Let's take a dive into what Zoho MarketingHub has in store for you:

Visualizing personalized conversion journeys

Building contextual journeys is the key to providing a personalized experience. Creating journeys lets you define and own your customers’ and leads’ stories, and it also makes it easy to engage them as they progress in their paths. These journeys are not just about targeting a set of people with some actionable content—they're more to do with what, why, and how. 

Consider these questions:

- What does your target audience want from you? 
- Why does your brand help them achieve what they want? 
- How do you make your audience understand ?

Journeys from MarketingHub is a mechanized tool to help you perform your engagement activities in the most humanized way. They provide triggers, logic elements, processes, and exit actions that let you build engagement flows and craft unique experiences for everyone you target.

The campaign planner helps you kickstart your marketing campaign, right from the very first baby steps. Define your objectives, decide on your targets, pick your engagement channel, and select the budget currency—the rest is handled by the tool. Sit back to see how your campaigns perform in real time, and get metrics like budget allocation, channel performance, touchpoint analysis, and monetary estimation at your fingertips.

Embarking on potential lead opportunities 

In the journey of lead progression, every detail about your lead counts. So, it's important to know not only which sources your leads, but also what drove them to your brand, how this shift happened, why there were so many points in their path, and how often you get lead growth. How do you capture all of this information and conceptualize it in your engagement strategy?

Touchpoints and attribution reports give a clear view of the various information points in your lead's journey, from the time they show initial interest in your brand to the time they actually sign up or get associated with you. Lead generation tools like smart pop-ups, signup forms, and OnSpot forms help you broaden your lead base. Lead insights offer much deeper metrics, such as growth over time, engagement levels, tag associations, and more.

The micro-funnel methodology 

Every marketing effort you undertake is a funnel by itself, in which your motive is to graduate or qualify the best of the lot. For example, consider a webinar. Your webinar attendees become your leads, and your aim is to provide tailored nurturing for these leads, get them to register for more webinars in the future, find the leads who consistently take part in your sessions, and finally reward those leads.

To make your qualification process simpler, MarketingHub provides scores and tags that let you segment the best of the best. Cumulative scores help you gauge the high-performing leads, and you can group them for further reference using a tag. The lead stages tool helps you categorize leads based on their current engagement stage, which makes micro-targeting easier.
