Answer by Ben Parker Chief Corporate Consultant, L-Soft Drip marketing is a communication strategy that sends or "drips" a pre-written set of messages to customers or prospects over a set period of time. Drip marketing is distinct from other kinds of database marketing in two ways. The timing of the messages follows a pre-determined course, and the messages are dripped in a series applicable to a specific behavior or status of the recipient.
