Breakdown of core features
Email Marketing
With Pardot, you can A/B test your email content, create email templates that match your brand guidelines, preview your emails across platforms and devices, test your emails across top SPAM filters, and do advanced email reporting. In addition, you can further personalize your emails using segmentation with Pardot to reach out to specific audiences. Send emails to different groups based on their job titles, product interests, location, and more.
Lead Nurturing
Lead nurturing helps you retain prospective clients who aren’t sales-ready without wasting time. By “dripping” marketing content and 1:1 messaging to your prospects over time, you stay top of mind throughout the length of the sales cycle — and you free up marketing and sales resources to focus on your hotter leads.
Reporting
Tie closed deals to the campaigns that created them using closed-loop reporting. Calculate campaign costs at any time and automatically have your opportunity data sync between your CRM and marketing automation tool. Finally, calculate your ROI and make sure that both marketing and sales are getting credit for their hard work. With Pardot’s reporting feature, you can better understand where your best and worst leads are coming from, allowing you to prioritize your marketing channels and spend.
