How You Can Leverage (All Your) Customer Data to Scale Marketing Success

Published : September 11, 2018

The age of the customer is here and how! Customer perception can make or break your business. Consistently satisfactory experiences will potentially encourage positive referrals, testimonials, and 5 star reviews. On the flip-side, a poor experience can also spread through the same channels, and set you back significantly.

 Marketing campaigns are continuing to become more expensive as it is getting increasingly harder to get your customers’ attention. While it is difficult to get your customers’ attention, digitization – across multiple smart devices and communication channels – gives you a lot of opportunities to have an understanding of your customer.

What does that mean for businesses like yours?

Investment in technology: You need to invest in technology that can adequately monitor the multiple data points that are required to effectively engage the customer

• Data collection: Businesses need to take data collection seriously. Capturing multiple touch points of their customers including relevant demographic, geographic, techno-graphic, and behavioural data points – a unified view of your customers – lays the foundation for relevant marketing campaigns. A 360-degree view of your customers becomes pivotal to crafting and delivering effective marketing campaigns in the future.

A new understanding of customer behaviour: The captured data can then be sliced and diced to unearth golden behavioural insights backed by smart analytics. This can help you fine-tune your segmentation and targeting efforts

Churn analysis: Using various data points, you can now isolate/analyse trends that lead to customer drop-offs or inactivity

Implementation of value-based pricing: Once you understand your customers’ historical and real-time behaviour across both web and mobile channels, you can pitch only relevant products at the attractive prices to customer segments that are most likely to purchase, increasing your chances of conversions

Allowing AI/ML to empower selling: You can run highly targeted cross-sell/upsell multi-channel marketing campaigns, offering recommendations to customers based on the power of AI and ML.
