Selected Marketing-Cloud-Consultant Marketing Cloud Consultant Questions Answers

To inject customers into journey B based on email engagement in journey A, Northern Trail Outfitters should use an engagement split followed by a contact activity in journey A. The engagement split can evaluate if customers opened or clicked the email in journey A. The contact activity can update a boolean field on an engagement data extension that indicates if customers are eligible for journey B. Then, an automation can run a query activity to select the customers who have the boolean field set to true and inject them into journey B. References: &type=5 &type=5

To maintain a good sender reputation, Northern Trail Outfitters should have one dedicated IP address for every 100,000 messages send per month. This will help them avoid IP throttling and blacklisting issues. A shared IP address is not recommended for their volume, and having multiple SAPs for different types of sends is not necessary. They should also send consistently and avoid large spikes or drops in their sending volume. References: &type=5 &type=5

To separate subscriber opt-outs of the Enterprise and children’s brands, Northern Trail Outfitters should select “Subscribers will be unsubscribed from this business unity only” in Settings for each child business unit. This will allow subscribers to unsubscribe from one brand without affecting their subscription status for another brand. References: &type=5

Two best practices that should be utilized for configuring customer data for long-term cleanliness and maintainability are:

• When using an external database of record, utilize that system’s identifier as the contact key. This will ensure that contacts can be identified and tracked across different channels and platforms using a consistent and persistent value.
• Define the subscriber key as a unique value that does not relate to a specific channel. This will allow contacts to change their email or mobile device without affecting their subscriber key or losing their tracking history.

Configuring Contact Builder to automatically generate a unique subscriber key is not recommended, as it may create duplicate or inconsistent records if contacts already have an identifier in another system. Regularly merging duplicate contacts is not a best practice, but rather a remedial action that should be avoided by using proper data hygiene techniques. References: &type=5
