  • Updated

Important: The availability of some features described in this article depends on your version of Demandbase One. Contact your Demandbase Admin about the features available.

Demandbase One provides several ways to create account lists for an advertising use case:

  • Integrate predictive scores and/or firmographic data
  • Import data from CRM or marketing automation
  • Upload an Excel file
  • Use Demandbase Journey Stages 

Demandbase monitors content consumption behaviors throughout the Web and uses artificial intelligence to discover engagement patterns. As well, Demandbase identifies engagement patterns with a high likelihood of being in-market for your solutions while also uncovering decision makers and stakeholders for a given account in the lists you create.

You'll use the Demandbase Selector tool to create new account lists for an ad campaign. The broad swath of Selector filters help you pinpoint accounts with the strongest buying signals—and at any Journey Stage that you want to select. Account lists can range from unaware target accounts for a top-of-funnel strategy to an account list of existing customers showing growth behaviors. You can use these lists with your next ad campaign to drive optimal business outcomes.

Requirements:

  • Demandbase ABX Platform
  • Demandbase Advertising

The following information provides an overview of what’s possible with account lists and how you can capitalize on them in your advertising campaigns. See Create and Access Accounts Lists to learn the actual steps for establishing and managing account lists in the Demandbase ABX Platform.

  • Industry
  • Pipeline Predict > 85
  • Opportunity Stage
  • Engagement Minutes
  • Post-Marketing Qualified Account (MQA) Journey Stage

Up-Sell Current Customers

Identifying and targeting existing customers for an up-sell can help increase growth pipeline and revenue, resulting in higher lifetime customer value. Demandbase Selectors assist you with identifying which customers are in-market for your up-sell solution. Consider the following Selectors if your campaign goal is to increase growth pipeline and revenue:

  • Account Type = Customer
  • Products Owned = Not Product B
  • Website Visits = Product B Product Page
  • Keyword Set = Product B with High Strength
  • Customer Health = Good
  • Renewal Date with operator = In the Future After and selected field = 6 months
