis Universal Analytics : 1er juillet 2024. Après le 1er juillet 2024, il ne sera plus possible d'accéder à vos données dans Universal Analytics. Il est donc essentiel de prendre des mesures en temps voulu et de les exporter avant cette date. En exportant les données avant la fermeture de l'accès, vous pouvez conserver des informations précieuses, stocker vos données en toute sécurité et entreprendre tout autre action nécessaire. Il est conseillé de ne pas s'y prendre à la dernière minute, car vous pourriez rencontrer des obstacles, tels que des erreurs d'extraction ou des défis techniques. Pour éviter les problèmes potentiels, il est conseillé de transférer les données à temps dans un environnement où elles peuvent être stockées en toute sécurité. Vous pourrez ainsi les utiliser ultérieurement à des fins d'analyse ou de transformation. En agissant maintenant, vous pouvez vous assurer que vous ne perdrez pas vos précieuses données et que vous serez bien préparé·e pour l'avenir. Découvrez nos recommandations ci-dessous.

Le marketing de contenu a-t-il encore du sens en 2024 ? Patrick Severein (Head of Content et stratège) se pose la question.

In the marketing optimisation of larger iO clients - such as Brussels Airport and Lidl - we see a shift from ad hoc campaigns to always-on. There are a few logical explanations for this trend. And both the elimination of cookies and the focus on the customer experience (CX) have a lot to do with it.

Conversational search in the form of an AI chatbot lets your website visitors interact with your content, resulting in a better customer experience.

There is unrest in the SEO landscape, and it's no surprise given the rapid changes taking place. With the advent of AI, the future of SEO suddenly seems uncertain. The number one search engine is vigorously testing AI applications, reducing the need to click through to websites. This has serious implications for everyone whose traffic is partially dependent on Google, including e-commerce.

Our attention spans are shorter, we skip commercials, and we click from video to video all the time. When consumers are bombarded with an avalanche of content every day, how can your brand stand out?

Companies are unaware of the enormous the cost of bad customer experiences.

From Van Eyck’s brothers' Ghent Altarpiece to Rock Werchter: the Canon of Flanders is finally here.

But there is also an online version: www.canonvanvlaanderen.be . iO developed this on behalf of the Commission Canon of Flanders, which received a mandate from the Flemish Government, Department of Education & Training.
