Adobe (Marketo) does it all. Will you use it all?
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We implemented it to get more sophisticated in the designs of our emails and to add a level of automation that we hadn't had previously. Where I am most familiar with this product was at a non-profit that doesn't have a sales team so we were not be able to use it to it's full capability. In my brief time using it as a SaaS company we were using much more of the features and functionality.
Pros
- Automate email workflows
- Easily transfer leads/MQLs over to sales reps
- Inserting dynamic content into emails, landing pages, etc
Cons
- Tracking clicks on specific links on landing pages
- Pricing is typically one of the highest
- Ease of integration with the "smaller" databases. It's easy to integrate with SalesForce but others may pose some problems.
Return on Investment
- Allowed us to increase the number of emails that went out the door without inundating our members with more email due to the levels of segmentation we could now activate.
- We can add communication limits to make sure people only get a certain amount of messages from s in a given time period.
- We decreased the time it took for a lead to make it to the sales team to a matter of seconds.
