Supercharge Your Email Marketing With Phone Calls. Moreover, mobile has given rise to a new breed of customers who expect a one-to-one experience across all channels and devices, online and offline. Meanwhile, giving people the option to call directly from your email or landing page will boost engagement rates—especially with mobile users who would rather not do battle with tiny screens and online forms. Your customers want to call, so make it easy Customers want to call you. Adding a phone number will only drive results if the number is easy to find. Use call insights to improve personalization Incorporating phone calls into your email marketing opens up a new world of targeting capabilities. With call intelligence, you can also dramatically improve the data you have available to segment and personalize your email marketing campaigns at scale. Calculate true ROI Proving ROI requires accurate attribution, and that's simply not possible without incorporating call data. Call intelligence fills that blind spot by bringing call data into your email marketing dashboard, allowing you to track calls as accurately as you do clicks. It's time for email and phone calls to team up, and for marketers to embrace the fact that call intelligence technology brings the rich and varied layer of customer data we need to survive today's omnichannel world.
