Targeted in-app messaging has increased event registrations and deepened insight into customer behavior
The best feature Pendo offers is the ability to relatively quickly get a message out to a highly segmented audience, though it does require some work. You can target anybody who hasn't logged in in the past 30 days or anybody who has logged in in the past 30 days, enabling very targeted communications.We saw direct impact on revenue through event registrations. When we did a webinar and invited customers, we could see that approximately 50% of our registrations came from Pendo as opposed to email.It impacted the organization positively because we have much more data as to how people interact with our product when they're in the product itself and what they click on. On a level of one to ten, I would say the impact was a nine.

Centralized customer data has powered predictive audiences and proactive marketing campaigns
The best features Segment offers are the audience building features. We've also launched predictive audiences, which is so far really promising for us and marketing has a lot of ideas for activating these types of audiences. We're going from using historical data to using current data to get more predictive with how we're activating. In my experience, the audience building tools compared to other solutions I've seen or used are really sophisticated. I've used other CRMs in the past for this, and I would say the type of data you're not getting as much of is what you do when you're activating or creating the audiences within the CDP. I think predictive audiences require a 360 view of the customer in order to create these types of AI audiences because they use a lot of different data points. How it's helping the team is by giving us more ways to reach our customers and being more proactive in the type of campaigns that marketing can launch. They have a lot of good ideas and some good things in the pipeline.
