Leverage Marketo Token Programs

One powerful tool to leverage in Marketo is tokens. Program tokens are reusable contents  that marketers use across multiple assets within a specific program. Tokens dramatically increase the speed of campaign creation by enabling you to easily change asset contents across your different landing pages, emails and smart campaigns.

One great example would be a program that includes a reminder notice and a registration confirmation. Usually content in such programs tends to stay the same except for the key details such as date, time and location. But with the help of tokens, all these key details can be updated easily and uniformly while reducing the percentage of error.

Consider the setup of an average webinar, where you will have local assets such as emails, landing pages and smart campaigns. Sometimes you even have to either create them from scratch, edit or clone past events. All these processes could be very time consuming.

Before we start, let’s take a look at some examples of Marketo tokens.

  •  {{my.Webinar Title}} – The most used token in a webinar program. This is the title that is used in every asset, sometimes multiple times.
  •  {{my.Webinar Date}} – The date of the webinar that is used in various confirmation emails, invites, landing pages and more.
  •  {{my.Webinar Time}} – The time of the webinar that is used in various confirmation emails, invites, landing pages and more.
  •  {{my.Webinar Image Banner}} – Link to the image file that is used for all the thank you and landing pages.
  •  {{my.Webinar Hero Image}} – The hero shot for the landing page.
  •  {{my.Webinar Detail}} – The copy used for the landing page.
  •  {{my.Webinar Phone Info}} – Phone information for the webinar that is added to reminders.
  •  {{my.Webinar Registration Link}} – The link that comes from the webinar provider so the registrant can attend the webinar.

From the list of tokens above, it can be seen that almost anything can be made into a token. This is impactful because what you only need to do is to edit the tokens and the contents in your program will be automatically updated. Also, as mentioned above, this will greatly reduce the percentage of error in your programs and campaigns. Program tokens is a tool that separates the great from the good digital marketers.

With the help of tokens, marketers only need to configure the content in each of the assets once and linking the content to the tokens. If this is done correctly, a marketer can configure all the values as tokens and avoid the need of having to edit the content directly as all this is done only to the tokens and these tokens will auto-populate the asset with the latest and most updated information.

No doubt that the initial phase of setting up the tokens within your programs may take some time, but by doing so, you will reap the fruits of its labour as it proves to provide more data consistency. Also, it makes it easier to standardize all the information by only editing the information tagged to each token.

    How to Fix Marketing Operations Challenges Using Documentation?

    Most marketing operations teams grapple in managing their data, and in 2020, the problem is still posing a challenge for many marketers and companies. Managing data is highly important, especially when running your marketing operation remotely based on virtual communication and collaboration.  The challenge is not limited to assigning roles and access, sharing and exchanging […]
  • The consequences of the coronavirus outbreak have been felt across most nations and economies; a plethora of predictable impacts are expected to affect B2B marketing functions. Marketing leaders and businesses that can predict these impacts on the B2B marketing environment will be better prepared to guide their teams to handle a crisis and challenging economy with speed and the right skills. The areas in which marketing operations teams need to make the most adjustments and improvements to respond to these major impacts are marketing strategies, performance measurement, budget reallocation and control, and optimum reuse of existing assets and resources. So, what are the major disruptions that marketing operation leaders and entrepreneurs need to be prepared for? 4 Marketing Operations Disruptions Marketing Leaders Need to Be Prepared for Most of us across the world are still following social distancing rules, whether voluntarily or imposed by the government. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the business, economy, and personal lives. There are several long-term impacts on the economy, customers’ lives, and customers’ responses towards marketing campaigns that led to these disruptions in the B2B marketing environment. These are four major disruptions that marketing operations leaders should expect and prepare their team to take the right actions: Changes in ROI Goals: As the worldwide economy is hit and disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the impacts of this widespread disruption are expected to continue affecting businesses and targeted customers for the rest of this year and possibly next year. Most organizations have been quick to predict their sales volume – while some businesses have reduced their targets, some have extended the time span when their sales and revenues goals are projected to hit. Many businesses have witnessed growth in demand resulting from the pandemic as it has rippled the need for specific products and services, such as delivery services, e-commerce, safety kits, and many others. Though the major part of forecasting circles around sales, revenue, and budget, marketing functions are also needed to be aligned to generate demand and improve sales pipeline. That’s why marketing operations need to reallocate the budget for the marketing processes that can boost the demand and aid in the sales pipeline. Marketers need to rethink their marketing strategies that can resonate with the targeted audience in disruptive market scenarios. Strategies based on previous sales and marketing success cannot be effective in such situations. Previously Dependable Performance Indicators Will Fail. Marketers need to develop a new set of performance metrics that will correspond to a new set of marketing strategies to deal with radical changes in the economic environment. Some performance indicators that worked in past campaigns will no longer aid marketers in evaluating their present campaigns that were needed to generate prospects and customers amid disruption. Your organization will need metrics such as campaign health scores that combine various factors to indicate product utilization such as people who have expressed interest in specific types of products and services and those who have utilized your products. Many businesses are noticed to perform poorly in some sectors and are deciding to restrict their budget partly or entirely. That includes the travel industry, hospitality industry, retail industry, among others. Is your business also operating in these segments and currently trading poorly, or is your industry noticing a hike in demand like those medical equipment segments or technologies supporting the growing work-from-home workforce? Marketers and leaders need to plan a stipulated time frame to see how their marketing efforts impact the customers, track if conversion rates are working as per the forecast and if marketing operations can work around the warning signs in a challenging economy. Evaluate the Right Segment to Focus On Businesses that are operating in hard-hit segments need to monitor and strategize on how to redirect their attention toward segments that are less likely to be hit by diminishing sales trends during a challenging economy. Portfolio marketers need to start revisiting the targeted audience base and adopt relative targeting practices to identify the segments which are likely to increase sales. Conduct a re-evaluation of market segments based on customer data and dedicate the various roles of marketing operations based on insights collected on those segments. Thus, marketing leaders can enhance their decision-making process. The most useful data ranges to consider to achieve the goal can be segment performance in previous campaigns, ideal customer profiles’ behavioral data, availability of contacts’ job details, and personal contact information in your database. Reallocate Marketing Budgets The marketing budget has been and most likely will continue to get hit by the crisis. The initial phase of changes may have led you to focus on digitally transforming all in-person events and marketing interactions. But as businesses are revising performance targets and priority targeted audiences, they also need to adjust their marketing spend in an enhanced level of the digitized version of marketing efforts for different markets. Leaders also need to prioritize their focus on some segments to generate new leads, nurture, and qualify those leads to improve the sales pipeline. Some businesses also consider focusing their marketing operations toward improving online reputation or toward reactivating existing customers. Considering all these priorities, marketing operations need to shuffle existing budgets to ensure your marketing investments are well-distributed. Next, articulate with your team to share your marketing goals, priorities, and investment. Use this strategic budget allocation strategy to manage your budgeting, marketing processes, and marketing operations teams to make the most use of redistributed investments to target and engage key customer segments and business objectives. Conclusion While making all these revisions and redistributions, marketing operations leaders need to identify key performance metrics according to new visions and plans.
