ParDreamin’ is less than a week away. Has your marketing team at your nonprofit organization or higher education institution signed up yet?
Giving Tuesday has just passed and many nonprofit teams are feeling the burn as they sprint through the remainder of the year with one last campaign push to entice their audiences to donate to their specific causes. On the other hand, educational institutions have had to pivot to online marketing tactics as in-person recruiting events have become practically non-existent due to COVID-19. The pandemic has forced many to reimagine the way they approach their online audience.
Join us Dec 8 – 11, 2020 as we come together and share how different organizations have pivoted and leaned on the power of marketing automation to continue to push their marketing forward, while creating engaging experiences for their audiences with email and beyond. Register for ParDreamin’ here.
Below is the official MUST SEE Non-Profit & Higher Ed agenda for ParDreamin’ 2020.

AGENDA
DEC 9, 2020
PARDOT & EDA: SOLUTIONING FOR HIGHER ED

This session is hosted by Michelle Littlefield. Why join? This is a great session to learn more about how you can segment and qualify your prospective students. However, this session could be applied to segmenting current students, volunteers, donors, and so much more. Bonus, these tactics can be applied to any industry.

COOL HANDLEBAR MERGE LANGUAGE (HML) TRICKS
This session will cover Handlebars Merge Language. Pardot HML Isn’t just for “Hi Bill / Hi Friend” subject lines. There are all kinds of applications when we use it as a form of yes/no logic. With HML, even the lowest levels of Pardot accounts have access to this limited form of dynamic content.
This session will present the HML if/else format with several suggested applications that go beyond the subject line, including:
- Combining HML merge tags with URL parameters to create dynamic URLS that can lead to customized content
- Combining HML merge tags with URLs to pre-fill third-party forms
- Using HML to present alternative custom redirects to achieve different completion actions from the same email.

ALWAYS BE TESTING: HOW NONPROFITS CAN USE PARDOT TO INCREASE IMPACT
This session will cover testing tactics for landing pages. Many people A/B test their email campaigns using Pardot. However, many people are not aware that you can also A/B test your landing pages. In addition to this, you can also use Google analytics and a HotJar to collect information on not only how long visitors are on your landing page but also where they are spending the most time. This session will cover at a high level some of the different types of testing you can do with assets across pardon including some additional tools that can make it easier to identify if your landing pages are converting.
This session will be hosted by Kirsten Kippen & Sheridan Marfil. Why join? Just as personalization is crucial to your marketing success, so is testing. Testing our content helps us avoid the trap of thinking marketing automation is “set it and forget it”. This session will show you how to keep growing (your donor list, your enrollment, and your marketing chops).
NOT JUST FOR CUSTOMERS: USE PARDOT TO REVOLUTIONIZE NEW HIRE ONBOARDING
