Hi  Sir ,

Drip marketing is a modern tool  that can only be used with the help of the electronic media in the form of emails and sms or MMS.

It is a good tool for niche marketing when  the audience is upwardly mobile and tech savvy and use computers and3g mobiles.

It s main advantage would be the effectiveness of automation. This could be used as an automated follow up process in the early phase of lead creation.  But if it is not followed up by personal phone calls the customer is going to find out ( and these are tech savvy young and intelligent customers) and it would be a disaster. Could even have a negative effect on the prospect.

It should be used very cautiously. I f I receive email after email from a co and all of them are no reply and I cannot contact them before buying a product I may buy from someone else who responds to my query.

Engagement marketing, sometimes called "experiential marketing," "event marketing," "on-ground marketing," "live marketing," or "participation marketing," is a marketing strategy that directly engages consumers and invites and encourages consumers to participate in the evolution of a brand. Rather than looking at consumers as passive receivers of messages, engagement marketers believe that consumers should be actively involved in the production and co-creation of marketing programs, developing a relationship with the brand.

Consumer Engagement is when a brand and a consumer connect. According to Brad Nierenberg, experiential marketing is the live, one-on-one interactions that allow consumers to create connections with brands. [1] Consumers will continue to seek and demand one-on-one, shareable interaction with a brand. [2]
