• Buyers today research independently.
• 80-90% of the journey is anonymous.
• They expect a seamless, personalized journey.
• Yet, most websites are unable to offer those experiences.

23. What Else Have We Learned?
Our playbook works!
But not every campaign gets the same results.
And we’ve learned some lessons along the way…
24. Lesson #1:
A/B Test as Much as Possible
You may just be surprised!
• Static images beat GIFs on exit intent.
• Powerbars beat sliders for webinar sign-ups.
• Demo offers beat trial offers on product pages.
• Product screenshots beat general graphics.
• But general graphics beat people!
A/B test winner!
A/B test loser!
25. Lesson #2:
Keep It Simple
Don’t go overboard on targeting!
Too specific audiences = too few impressions.
Keep TrenDemon form fields to a minimum.
No one wants to fill out more than 1–2 fields on a pop-up.
26. Lesson #3:
Use Insights to Adjust Your Marketing Strategy
SQL journeys often have “strategy” content in their history.
This helped us decide to promote “strategy” content with and without TrenDemon (e.g., event attendees).
27. What’s Next For Perforce + TrenDemon?
✔ Set up Drift audiences.
• Use Drift audiences to
improve our collaboration
between TrenDemon
promotions & Drift chats.
• Create 6sense audiences.
✔ Explore the ABM add-on.
• Use the new 6sense
integration to create more
targeted TrenDemon
campaigns.
28. The Audience-Based Marketing Playbook
Based on external sources like
6Sense segments or internal
activities like onite engagement,
survey answers or MA/CRM
attributes.
Convert your content into
engagement units (banners, CTAs,
etc.)
Experiment by engaging different
audiences with different creatives and
measuring the impact on engagement
and bottom of funnel goals.
