3 Reasons to Like Nimble's Updated Social CRM

Amberly Dressler — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:05:00 GMT

With a name like Nimble – its product better be quick, agile and smart. And anyone logging into this social CRM for the first time will quickly see how Nimble lives up to its namesake and more.

For the unacquainted, Nimble helps professionals build better relationships by providing context to conversations through actionable insights, including notifications across social networks that are important for users to act upon, making relationship building using social media easier.

“By pulling important signals from the noise, Nimble learns more about the types of people and information that are important to our users, offering an ongoing concentration of valuable engagement insights to a higher-quality professional network, and more targeted connection opportunities,” said Jon Ferrara, founder and CEO of Nimble. “We’re spearheading an entirely new Nimble experience to expose users to insights about their networks that they didn’t previously know. We’re providing what’s been missing from CRMs and other tools: the context for contacts to build more meaningful and sincere relationships.”

On May 21, Nimble 3.0 was announced. It offers new features, product enhancements and a focus on insight-driven engineering. Here are three reason to like Nimble's updated social CRM:

New Homepage

This updated homepage, dubbed the Today Screen, gives users immediate access to the intelligent opportunities Nimble uncovers daily like contact’s birthdays and job changes, impending deals, social influence and more.

More Apps

Nimble 3.0 is complete with more than 100 new integrations with services like ExactTarget, Constant Contact, Netsuite and others.

Better Search

Nimble’s search can keep an individual and their colleagues on the same page, as users can sort by last contacted (people and companies), so they always know who, when and on what channel a prospect was contacted.

Williams-Sonoma Goes Global with NetSuite

Amberly Dressler — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:20:00 GMT

Williams-Sonoma brought a tight timeline and lofty expectations to its shopping criteria for an agile platform that enabled it to handle the complexity of global multi-channel commerce. The high-end, multi-channel retailer was impressed by the capabilities of NetSuite SuiteCommerce, which it ultimately selected for its global expansion into Australia.

NetSuite CEO, Zach Nelson, made this announcement during his keynoe at SuiteWorld on Tuesday, but the brand went live on the platform May 2. NetSuite SuiteCommerce powers four newly launched and individually branded e-commerce storefronts in Australia, combined with NetSuite Retail Anywhere POS as the point-of-sale solution for four new retail stores in the Bondi Junction suburb of Sydney, Australia.

From planning to retail store opening, NetSuite and Williams-Sonoma report the entire rollout of all these capabilities was delivered efficiently. The NetSuite solution has given Williams-Sonoma, Inc. critical speed, cost reduction and agility advantages to accelerate time to value from its multi-channel Australian initiative with flexibility to readily expand the solution to enter new global markets, according to a NetSuite statement.

Australia seems to be ripe for the multichannel picking, as not only have 71 percent of Australian consumers made an online purchase, but they actively research products on social media and search engines before making purchases. In fact, 30 percent of Australian buyers search for the location of the nearest store/supplier for specific products and services (eBay/PayPal, Dec. 2012).

Big List of Marketing Automation Software

Administrator — Tue, 17 May 2011 18:35:00 GMT

Marketing automation software is here to stay. No longer an emerging trend or the domain of a select few savvy businesses, these software platforms streamline sales and marketing departments by replacing high-touch, repetitive manual processes with automated solutions. Sounds good, right? But what do these solutions really enable your organization to do, how can it benefit search marketing efforts and who are the real leaders in the space?

Users of marketing automation software platforms, typically those responsible for marketing a website or business (search, email, social, advertising), are able to specify criteria and outcomes for tasks and processes that are then interpreted, stored and executed by the software. While that undoubtedly sounds complex, the objectives are simply to increase efficiency and reduce human error. One possible cause for a lack of adoption in small and medium size businesses is that these solutions come in a variety of forms with a lot of feature cross-over. Before moving forward it is important to understand the various classifications of marketing software.

- Marketing intelligence software tracks behavior (what activity did the user engage in and where) for the purpose of understanding intent, enabling marketers to improve targeting based on interest and vertical market. Appropriate for any size organization.

- Marketing workflow focuses more on budgeting and planning, workflow and approvals, collaboration, asset creation and management internally within an organization. Marketing workflow solutions are typically designed for larger enterprises.

- Marketing automation software focuses on lead generation with marketing programs to drive awareness and interest in products/services. The best solutions on the market couple marketing technology with sales processes as delineated by a CRM program.

These are very broad definitions of the marketing software classifications that should help identify what type is appropriate for your business and in particular your search, social, email and advertising campaigns. Ultimately, any marketing software should aid in performing functions and tasks including analyzing marketing campaigns (and customer behaviors), managing those marketing campaigns, and organizing and storing customer data. So who are the best of the best in the marketing automation software business? WM has listed a few top tier vendors below.

Marketo

Pardot

Optify

InfusionSoft
