Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a marketing automation software, which helps businesses to improve the efficiency of their marketing activities. And it does so providing:

Having gained experience with Salesforce Marketing Cloud, we’re able to deliver a set of related services from consulting to support aimed to help your business benefit from using the software.
We choose to introduce Salesforce Data Management Platform (DMP) first as it’s a hub of marketing data that will be further leveraged by other marketing tools. The DMP captures and stores data from all customer touchpoints (e.g., emails, live chat, phone calls, social media) giving your marketing team insights into the audience. From there, they can segment customers based on a variety of attributes and personalize communication by customizing marketing activities to interests and needs of particular segments. This data-driven approach is likely to pay off with more engaged customers and, therefore, higher revenue.
Interaction Studio serves to capture every customer interaction with your brand across all touchpoints in real time. Its power is in delivering the data right when it can be used to the best advantage. With the Studio, marketers get suggested the best action or journey adapted to how a customer’s interaction with a company is unfolding at a given moment. For example, they will be able to personalize product recommendations during an online shopping journey of a customer based on the products the latter has browsed.
Salesforce offers Data Studio – a data-sharing solution that creates a safe environment for data owners and purchasers to connect directly and exchange the information. Basically, Data Studio is a marketplace of second-party data. This means that marketers have a unique opportunity to discover new audiences and include them in marketing activities. Let’s say, a sports retailer could purchase a database of subscribers to an online workout resource and launch a campaign offering them sportswear.
Email Studio provides extensive functionality covering all the features required to effectively communicate with customers via emails:

For example, in Advertising Studio, one can create upsell ads tailored to the purchase history of customers. As a result, they are more likely to click and move on to shopping – the aim is achieved.
Your team can turn to Mobile Studio to:
The bigger your customer base grows and the more communication channels you engage, the more challenging it becomes to achieve data-driven customer-focused marketing. This is when marketers will fully appreciate Journey Builder to create communication scenarios for different customer segments (created with the help of data management tools) and engage with them timely and in the winning way (using customer communication tools). Journeys unfold depending on how customers react to marketing actions. For example, one can send an offer with the product assortment to new customers a week after their first purchase. The two possible pathways for the journey are:
Journey Builder in Salesforce Marketing Cloud allows developing targeted marketing campaigns for a large customer base effectively.
