The Expert’s Guide to Pardot Email Marketing [EBOOK]

This blog was written before Pardot was renamed to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. You can read more about the name change and what it means here.

When it comes to Pardot email marketing, there's a list of things you need to consider before you even begin to create an email - what type of email are you sending? Who are you sending it to? How does it fit into your email marketing strategy? These are just a few of the many important questions to think about.

Only once you’re clear on the type of email you’re sending and whether it’s a transactional (also known as operational in Pardot terminology) or marketing communication; who your audience is and your segmentation approach; the objective of your email and so on, can you then work on your email builds and the technical side of email marketing.

Then, when it comes to the actual setup, you’ll need to consider things like the components of your email, what to include in the email body copy, design best practice, GDPR compliance, automation settings, and email testing.
