It’s March again. Wasn’t it just March for about 412 days? I do hope this email reaches you during a time of renewed hope as we begin to emerge from this dark year. I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to getting back to conferences and events and in-person learning, but I am always grateful to have you in my virtual Pardot community!
When reviewing the articles and blogs that I’ve earmarked over the past month, one theme jumped out at me – building connections through storytelling. There’s nothing like a good story to pull a user in and engender trust. And, we all know the very best stories leave one wanting more, providing your organization with a natural hook for conversions. As usual, you’ll see a mix of Pardot-specific and broader marketing engagement resources below. Let me know what speaks to you!

ARTICLE: How To Create a Culture of Storytelling at Your Nonprofit
“Stories will help you express your mission to people who may know nothing about you or your cause initially. Statistics may shock and awe for a moment, but they will rarely get people to take action. And action is the key, because that is what nonprofit communication is all about!”
I’d add to this to note that segmentation and personalization in Pardot is what allows you to share the right story to the right individual. Marrying a compelling story with the right distribution tool is the golden ticket.
