Is Marketing as a Service Software Right for You?


With the growing acceptance of online service applications businesses are now re-examining their needs to host sophisticated systems in-house or if using the cloud is appropriate.  Marketing as a service software (MaaS) is gaining momentum because of its ability to generate significant results while also reducing the overall expense of marketing initiatives.

How Does MaaS Work?

There are some relatively simple steps to use marketing as a service for any business:

1.    Find a reliable provider that has the tools you will need
2.    Complete a subscription agreement for the services desired
3.    Authorize connections and training for your key personnel
4.    Begin work and monitor results

The real advantage is that there is no need for significant investment in up-front hardware, software, or network upgrade expenses.  Instead of becoming computer software installation experts, your marketing team can jump right into the marketing applications and get results much faster.

How Do I Pick the Best Provider?

Consider these items when choosing a MaaS provider:

·         Does the provider take the time to understand your marketing goals? 
·         Are there flexible solutions available for you to choose?
·         How comprehensive are the tools provided?
·      Is the application fully integrated so that data gathered for SEO, as an example, is then used for web site content, email, blogs and other materials?
·         Can the provider scale up or down depending on your business needs?
·        Are the reports relevant and can be used to increase conversion rates to achieve marketing goals?


Any solution that is chosen should be focused on creating conversion centric sites.  Taking qualified leads or visitors and converting them to customers should be the key focus of any marketing application.  The Fyoosion solution is an ideal choice for many businesses to get their online marketing on the right track.
