Marketo COULD HAVE been acquired by one of several enterprise application vendors that simply don’t get marketing. Moreover, Adobe’s product quality is world class — something that cannot be said for every software vendor that has acquired marketing automation. Adobe GETS marketing. And that’s a good thing.

Today I’ve put together a list of vendor blogs. Most of these vendors blogs really get ‘online marketing’, so they talk about best practices rather then just touting their products, and they post regularly. Eloqua Marketing Insights and Digital Body Language. For Eloqua I’m following two blogs.

The past two days I attended the Pardot User Conference , and also presented a session on Lead Nurturing. The sessions were about lead management, lead nurturing, content marketing, social media and Pardot product sessions. To organize a user conference, a vendor needs critical mass. And that’s impressive.

Naturally, the vendors showing them to me have all thought very carefully about their designs and made the best choices they could, typically based on feedback from their customers. So I thought I'd take a little scan of the demand generation systems I've looked at to see how the vendors themselves had voted.

My original plan had been to add several marketing automation vendors with significant presence in this market. My original set of products was based on a general knowledge of which companies are most established, plus some consultation with vendors to learn who they felt were their main competitors.

It's one example of how vendors are now competing to attract new users. This will put substantial pricing pressure on vendors who, in many cases, are already struggling to reach sustainable margins. Other vendors – notably Pardot – have followed a similar cost-removal strategy. Here’s where the free system comes back into play.

The main basis for my prediction is high growth that vendors reported in 2013, and in particular a trend towards higher revenue per client among the vendors who share that information with me. There’s still a bit of selection bias – it won’t work if a company isn’t on the Internet – but the impact is obviously much less.

Yet my impression from industry vendors and consultants is that most deployments start with a fairly extended planning stage where companies either document their existing campaigns and processes or, more likely, define a large number of new ones. The obvious answer is “it depends”, but that just begs the question, “Depends on what?”
