Zoho's Clever Marketing at Salesforce's Dreamforce

Enhancing Customer Experience at Dreamforce with a Creative Approach

Imagine attending Dreamforce, the monumental cloud computing event, and finding the event's cityscape teeming with enthusiastic attendees. Over 130,000 customers wandering through several blocks in San Francisco; the buzz is palpable, and the streets are abuzz with conversations about the future of tech.

As specialists in helping businesses maximize their potential, we at Consultants In-A-Box offer insights and enhancements to your CRM systems. And speaking of enhancements, let us share an intriguing narrative about how this approach transformed the experience for attendees at a leading industry event.

The event in question, put together by Salesforce.com, presents a curious challenge for competitors wishing to engage with attendees. Notably, teams from Zoho, a Salesforce competitor, took this challenge head-on and amplified the customer experience in unexpected ways.

• Free Rides: Navigating the bustling streets during Dreamforce can be a daunting task. To alleviate this, Salesforce.com customers were offered complimentary pedicab rides, courtesy of Zoho, ensuring they reached their next session or party with ease. This thoughtful gesture was not only appreciated but also sparked positive conversations.
• Delectable Snacks: The long event hours often left attendees seeking sustenance. Zoho went a step further by providing Salesforce.com customers with warm snacks, accompanied by cleverly branded napkins with contact details — an innovative way to introduce their brand.
• Social Media Amplification: Social media played a crucial role in broadening this initiative's reach. Zoho shared their efforts across platforms, resulting in high engagement rates on Twitter, greatly surpassing the engagement of other brands during the event. The positive buzz created through this strategy underscored the effectiveness of their campaign.

Now, what made this strategy work so well? Instead of being disruptive, it focused on aiding customers, a philosophy we at Consultants In-A-Box deeply resonate with. From offering practical solutions to navigating challenges, such techniques can lead to positive brand perception and genuine customer appreciation. Zoho's approach even saw Salesforce employees enjoying the benefits, indicating the universal appeal of considerate marketing strategies.

The results show that when you put the customer's experience first, the impact speaks volumes. High engagement rates and social media traction illustrated just how much customers valued these thoughtful efforts.
