Data Onboarding Using Marketo

Updated 

Marketo is used for lead generation and managing email automation to target customers and potential prospects. Marketo stores demographic information of the prospects and customers — first name, last name, email address, contact number. It also stores their activity data like which emails they opened and when, which links they clicked on, who unsubscribed from which email campaigns, etc.

Sprinklr allows brands to onboard customer and prospect data using Marketo and segment it into targetable audience based on behavioral and demographic attributes. This enables brands to reach the audience with the right communication at the right time.

Some of the attributes related to Marketo are as follows.

Name of Attribute Definition
List name Target all the users who are in the selected profile lists
List Program Name Target all the users who have engaged with the selected campaigns
Unsubscribed Target all the users who have unsubscribed (the value is true) or not unsubscribed (the value is false)

Use Case

Scenario:

Suppose a high-end beauty brand has launched limited-edition custom-engraved fragrance bottles. It has run a few email campaigns targeting their wide customer base to make them aware. Now they want to boost conversion by running highly-tailored ads on social.

Use Case

To boost conversion, retarget only those users on social who have shown interest by clicking on the links in the email campaigns.

Solution:

  1. Create a Marketo segment of all the users who have engaged with the email campaigns. Assuming that the selected Profile List contains the customers' email engagement data for specific limited edition campaigns.
