Create a user group for B2C retail/e-commerce

[Tara_Dacci]

I love that Marketo has some industry-specific user groups. Unfortunately none of them are a good fit for my current situation. The company I am with now mainly uses Marketo for B2C marketing to our e-commerce customers. I know Marketo is typically used for B2B, and that's how I had been using it until recently, but I have a feeling there are a lot more B2C marketers out there and it would be great if we could all learn from each other.

Tara Dacci​ the awesome thing about MUGs is that you can spearhead your own as long as you get Marketo's approval on it. I would recommend reaching out to Elise Hudson​​ with your plan, probably to create a Virtual MUG specifically for B2C e-commerce customers. I started a MUG in my city and it's a lot easier if you have a co-leader, so if you know someone else in the space who is good at events you can recruit them to be your partner. Marketo needs to review your MUG plan first (who are you targeting? how often will you have meetings?), but it's a great way to get involved!

Thanks Christina. I appreciate all the info, especially who to contact.

Hi both! Kelsey Bourque​ actually leads and manages the MUG program now. She will be able to guide you with all things MUGs!

Hi Tara Dacci‌,

I would be interested in joining a B2C virtual MUG group. Unfortunately, the MUG groups I participate in are all B2B.

[Tara_Dacci]

Same here! I need to get with Kelsey about starting this up. I will keep you posted!
