Marketing Calendar with Upcoming Emails

Anonymous · ‎12-21-2010

When you have many campaigns running, it can be difficult to know which emails will be delivered on what day. I'd like to see a calendar, like that in Outlook, showing which emails will go out at what time on each day.

That will make it easier to avoid overlapping emails and spot gaps in communication.

Is this still on track for a CYQ1 release?

Hi All,

I'm the UX Designer working on the new calendar feature and would love to talk to some of you about your interest in a calendar and how you would use it, and also get some feedback on some early designs. Please email me at divya@marketo.com if you're interested!

Thanks,
Divya

Hopefully we'll be able to have a friendlier calendar than an excel spreadsheet 😄

In the IF you can't wait category.....

The is no sync to Marketo but we have started using Outlook as our calendar of record for all of our campaigns (as opposed to Excel). It's been working extremely well the past month.

Not only can marketing use it to keep track of what's happening, Sales can look up the next week's/month's happenings whenever they need--there is no need to keep updating some excel file on the network. We had IT set up a special Marketing Planner Calendar in Outlook and then shared it across sales and marketing using a color coded system. This literally took us an hour to populate once IT set things up.

Additionally, we put all of the campaign assets within the calendar item so sales can always get access to the actual HTML file for webinar invites, links to campaign members within SF, followup information and more.

Questions like "Where is the link to the registered leads?" 'What is the new email signature?" and "What does the email look like?" can all be answered by visiting the calendar. Sales doesn't have to rely on event update emails the marketing team sends out.

Hi Jeff,

I like your workaround. Does your calendar cover all regions or just one?

FYI We have 7 business zones with as many sales teams and I'm wondering if sales should have access to all ww activities or just the ones covering their business zones.

Thanks
