How to Maximize your Cloud Marketing Investment in 2025: Practical Guide
If your company has already invested in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, you're on the right track.
But here comes the big question: are you getting the maximum return on that investment?
The reality is that a large percentage of companies using Marketing Cloud only take advantage of 30-40% of its real potential, according to recent industry studies.
This means that there is a huge opportunity to multiply your results without spending an additional peso on licenses.
2025 brings with it new functionality, emerging trends in digital marketing, and changes in consumer behavior that can radically transform your bottom line.
The difference between companies that thrive and those that stagnate is not in the tool they use, but in how they use it.
In this practical guide, we share with you the 5 essential strategies that are generating the best results this year, explained in simple terms.
1. Focus on Smart Personalization, Not Just Names.
The shift in 2025: Consumers are no longer impressed by a simple "Hello John" in the mail. They now expect truly personalized experiences based on their behavior and preferences.
What works now:
Basic Personalization Basics You Should Implement:
