So you are a brand/business owner who has invested or considered investing in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC)âa leading marketing automation platform that promises personalized marketing, automated customer journeys, and seamless integrations.
But hereâs the real make-or-break question ~ Are you actually getting the most out of it?
To burst your bubble, the answer is probably not.
Well, for starters, SFMC is an incredibly powerful but complex tool. Without the right expertise, your campaigns might be missing the mark, emails could be landing in spam, and your ROI might not justify the investment.
You might be asking yourself:
âïž Why arenât my SFMC campaigns performing as expected?
âïž How do I improve email deliverability and engagement?
âïž Do I really need an SFMC expert, or can my in-house team manage it? How much will hiring an SFMC expert cost?
Thatâs where Mavlers comes in. With 10+ years of experience and expertise being a certified Salesforce Partner our experts donât just âmanageâ SFMCâwe transform it into a high-performing marketing engine that drives real revenue.
Letâs dive into why hiring an SFMC expert from Mavlers might be the smartest move for your business.

Why you need an SFMC expert (And why DIY might not cut it)
While Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) is quite a power-packed marketing automation tool, it can come with a learning curve that might be tough to navigate for the uninitiated.
In the absence of the right expertise, itâs easy to feel like youâre driving a race car without knowing how to shift gears. Hereâs why hiring an expert is a smart move:
- Itâs powerful but overwhelming
SFMC comes packed with tools like Journey Builder, Email Studio, and Einstein AI. Sounds amazing, right? But without knowing how to use them properly, you might end up wasting time and missing opportunities.
- Get the best out of data with the right strategy
SFMC is all about data-driven marketing, but raw data means nothing if youâre not segmenting audiences, automating the right messages, and personalizing content. Without expertise, youâre just sending emails into the void.
- If your emails land in spam, whatâs the point?
Poor IP reputation, sender authentication issues, and weak deliverability can tank even the best campaigns. SFMC experts fix these problems so your emails actually land in inboxes (and get opened!).
- Maximize campaign ROI
Sure, you can figure things out as you go, but at what cost? An expert helps you set up, optimize, and track campaigns so you get real resultsânot just trial and error.
Could your team handle SFMC on their own? Maybe. But how much time (and money) will you lose figuring it out?
On the other hand, a seasoned SFMC expert takes the guesswork out and makes sure every campaign works smarter, not harder.Â

How Mavlers helped an e-commerce brand increase email engagement by 16%
When a leading e-commerce retailer came to us, they had a problem they needed help with: their emails werenât reaching their customers. A huge chunk of their messages was ending up in spam, open rates were not making the cut, and customers were tuning out.
The reason? They were sending generic, one-size-fits-all emails with no personalization or proper audience segmentation.
Hereâs how we fixed it
â Smart segmentation: We analyzed customer behavior, purchase history, and engagement levels to send the right message to the right people at the right time.
â Personalized content: Instead of blasting the same email to everyone, we used dynamic content and AI-driven personalization to tailor messages to different customer segments.
â Deliverability optimization: We fixed IP reputation issues, implemented sender authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and tweaked sending patterns to improve inbox placement and keep emails out of spam folders.
The results? Absolutely game-changing.
đ 16% boost in email engagement â This translated into more opens, more clicks, more conversions.
đ© Better inbox placement â Emails finally landed where they were supposed to which is, the primary inbox.
