\"How<\/span><\/p>\n

Requests from your marketing team are pouring in left, right, and center.<\/p>\n

Your email marketer needs access to a tool, your content writer needs a brief for your latest blog post, and your social media strategist is asking for an increase in budget.<\/p>\n

How do you manage all of those requests without going stir-crazy?<\/p>\n

The answer: A marketing request form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What Is A Marketing Request Form?<\/h2>\n

Before we dive in with the details, let\u2019s be clear on what a marketing request form is.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the simple definition: It\u2019s a form that your team can submit to request something related to your marketing strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Requests could be related to anything your marketing team handles\u2014such as budget, new ideas, or asking for access to a toolkit. Anyone on your team can submit a request, but they\u2019re usually handled by someone senior, like a Marketing Ops Manager or CMO.<\/p>\n

But a marketing request form isn\u2019t just a faff, or a form that you spend hours creating but don\u2019t actually use.<\/p>\n

Marketing request forms solve five huge problems.<\/p>\n

\"5<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Requests Getting Lost<\/h3>\n

You know the feeling: You\u2019re planning a campaign<\/a>. But just before you\u2019re about to launch, you\u2019ve been asked by your social media manager<\/a> to up budget, and your copy team has some last-minute changes.<\/p>\n

How do you make sure those things get done?<\/p>\n

A marketing request form prevents important tasks from getting missing in action. It gets rid of poorly articulated requests coming in from multiple places, and instead puts them into a consistent format, funneled through one location.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t lose track of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Forgetting About Them<\/h3>\n

The average office worker receives 121 emails per day<\/a>. Combine that with Slack notifications and in-office chat, and your to-do list probably won\u2019t be bulletproof.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already mentioned that requests go missing when they\u2019re flying in from all directions.<\/p>\n

However, another benefit of a marketing request form is that they funnel all requests into one place\u2014rather than noting them on sticky notes (which you\u2019ll probably forget about.)<\/p>\n

Replace your sticky notes with a marketing request form. Here’s how:<\/p>\n

3. Being Unsure Who Asked for What<\/h3>\n

Picture this: Someone passed through you in the corridor and mentioned they wanted to chat about a new campaign idea. When you\u2019ve got time to chat about it, you forgot who asked. You need to go round the office and disrupt people\u2019s workflows to find out.<\/p>\n

That won\u2019t do any favors for productivity<\/a>\u2014especially if you\u2019re doing a scavenger hunt in the office to find the person you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

A request form solves that problem\u2026 if you have a Name field.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

4. Not Getting All the Information Needed<\/h3>\n

You can control exactly what someone needs to enter when they submit a form.<\/p>\n

It will likely have a field for important things like:<\/p>\n
