(Soccer) Goals

Segment and personalize member communications

United Soccer Coaches is the largest worldwide organization for soccer coaches of youth, high school, college, professional, and clubs.

Following a migration to Salesforce and Fonteva, United Soccer Coaches (“United”) wanted to up their game, so to speak, with email marketing communications and leverage the integration between Fonteva and Pardot.

First and foremost United wanted to be able to segment its many members by any number of facets – coaching level, location, active vs. lapsed, and many more. Beyond advanced segmentation, the marketing and membership teams needed to be able to personalize communications based on one or more criterion.

Challenges

High volume and tight timeframe

  • United sends thousands of emails per week and needed to be fully migrated from Informz to Pardot in less than six weeks with no interruption in email communication.
  • United uses Fonteva for member management and several fields from Fonteva Objects needed to be created in Pardot and synced to Salesforce and Fonteva in order to be utilized in segmentation and personalized content.
