Some experts even predicted that in 2017, marketing decision makers will be spending more on technology than CIOs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A big part of this shift is due to changing consumer behavior, who are leaning more and more towards either being influenced by, or influencing purchasing decisions \u2013 and sharing their brand experiences.

From a cost and having the ample training for adoption, to organizational fit, and having the ability to manage and support the technology \u2013 there are a plethora of things to consider, which makes choosing the right tech a worthy challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips on how to choose the right technology:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1.Define your goals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you even begin to scan the tech landscape, you need to compile a list of your current and foreseeable business needs, and the possible solutions to address them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should answer the question on where this new tech could land within your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/guides\/businessplan\/the-marketing-plan\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marketing plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, consult with all the pertinent departments to align all concerns. While it would be impossible to find technological solutions that would address every need, connecting with key departments and stakeholders will allow you to define the direction you want your company move towards, and select the appropriate technology to help you get there. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2.New doesn\u2019t always mean better<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amazing leaps that technology continues to make, coupled with the pressure to keep up with it, makes it tempting to immediately go with the hottest trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there\u2019s a reason why goals, strategy, and marketing focus need to be clearly defined and aligned \u2013 and that\u2019s to avoid wasting valuable resources on a technology that does not address those objectives. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3.Consider the customer journey<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The technological advancements have also meant that customers engage with your brand across multiple marketing channels. Today, consumers use an average of nearly<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.knexusgroup.com\/show\/blog\/Five-Omnichannel-Statistics-You-Need-to-Know\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">six touchpoints<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (15 years ago, the average was two, with only seven percent using more than four). This means that you need to carefully consider technologies that would allow you to support customer interactions at virtually every point of the buyer journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The constant interaction throughout the customer journey not only gives you more chances to turn the lead into a sale; it also increases the volume of customer data that becomes available to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4.Understand your limitations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you could have clearly defined and aligned goals and strategies, and you may have an eye on a tech that supports the customer journey, but the reality is, there will still be a set of limitations that you have to carefully consider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the obvious matter of having ample financial resources, you need to make sure that your company has the manpower and overall skill set to implement the necessary processes entailed by adopting a new technology. Also, consider organizational fit, and if the actual people using the technology can manage and support this new tech. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding your limitations, allows you to avoid wasting valuable resources on the tech you\u2019re not quite ready for.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5.Engage with a shortlist of providers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After having a clear idea of what you need based on the steps provided above, start researching for tech providers. It is good to read on curated articles with reviews from various experts on tech providers when it comes to price, quality, and features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaborative meetings with your marketing and IT teams and prospective vendors will allow you to get a better understanding of which solutions actually meet your requirements and needs. Of course, conversations can only go so far, so make sure that onsite demonstrations showcase their promised solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6.Evaluate<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a weighted scorecard that includes all company criteria to evaluate your shortlist of vendors. This allows for objectivity and consistency in the evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This also enables you to have a solid score-by-score analysis if the providers\u2019 solutions align with your requirements, and if there certain issues, like a need for customization, may arise. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Takeaway<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of finding the right technology for your business needs may be a lengthy one (if you truly commit to doing it right), but there is no doubt that businesses \u2013 no matter the size and scale of operations \u2013 need to reconsider the way they conduct their digital marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while there is from a gamut of technological options to choose from, which brings uncertainty as to which ones are the right fit, it\u2019s easy to get one thing right\u2014and that\u2019s businesses need to invest in technologies for their online marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What tech are you using to enhance your digital marketing strategies? How have they made the processes easier for you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel like there are bottlenecks in the implementation of your strategies, consult with the pertinent departments in your company, and find out how technology can make marketing more efficient and effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is perhaps no aspect of business more affected by the rapid wave of technological advancements than marketing \u2013 redefining the entire marketing industry, continually making it more data-driven, and making it requisite to keep up with in the competitors or risk getting left behind.
