For subscribers who haven&#8217;t engaged with your emails for a defined period, trigger a re-engagement campaign with compelling content or offer an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/discount-emails\/\">exclusive discount<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, identify subscribers showing strong engagement signals. You can move them further down your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/marketing-funnels-basics\/\">marketing funnel<\/a> and introduce them to more conversion-focused content, such as product demos, case studies, or free trials.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbound marketing automation allows you to segment and nurture leads based on their interactions to guide them toward making a purchase or taking a desired action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Event-based loyalty program<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building strong, lasting relationships is the main goal of inbound marketing. An event-based loyalty program provides a platform to engage with customers on a deeper level. You can enhance customer loyalty by automating rewards based on customer interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the workflow \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking customer engagement is the first step. Implement tracking mechanisms to monitor customer engagement, such as website visits, social media interactions, and purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One such inbound marketing example is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.starbucks.com\/rewards\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Starbucks Rewards program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. By paying using the Starbucks app, customers can earn loyalty points, \u2018loyalty stars\u2019 in the case of Starbucks, and they can then redeem those stars to get free drinks, food, and even Starbucks merchandise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-17-at-12.15.11\u202fPM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50569 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-17-at-12.15.11\u202fPM.png\" alt=\"customer loyalty program example from Starbucks\" width=\"540\" height=\"687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-17-at-12.15.11\u202fPM.png 968w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-17-at-12.15.11\u202fPM-236x300.png 236w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-17-at-12.15.11\u202fPM-805x1024.png 805w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-17-at-12.15.11\u202fPM-768x977.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on their interactions, automate the process of assigning points to customers. For instance, a customer might earn points for attending webinars, making purchases, or sharing your content on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/social-media-engagement-posts\/\">social media<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a customer accumulates a certain number of points, an automated system triggers the delivery of rewards. This could be in the form of a personalized email sending them a reward, such as a discount code, exclusive access to a webinar, or early access to new content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can even create loyalty tiers based on accumulated points, allowing you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-audience-segmentation\/\">segment your audience<\/a> effectively. Each tier can have its own set of benefits. Customers in higher tiers could receive additional benefits, such as early access to sales, VIP customer support, or exclusive events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This event-based loyalty program workflow, when approached with inbound marketing principles, becomes a powerful tool for building and nurturing customer relationships.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It not only incentivizes customer engagement but also fosters a sense of loyalty by providing personalized rewards. Customers feel appreciated and are motivated to continue interacting with the brand to unlock more benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Interactive content pathways<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbound marketing is the art of attracting and generating leads through content. Brands can encourage user interaction and tailor content based on user choices.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, brands are seen developing interactive content such as quizzes, surveys, or assessments related to their industry or product offering. Let\u2019s say you are a cosmetic brand, you could create a &#8220;Beauty Quiz&#8221; to help users find the perfect skincare routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Glamm, an Indian skincare beauty brand, has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myglamm.com\/myglammxo-survey?mb=v38\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">created a landing page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where their visitors enter their email addresses to access the interactive content.
