13. IN PLAIN ENGLISH
We fill up Eloqua with a bunch of rules, emails,
landing pages - all the tools we have.
As people click, download, browse, etc., Eloqua
learns about them.
According to what they’ve done (or haven’t done)
Eloqua then sends emails automatically to them
that fit their interests, needs and/or buying stage.
We win.
14. A COUPLE SAMPLES OF HOW THIS WORKS
A long-time client, Jill Kover, comes to our site to check
out our new cruises. She always goes to Paris with us
but wants to explore more of France so she submits a
question via the form on the Viking Portraits of Southern
France page. Eloqua sends her emails relevant to the
cruise and France. She books another Paris Untour and
a cruise.
A new visitor to our site has been checking us out for a
while now and decides to download the wine map. As
soon as he gives us his email address to download it,
Eloqua knows who he is and where he’s been on our
site. With that information, Eloqua sends content
relevant to him web travels. He books a Prague Untour
to meet Alena and try a bottle of Sanctus Victoria.
