However, automating them reduces effort and costs. This way you can reach a large number of users with just one click.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you have the possibility of having the campaigns with the best organization. You can also program them according to the previously performed segmentation.<\/p>\n<h3>You can measure your results<\/h3>\n<p>As in any marketing technique, it is necessary to measure the results. We do this to see if our efforts are being effective.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, there are metrics to measure and optimize our results.
