2. Create Content: Develop personalized content for your campaigns, such as emails, landing pages, and social media posts. Make sure the content matches the requirements and interests of each segment.
3. Set Up Automation: Use your platform to set up automated workflows. For example, create a drip email campaign that sends a series of emails based on lead behavior and engagement.
