Highlighted by rich email and social campaign functionality, Zoho Campaigns features very tight integration withZoho CRM, the on-demand CRM software, recently named 2012 CRM Market Leader for Small and Mid-sized Businesses. With the combination of Campaigns, CRM and Zoho Support, Zoho offers a suite of integrated applications to drive more sales and better service and satisfaction.

“Today, customers need to spend a lot of time and effort integrating different applications they use for sales automation, email marketing and customer support. Even then, they still don’t get a tightly integrated system,” said Raju Vegesna, evangelist for Zoho. “With the bi-directional integration between Zoho Campaigns and Zoho CRM, lists remain up to date, and sales representatives can now see how customers acted on previous email marketing campaigns, right from within their CRM.”
