Marketing is Getting More Complex
Search, social media, and mobile devices have empowered consumers and fragmented the customer journey. Consumers complete more of the decision process before interacting with your company and increasingly expect relevant experiences when they do.
Companies Have Lots of Data But Limited Context
With the proliferation of customer data in CRM, eCommerce, web analytics, loyalty programs, and other databases, enterprises have troves of information about their customers. Yet companies often understand and engage customers in the context of their transactions, rarely as individuals.
Learn About Prospects and Customers Via Social Media
Social media has played a major role in empowering consumers and compounding the complexity of today’s customer journey. Yet social media is also imbued with customer insights unavailable from other channels. Insights about interests, behaviors, and relationships can be used to improve the effectiveness of existing customer engagement methods, like email, advertising, and web content.
