I'm wondering if a PURL is like a vanity URL? We have a print-based camapign that we want to bring to a Marketo landing page. So I need a (vanity) url to include in the postcard. Would a PURL be used?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes, pURLs are lead-specific variants of a landing page. They are expressly for situations like direct mail or print.
However, they have a few oddities that can only be fixed with custom JS code. Principally, they are designed for leads who have never visited your site before, even anonymously. As I usually put it, the pURL is a "weak associator" to the named Marketo lead -- weaker than the association between a Munchkin session and an anonymous Marketo lead. So it can't override the latter out-of-the-box.
