Enhanced connectivity across multiple channels while benefiting from insightful reports
The features I found most valuable in Salesforce Marketing Cloud include auto-generated reports for the Journey, which are quite helpful, and the reports are sufficient, though I am not able to recollect much currently. The feature of Salesforce Marketing Cloud that has had the largest impact on improving my campaign outcomes is the recent WhatsApp integration, which allows Salesforce to connect with subscribers through different channels such as SMS, email, or WhatsApp. Regarding customer engagement, personalization capabilities in Salesforce Marketing Cloud enhance engagement because when customers feel that a brand knows them better, they recognize their choices better. In Marketing Cloud, I am able to personalize based on user choices and address them directly without coming across as a bot message.
