Learn How to Use Basic and Custom Reports in Salesforce
 

We recently held a session on creating basic and custom reports in Salesforce. The presentation is available on Marketing Operations Toolbox under Resources. This module is good for beginners or those who need a refresher on how to filter, group or display reports.

The Salesforce Help section includes an area called the Trailheads, which is a great resource for help with custom reports and dashboards. Check out:

 

In addition, you can check out a few examples of marketing-sourced reports from Salesforce:

 

 

Third-party Cookies in Salesforce

A recent browser update in Chrome disables third-party
cookies by default, which is impacting some features in Salesforce including Engage and Profiler. Users have reported not being able to access these tools.

The CRM team have addressed this in the News section of Salesforce (top right of home page) and have provided instructions on how to resolve the issue.

Please contact us if you are still having access issues with Profiler and Engage after following the actions outlined in the instructions.

 

LinkedIn Message Ads: Everything You Need to Know.

LinkedIn Message Ads are a powerful tool for B2B marketers looking to directly engage with their target audience. This guide from LinkedIn provides everything you should know about Message Ads, from their basic definition to objectives.

 

What are LinkedIn Message Ads?

Message ads deliver direct messages to your prospects through LinkedIn Messaging, encouraging action. These ads are native, meaning they’re designed to blend seamlessly with regular LinkedIn messages. They can appear on both desktop and mobile devices. Here’s an example of a Message Ad:

What’s the difference between Message Ads and Conversation Ads?

Both types of ads are forms of sponsored messaging through LinkedIn.

  • Message ads consist of a targeted message with a single call-to-action button that drives to a landing page. 
  • Conversation ads consist of a targeted message with multiple call-to-action buttons that can drive to a landing page, open a lead gen form, or provide more information in follow-up messages.

You can find more details on the differences between message and conversations ads by visiting this on-line page.

Are there any restrictions on Message Ads that I should be aware of?

In October, LinkedIn started supporting European Union (EU) targeting for sponsored messaging conversations and message ad campaigns. Only EU members who agreed to receive sponsored messaging ads in their LinkedIn inbox will experience this change.

If you are interested in exploring message advertisements, please contact Sandeep Kamboj or complete our paid intake form with required details and someone from the team will contact you.
