Summary: Alsa Marketing is a late entry to small business marketing automation. They support multiple languages, which should gain them some business. It’s harder every day for a new company to enter the business-to-business marketing automation industry.

But there are also a few vendors who have bet in favor of merged systems, so it wouldn’t be fair to ignore their view entirely. Vendors have made the bet by building marketing automation add-ons to a CRM system instead of building a stand-alone marketing automation product.* Of course, the jackpot here is Salesforce.com.

I can’t recall a vendor with the same business model as LeadPAC from marketing automation vendor True Influence. The prospects come through LeadPAC’s partnerships with major consumer and business list vendors. The vendor alone bears the cost of low response rates. That's worth some excitement. .

Now that I’m more or less finished launching the B2B Marketing Automation Vendor Selection Tool (VEST) , I can start catching up on the other topics. Small business systems like Infusionsoft and OfficeAutoPilot solve this problem by bundling their own CRM features. But I digress. It sells the product directly in the U.S.

I started last week to write a review of Act-On Software’s latest release but got distracted by the larger and sexier question of Act-On’s business strategy. While some other system provide this, many marketing automation vendors rely on third-party products instead. So let me try again. The same lead can belong to multiple lists.)

Business marketers probably spend more online, but, once you add in the cost of salespeople, I’d guess that online spending still accounts for less than 10% of the combined total. The system can cap the number of points earned by any one type of event, although this takes some configuration by the vendor.

This leads to more variety as vendors experiment with different approaches to a now-defined problem. In a third stage, variety diminishes as widely successful approaches become templates for standard configurations. This means new products reflect the lessons each vendor has drawn from the industry’s history to date.

It’s not the most sophisticated system or the prettiest, but some small businesses may find it's just what they need. Genoo offers a small-business-oriented Web marketing system at a small-business-friendly price of $199 per month. Over all, it’s an option worth considering for businesses with limited funding and limited needs.

Last week’s post looked at newer marketing automation systems that focused on small businesses. The general notion is that small businesses are finding existing marketing automation products too hard to use and would be happy with something simpler, especially if it costs less. Although this approach is popular, there are others.

If I were more on the ball, I would have noticed that May 25 marked a full year since Oracle bought the intellectual property* of high-end B2B marketing automation vendor Market2Lead. Although Oracle doesn’t use the term, this is very consistent with the revenue management concepts described by other B2B marketing automation vendors.

On days when I have nothing else to be cranky about, I sometimes fuss at how business-to-business software vendors hijacked the term “marketing automation” despite its long and relatively honorable history describing systems for consumer marketing. One vendor taking advantage of this opening is RedPoint.

As I wrote last week , demand generation vendors have a hard time differentiating their systems from each other. Functionally, it covers all the demand generation bases: outbound email, landing pages, Web site monitoring, lead scoring, multi-step nurturing programs, prospect database, analytics, Salesforce.com integration.

In most ways, working with Act-On is like working with other products: users build emails, landing pages and Web forms; track activities through page tags and cookies; do scoring and segmentation with activity history and lead attributes; and pass qualified leads to Salesforce.com. They can also import lists and execute email campaigns.

The conference yielded a clear picture of HubSpot’s business strategy for the coming year. Indeed, CTO Dharmesh Shah said their goal is to “leapfrog” current marketing automation vendors by replacing their focus on email marketing with a focus on social media. Well, they do sometimes admit they plan to creep upmarket over time.)

Channel-specific marketing automation is less appealing but should help to keep marketing automation vendors on their toes. I commented last month that more Web content management system (CMS) vendors are adding marketing automation features.

But while many demand generation vendors simplify these features so marketers can run them for themselves, Market2Lead offers no such compromises. Market2Lead’s approach to Web pages is more flexible: users can either build and serve Web templates within Market2Lead, or they can embed Market2Lead tags in externally-hosted pages.
