The simplest examples would be sending bulk emails, scheduling them ahead of time, and bulk unsubscribing from newsletters that you no longer want in your inbox.<\/p><p>Using some email marketing or CRM software, you can create drip email campaigns. Drip campaigns automatically send a series of pre-written emails to new subscribers at different intervals. This type of campaign aims to build relationships with your potential customers, increase their engagement, and eventually allow you or your sales team to close the deal with them.<\/p><p>In customer service, you can use email automations to respond to enquiries without having to write the email yourself. These are called canned responses and while it should be used sparingly it can detect keywords present in your customer\u2019s email.\u00a0 Based on these keywords, it sends a pre-written response. Not only does this automation spare you the time and effort writing a response.

Automations will go a long way in making your life easier in this area of your business.<\/p><p>One of the simplest things you can do to improve customer support is to build a knowledge base.
