But what exactly is Salesforce and how can it benefit your business?
What is Salesforce?
Salesforce is a customer relationship management (CRM) platform. It is cloud-based software that can help your business manage its interactions with customers, clients, and sales prospects. It provides tools for sales, customer service, marketing automation, analytics, and app development.
The idea behind Salesforce is to provide a single, centralized place for your company to manage all customer data and interactions, helping you improve your customer relationships and grow your business.
What is Salesforce Marketing Cloud?
This popular feature of the Salesforce suite is a marketing automation platform that helps increase customer engagement, provides a personalized experience, and improves customer satisfaction.
Salesforce Marketing Cloud allows for:
Real-time customer engagement
Social media engagement, listening and advertising
Email and marketing automation
SMS messaging and push notifications
WhatsApp messaging and push notifications
Customer marketing analytics
With Salesforce Marketing Cloud, you can create targeted email and mobile campaigns, track customer interactions and get insights on campaign performance. Additionally, it offers integrations with other Salesforce products and third-party platforms, which means you can streamline your marketing efforts and improve customer experiences.
Salesforce Marketing Cloud users span many industries and company sizes and while it is mainly considered an enterprise-level platform, its different editions make it flexible enough for any organization, including yours!

Which Salesforce features are popular in Africa?
Local businesses find Salesforce Email and SMS Studios particularly useful. These tools can help you create and manage email and text message campaigns designed to wow your audience. They allow you to communicate with customers using the channels they find most convenient and help you track the performance of your campaigns in real time.
Due to the popularity of the App, many African businesses love that Salesforce allows for the integration of WhatsApp. This partnership makes it easier than ever to send automated notifications, promote products and services and offer live support or after-sales services to your customers.
With Email, WhatsApp, and SMS Studios, you can:
Build messages: Use pre-designed templates or create your own messages from scratch using a drag-and-drop editor.
Manage lists: Import and manage email and text message lists, segment them based on specific criteria, and ensure that only the right people receive the right messages.
Track results: Track opens, clicks, and conversions and use this information to make data-driven decisions about future campaigns.
