Then, use the landing page the Whitepaper is on to your advantage by requiring visitors to fill out a survey before accessing the Whitepaper.

Now you have permission to send an E-mail, and you know which product Drip Marketing campaign you should put them in.
Advanced Tip
If a few of your leads have made it through your Drip Marketing campaign without making a purchase, consider inserting a Transfer Stage at the end of your campaign to put them into a nurture campaign. In this type of campaign you provide subtle reminders of your products on a less frequent basis. This enables you to stay in the customer’s mind without annoying them.
