Key Challenge
Internal System-related Challenges Faced by Not-for-profit
Knowing where to invest in marketing to increase funding and volunteer applications
Not-for-profits often rely heavily on traditional and digital media-based advertising. This can be expensive and particularly with traditional media, it can be hard to track ROI.
Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (formerly Pardot) will help you assess the best-fit people to contact about funding or volunteering and allow you to track ROI on campaigns e.g. imagine knowing which individual donors have open your emails and who haven’t. Even better, imagine automating n second email based on whether they opened it or not!
