Allyson,
We have some cool campaigns that we've run at Marketo, and I'd be happy to share in detail. You can reach out to me at shonal@marketo.com.
Here are some quick ones for an automated lead nurturing program:
- Intro tracks based on "Topic of Interest": we have our standard nurturing track with around 30 emails on various topics, but I am working on a few, targeted nurturing tracks that prelude the general track. If leads are uploaded from a webinar on "social marketing", we'll flag their topic of interest and put them in a mini-track with social marketing content only.
- Post-demo followup page using PURLs: Once a sales rep gives an on-site demo, he/she can drop the lead(s) into a campaign (via SFDC), and we'll have a followup go out on behalf of the rep. The main call to action is to check out a landing page using PURLs with relevant followup information.
- Automated connection campaign: When our sales development reps are bogged down with prospects, they can add less-qualified prospects into a campaign. The campaign will send a series of 4 emails asking to schedule a meeting. If the prospect replies, the rep can remove the prospect from the campaign. If the prospect does not reply to emails 1-3, the 4th email asks the prospect to choose their own adventure (in a sense). If the prospect clicks on "I'm interested in buying" or "Tell me more", we have a campaign to create a task, send an alert and log an interesting moment. The once "less-qualified" prospect now bubbles up to the top, without wasting a single minute of the reps time.
Again, feel free to reach out to me.
