eTrigue
Triggering Demand Generation

We think it is important to remember that organizations can get quick value from marketing automation by starting out with a few simple campaigns, and then building up sophistication over time,” cites Jim Meyer, VP and General Manager, eTrigue. Replacing the manual process of today’s marketing methods; automation alerts sales to the activity level of a prospect or an account, and ensures that each prospect gets followed up with the right information, at the right time. “However, marketing automation has been extremely people intensive, requiring a lot of marketers’ time just to operate and manage the system,” says Meyer. By reducing the complexity of marketing automation, eTrigue offers an easier-to-use marketing automation platform that allows marketers to focus on building content and programs, rather than spending time running the system.

eTrigue’s foundation was laid with a simple motivation—provide automation systems that are flexible so that campaigns can be up and running quickly and that changes to campaigns and materials may be easily accomplished. “We built eTrigue DemandCenter marketing automation, a highly intuitive and user-friendly Software-as-a-Service solution, so individual marketers and small teams could swiftly deploy effective multi-step marketing automation campaigns and ad-hoc email programs,” asserts Meyer. DemandCenter efficiently provides demand generation campaigns, including email tools, comprehensive activity tracking, lead scoring and segmentation, lead nurturing, real-time lead alerts, and anonymous visitor tracking. eTrigue offers simple pricing that provides an excellent marketing ROI and a positive revenue impact. “We ensure that companies generate more qualified leads with their existing resources,” adds Meyer.
