How to simplify your marketing stack
Why most marketing stacks are just too much!
Let’s be honest: today’s marketers are buried under a pile of platforms. One for contests, another for loyalty, a third for incentives… and the list goes on.
Instead of making life easier, all these tools create extra logins, scattered data, and a ton of manual work.
No wonder 63% of marketers feel overwhelmed by their tech stack!
The result? More time spent wrangling platforms than actually running campaigns.
The hidden costs of a messy stack
- Time drains: Hours lost switching between tools
- Data silos: Insights stuck in separate systems
- Missed chances: Slow setup means you can’t act fast
- Higher spend: Extra licenses and maintenance add up
Most platforms only solve one piece of the puzzle. What you really need? A coordinated, all-in-one approach.
What a simpler stack looks like
- All your promotions, loyalty, and incentives in one place
- Full creative control and advanced customization
- Tools for both B2C and B2B (think instant wins, surveys, VIP rewards)
- Centralized analytics and campaign management
- One-click publishing, easy previews, and quick sharing for feedback
Bottom line: Less clutter, more agility, and faster results.
How to simplify your stack
1. Audit your tools: List everything you use, spot overlaps and gaps
2. Prioritize integration: Pick solutions that unify data and workflows
3. Automate: Choose platforms with built-in automation
4. Centralize analytics: Find dashboards that track everything in one place
5. Streamline launches: Look for tools that let you go from idea to live campaign in minutes (Wink Suite users can launch in as little as 30 seconds!)
