Event based triggers FAQ

What is trigger marketing?

Trigger marketing utilizes specific events (i.e. having a baby, applying for a loan, filing for incorporation) that a consumer or business do which trigger unique buying or purchasing behaviors. Marketers can then use these event based triggers to reach potential new or existing clients to capitalize on these transition periods in their life.

For example, sending tailored messages to businesses at unique stages during the lifecycle can significantly improve campaign performance. A trigger could be anything from a business filing for incorporation to a consumer getting married. These triggers allow marketers to tailor and customize messaging.

What are some trigger-based marketing examples?

Triggers can come in a variety of types. Popular examples of trigger marketing include events such as newly engaged, new movers, newly married, applying for a loan and filing for incorporation. However, there are many data points that can be utilized as a trigger for purchase depending on the industry or business looking to run campaigns.

What is an event based trigger?

Event based marketing (also called trigger marketing) is a form of marketing that identifies key events in the consumer (i.e., new mover) or business lifecycle (i.e., new business formation). When one of these events occur, a trigger is created and may be acted upon by a business. For example, a new mover trigger could be used by furniture company to offer a promotion for furniture at their new house.

How are event based triggers generated?

As consumers get married or have children and businesses file EIN paperwork or need a loan, they do things that indicate a specific change is coming. For example, a couple expecting a baby may begin to buy certain types of products, change their search behaviors, and act in many other ways that indicate a baby is on the way. Data providers are able to watch and monitor these actions and alert your company when a customer triggers an event.

Why should I use event based triggers?

When consumers and businesses are in the market for a major purchase or need access to funding, it throws a previous way of living off-balance. This is the moment when they are reconsidering many aspects of their lifestyle, ranging from budgets to where they live to their shopping schedules.

By finding the ideal moment to intersect with consumers’ lives or a business’s needs, you minimize your investment by decreasing marketing costs to catch their attention. In these moments, they are more receptive to your message. Event-based data allows you to show up with the right message, at the right time, with the right offer and establish new purchasing patterns.
