What Is A/B Testing?
A process to identify which variables in an asset increase, or maximize, your desired outcome.
Example: Two variations of an email are sent, and after a set amount of time has passed, the two emails are compared to see which “performed” better.
Common analytics used to determine a winner:• Open Rate• Click Rate• Bounce Rate• Unsubscribe Rate• Conversion Rate (Landing Page A/B Testing)
![Page 20: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Page 21
Variables to use in A/B Testing
• Day of the week
• Time
• Subject Line
• From Name
• From Email Address
• Length of email
Best PracticeIsolate a single variable as your test variable
and be sure your audience size is large enough to test properly.
• Number of links in email• HTML vs. Text-Only
• Offer: Example: 50% off versus $200 Off!)• Button Text• Call-To-Action placement
• Graphics vs. No Graphics

• Great for cloning!
Events – build with Program tokens!

• Consider inherited tokens when you design foldering structure:
• Top level (Marketing activity): Copyright dates, Corporate address, Security notice, etc
• Local level (Regional) Translated versions of the above, local info

• Are the emails being sent out on a regular cadence?• Can the audience be split up into clearly defined groups?• If individuals can change cadence or emails partway through the
journey, does this happen based on an action?
If the answer to all questions is yes, you can use the engagement program.

Marketo Program Assets and Smart Campaigns – Some general Best Practices and technical stuff
![Page 31: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Check your tags• Add a period cost! Even for emails.
Program Setup Best Practices
![Page 32: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Try to create as few forms as possible and use global forms on many registration landing pages.
Form Best Practices

• No! Always add the “web page” constraint.
Doesn’t using master forms interfere with attribution?
![Page 34: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• The way you build your smart lists can have a dramatic impact on how well they perform. Sometimes you can accomplish the same thing significantly faster simply by changing the order of the items in your list.
• The basic principles of smart list performance:• Simpler filters run faster.• Fewer filters run faster.• Fewer choices within filters run faster.
Tips for Improving Smart List Performance
![Page 35: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Keep the number of Add Choices in a given flow step to less than 25 for best performance.
• Limit the number of add choices in a send email flow step for fastest sending; consider using static lists and separate smart campaigns
• Keep the total number of flow steps in a single smart campaign to less than 25
Best Practices for Smart Campaigns
![Page 36: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Try to use batch campaigns scheduled for nights and weekends when possible
• Utilize the Campaign Inspector and Campaign Queue to monitor smart campaign activity and performance
• Be aware that Marketo automatically deactivates unused triggers after 6 months
• Archiving does not turn off triggers!
Best Practices for Smart Campaigns
![Page 37: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• When using a Data Values Changes trigger, remember that changing from a null/empty value does not count as a change.
• Triggers are always OR.• Advanced filters do not apply to triggers, only to filters.• Minimize the use of contains/not contains with more
than 100 choices.• When using triggers and filters in the same smart
campaign, make sure that the filter criteria will already be met before moment of the trigger.
Best Practices for Smart Campaigns

Channel Best PracticesChannels, Analytics Behavior and Tags

• Email Send (with the new Email program type)• Email (consider changing to “multiple emails”)• Operational (for data management programs, lead
lifecycle, etc.) – Programs which don’t need to appear in reporting
• Web (Contact Us, Subscription, Gated and Un-Gated Content)
• Nurture
Highly Recommended Channels
![Page 41: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Officially you only need membership and success statuses for each program
• Add additional statuses for things you want to report on that aren’t available by default
Determining Statuses within Channels
![Page 42: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
MKTO Standard Channel:
Example:
Customised Channel:

• Don’t!• Creating too many triggered
smart campaigns may slow down the performance of Marketo
Tracking Opens and Clicks as Program Statuses
![Page 44: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Ask yourself “What’s the objective of this program” “How do I know if this program did well or not”
• Remember: you don’t want to• Be so strict that you are hardly ever
“successful”
• Remember: you DO want to• Give credit where credit is due for a
marketing success
Deciding on Success
![Page 45: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Geography (region or country)• Program owner/creator • Product or business unit• Theme/campaign• Audience (e.g. customer, prospect, partner)
It is best practice to create all tags before starting to create any programs.
You can add tags to programs later… but that can be a pain.
Consider These Tags for all Program Types
![Page 46: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
NamingPrograms, Smart Campaigns, Forms
![Page 47: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• When deciding on order, consider reporting:Easy to sort Not easy to sort
• Suggest you go from highest level reporting down to most specific, e.g. Region-Year-Program Type-Description (NA-2014-EV-Marketo-Summit)
• Dashes are preferred over underscores since underscores become hard to see when hyperlinked
Program Naming
![Page 48: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Number them in the order they run• 01• 02
• Don’t repeat program name• Describe what the campaign does (with a verb)• Be generic (so you don’t need to rename when you clone)
Smart Campaign Naming
![Page 49: Marketo Best practices for Program Building and Execution](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5873ba761a28abbc788b53e9/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
In Summary…

• Make sure you’ve given due consideration to the Admin factors (Tags, Channels, Success)
• Enforce best practices on everyone using Marketo
• Sit down with Sales and other people from the business and review whether you instance in set up in such a way that it supports your goals
• Make yourself (and Marketing in general) visible! Subscribe stakeholders to the Marketo reports.
In Summary
