The Spot For Pardot

Snippets were added to the Pardot functionality toolset fairly recently as a way to help the marketers of the world stay organized and reuse their content across multiple templates or Pardot Business Units without copy and pasting (*cues angelic music*). 

Nearly 90% of marketers are using email (think tools like Pardot) to reach their audiences on a weekly basis, according to Oberlo. On average, people get roughly ~120 emails a day, according to Radicati. Whoa! That’s a lot of emails. For many organizations in sectors like manufacturing, the switch to digital channels has become a race against time. One could infer that this number has increased due to the shift to digital channels (such as email) in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The shift is probably affecting businesses who perhaps did not depend on email marketing to generate sales, or depended more on brick-and-mortar stores for sales. In any case, these metrics are alarming to say the least, which begs the question, what are you doing to stand out and make your brand memorable?

In Pardot, there are several ways to send emails, however the way you organize and set up your email campaigns can differ from team to team. As a marketing team, here are some challenges you may be facing and need support on in 2021:

• Planning and executing Pardot email campaigns that scale
• Creating email banners and graphics (with no designer on staff) 
• Checking for mobile responsiveness across templates (with little HTML knowledge)
• Testing your email content (lack of feedback on subject lines, copy, A/B testing, etc)
• Customizing email templates and trying to stay consistent with branding guidelines
• Navigating through ambiguous IT documentation around email domains

Regardless if you are a team of one or a team 15+, this Pardot Email guide can help you take your email templates to the next level with a few simple clicks.
