Running on Colours with Marketing Automation: How to Successfully Paint Your Digital Canvas

Picture this: Your favourite café in Newcastle, bustling with happy faces, aromas of freshly brewed coffee, and a striking interior splashed with a vibrant colour palette. Now imagine if their digital marketing strategy could evoke the very same vibrancy and energy online. Sounds like a dream? Well, not anymore—with marketing automation and a dash of creativity, Northern can help businesses like yours bring this colourful vision to life.

Breaking Down Marketing Automation: The Ultimate Palette

Marketing automation might sound like the latest tech buzzword, but at Northern, it’s as practical as choosing the right shade of paint for your walls. It lets you streamline, automate, and measure your marketing tasks and workflows, enhancing efficiency and personalisation. What does this mean for your business? More time to focus on creating outstanding customer experiences and an increase in conversions without the manual hassle.

So, how do we bring this vibrant concept into reality? Just like a well-thought-out colour scheme transforms ambience, marketing automation can amplify your digital presence.

Unlocking Real Results with Automation

Let’s paint the picture with some of the results we’ve achieved for local businesses:

Simplified Email Marketing

A Sunderland-based boutique needed to attract repeat customers. We automated their email marketing, personalising messages based on customer purchase history. The result? A staggering 45% increase in repeat purchases within three months.

Personalised Social Media Campaigns

For a Newcastle event planner, we set up automated social media posts that aligned perfectly with their event calendar. Their follower engagement grew by 60%, and they booked 20 new events, all thanks to being consistently visible and relevant without lifting a finger for each post.

Streamlined Customer Journey

A Durham tech startup felt their website visitors were dropping off too quickly. We implemented an automated notification system that reached out to visitors who abandoned carts or online forms. This small touch cut their bounce rate in half and increased conversions by 28%.

The Colour Run Analogy: Keep the Momentum Going

Think of marketing automation like the exhilarating experience of participating in a colour run—each stage bursting with energy, colour, and excitement. You start off fresh, and as you progress, every step adds a layer of vibrant pigment, culminating in a beautifully messy masterpiece.

Start with a Clean Slate

Your journey begins with a clear, well-planned strategy. We help you establish goals and identify key touchpoints with your customers, ensuring every automated task is strategically placed for maximum impact.

Add Layers of Colour

With tools like personalised email drip campaigns, scheduled social media posts, and customer segmentation, you begin layering different hues onto your strategy. Each tool brings a pop of colour, targeted to engage and convert.

Finish with a Bang

As with any race, automation lets you build momentum and maintain it. With continuous tracking and analytics, we’re able to refine strategies and continue painting your digital presence with ever-bolder strokes, ensuring you cross the finish line in style.

Where Colour Runs Meet Business

Maybe you’re a restaurant in Sunderland looking to boost table bookings. We’ve previously revamped an eatery’s online reservation system through automation, resulting in a 32% increase in direct bookings. Or perhaps, as a tech startup, you’re aiming to secure investor attention with a memorable digital presence. After refreshing a Newcastle startup’s brand and automating their marketing flow, they secured the funding they needed.

Capturing the Colourful Journey: Photography & Videography

With Northern’s photography and videography services, your business isn’t just sharing an offer—it’s telling a captivating story. These visuals, complemented by automation, ensure your business doesn’t just stay afloat in the competitive market but also swims ahead, propelled by the visual appeal.

Recently, our Sunderland restaurant client witnessed an 85% rise in social media engagement after we incorporated professional visuals into their automated posts. This led to packed tables and buzzing social feeds.

Automate & Optimise: SEO & CRO Working in Tandem

Marketing automation isn’t just about emails or social posts; it’s crucial for optimising your site. For a hospitality client, we integrated SEO strategies with automation. As a result, we boosted organic traffic by 145%, significantly lowering bounce rates and driving more sales.

Let’s Create Your Colourful Digital Experience

Great work from NORTHERN! We were looking to rebrand the company logo, but we were unsure how to go about it. NORTHERN understood our company before designing the rebrand, and it worked great. He introduced ideas we hadn't thought of before, and has a real eye for detail. Very fast turnaround and listened to any ideas we had also.
