The Salesforce ecosystem is home to so many resources, that strive to provide customers and partners with the right knowledge and tools to succeed. From visionary whitepapers and eBooks that explain what the Marketing Cloud can do, to step-by-step guides and how-to articles that help users with the every day doing, there is no shortage of content. We see this tangible content as our go-to resources, but for Marketing Cloud users, there’s a little-known resource that may help inspire you and your team’s marketing efforts. The best part? You don’t necessarily have to look (or go) very far.
In the marketing world, we’re all familiar with personalization. So why not get up close and personal with fellow Marketing Cloud users in your city?
Salesforce facilitates User Groups that bring users together based on region and/or vertical. User Groups offer a forum to explore new features, updates to existing functionalities and brainstorm solutions to common marketing challenges. By facilitating an exchange of ideas between marketing professionals, User Groups ensures that all Marketing Cloud customers are able to extract value while also contributing to the user community in a meaningful way. What makes User Groups different than other Salesforce resources is that they’re groups created and managed by customers — real Marketing Cloud users with unique experiences and business insight to offer. User Groups are typically hosted in person four times a year, but there are a variety of online groups that provide a continuous forum for questions and idea generation. In addition to honing in on a specific feature or topic for each meeting, users are also able to step out of their everyday work environment and meet new people.
Get inspired and grow your professional network by getting involved with your local User Group.
Check out the complete list of User Groups here. Bubblebox is proud to be hosting the Vancouver User Group on Wednesday, September 14th – and you’re invited! Get all the details here.
