Three Interaction Studio Features Marketers Should Look Out For

This blog delves into the value that Salesforce Marketing Cloud Interaction Studio provides to marketers (B2B and B2C). We’ll discuss Interaction Studio and its key capabilities with a focus on identity stitching and machine-learning-based recommendations.  

In addition, we’ll talk about the integration capabilities with Salesforce products including the three Marketing Cloud tools that could benefit marketers, which are Open-time email, Journey Builder, and Automation Studio.

Interaction Studio Use Case Example

An example of a use case with Interaction Studio is when customers view a product in-store, browse through the web, download a mobile app to use a voucher, make a purchase, and talk to a sales representative after a few days, multiple touchpoints and delivering a consistent experience is needed. 

That’s where Interaction Studio comes in, unifying the customer experience with its features.

Web

Based on the user’s interaction with the website (e.g. what content they read, or what products view, how much time they are on a particular page), a personalized banner based on on-site behavior and backend preference is enabled. 

Instead of a static banner on the homepage, Interaction Studio activates a dynamic banner in conjunction with the user’s behavior and data.

Email

A personalized email is uniquely catered based not only on aspects such as name, or city but with micro nuances such as user behavior. 

Omni-channel

Interaction with a user happens on a specific channel, but reaching out happens on another channel. What we’re looking at here is adding a user on a journey or a nurture campaign when they sign up from a form on the website.

Common Thread between Interaction Studio use cases

Each of the three use cases is unique in its own features but a common thread to all of them is personalization. 

Interaction Studio puts web tracking cookies on your website to listen for all the data that comes.

Top 3 Features of Interaction Studio

Today, in this world where we have interactions happening across multiple channels, it’s really important that all your sales, service, and marketing departments talk in the same language. That can be a huge challenge at times. 

Interaction Studio is related back to contextual data such as a product catalog or a content catalog. It can bridge the two resulting in a unified view of a customer. From the data of the customer, you can make a centralized decision leading to an orchestrated delivery across all touchpoints. 

Open-Time Email

Delivers personalized content and product recommendations at the time an email is opened by the recipient, which is rendered in true real-time, utilizing the most current information of every user in your subscriber list. 

The solution is designed to work with any email or marketing provider. 

Journey Builder

Based on API. Interaction Studio listens through web, mobile, API, and data feeds, constantly gathering data about visitors, then updates existing segments in real-time. Use these segments to add customers to Journey Builder within moments of data changing.

Automation Studio

Import or export segments between IS and SFMC. Export segments from IS to SFMC/Pardot using IS SFTP — one time or nightly. 

Use Automation Studio to import data into SFMC DE. Import data into IS — Marketing Cloud data extensions are extracted using Interaction Studio SFTP as a destination in Automation Studio.

Ultimate goal

As we learned, Interaction Studio unifies multiple touchpoints of user behavior from viewing a product through a website all the way to talking to a sales representative after a purchase. From these features, it all comes down to a better understanding of the customer’s needs, making it the best experience for them as possible.

Demystifying Pardot B2B Marketing Analytics Plus

With Pardot B2B Marketing Analytics Plus, you are able to bring external data, use an intuitive and customizable dashboard, activate Discovery Stories, and take advantage of Einstein Prediction Builder.

Difference between B2BMA and B2BMA+

B2B Marketing Analytics app External connectors
Pardot and CRM data Pardot, CRM and Import data
B2B Marketing Analytics app
Marketing Campaign Intelligence App
ABM App
Discovery Stories
Einstein Prediction Builder

Extracting Data

A case scenario is that there is a lack of visibility into usage as the data sits in an external system, getting it through that B2BMA. Extracting and bringing data is easy with the proper steps taken in B2B analytics. 

Remember that:

  • Dashboards are only as good are your data
  • Data is clean
  • Quality data everywhere
  • Joining in an effective way
  • What questions are you answering?

Customizing Dashboards

A use case example would be that you are missing key usage data from an ABM Dashboard, so you’ll add an additional lens from it. The first thing to do to edit a dashboard is to clone it. Connect it to the right data sources. Drag and drop as easily as you can. 

Remember:

  • Always copy the dashboard before editing
  • Think first about user experience 
    • Who will be using this dashboard?
    • What data will they be looking for?
  • What questions are we answering?
  • Charts were not created equal

Discovery Stories

An example of this use case is how prospects engage with your content and how can you actually improve it? Common questions that Discovery Stories can help with are how are your downloads doing? Or Are there engagements in downloading e-books or whitepapers? Options and suggestions from Discovery Stories will be given in a decision and strategy point of view for the future.

You can identify changes that are predicted to improve. Always remember to:

  • Not neglect combinations
  • Select relevant fields

Einstein Prediction Builder

An example of a case scenario would be a high percentage of leads were being marked unqualified and we didn’t know why so running tests from this capability will prevent this and identify some root causes.

Always remember:

  • Output is boolean or a number
  • What data matters? (e.g. not phone numbers)
  • Don’t include past leads that have already been unqualified

Takeaways

Pardot B2B Marketing Analytics Plus can give you a lot of advantages when it comes to data and being strategic in making decisions from it. There are plenty of capabilities that B2BMA+ offers including bringing external data easily to the dashboard, customization, Discovery Stories, and Einstein Prediction Builder.

Using Pardot B2BMA as a Data Audit Tool

In this blog, we will talk about data completeness, data hygiene, and data completeness KPIs to get you to have a better understanding and practice with Pardot B2BMA as an audit tool.

Data completeness

We’ll keep this straight to the point. You aren’t able to make great decisions if you don’t have good data. What is complete data? Are the fields being completely filled out? It’s actually about data you don’t know, what you need to know, and the diversity of sources you’re getting your data from.

How do you know if your data is complete?

Can you make decisions based on the data you have? Are you able to answer business questions or goals based on the data? Complete data does not necessarily mean asking every single question but only asking what you need.

 It’s best to make it targeted data. Knowing where it started, where it’s going, and what’s in the data are great practices to help you.

Data Hygiene

How do we control our data? We’ll start by getting the data we only need. Asking questions that would not be helpful to the goals can be avoided. 

  • Avoid open text boxes for categories like fields on cities/states/country as it will be very difficult to put them together categorically.
  • Be aware of convenience sampling. It is important to guide questions in a certain direction. Are we looking to find the things that we don’t already know yet? 
  • Monitor sources. Where does your data come from and how complete are those sources? Knowing who your population is and getting a proper sample from them is key.

Data completeness KPIs

What is your most actionable data? If you can only know 5 things about each of the people you’re getting information from, what would be the 5 most important information you want to get from them? 

Make prioritizations

Determine what your priorities are. Is it Industry, Geolocation, or Title? 

  • Identify non-actionable data. Are you collecting things because of everybody else? 
  • Determine categories of data to enrich. If you’re looking towards 5 different things that are important to you and you value, categorize them. 
  • Prioritize data enrichment activities. You can’t fix everything all at once. Having a good plan for determining which is the most critical data and how to clean them up will help you do a better job on forms and getting the data cleaner into Pardot. 
  • Measure your progress. It’s better to start a baseline and monitor insights as to what movement you have shown.

Conclusion

There are three critical aspects that can help us use Pardot B2BMA as an Data Audit Tool including data completeness, data hygiene, and data completeness KPIs, all of which are important to making important business decisions and achieving their goals.
