About Engaging Today’s Empowered Consumer with 1:1, Real-Time Conversations
Today’s consumer is demanding – he/she is empowered and hyper-connected. Brands need to find new ways to engage with this empowered consumer if they want to build meaningful relationships that deepen loyalty, strengthen brand advocacy and drive transactions. But how can marketers do this effectively, when data and functional silos still exist and communications are still treated as campaigns vs. a powerful tool to build and sustain ongoing, meaningful dialogues across channels?
By utilizing additional customer data that may exist outside of functional silos, creating a culture that embraces continuous testing, and leveraging predictive modeling and segmentation, brands can now go beyond simply “sending messages” and connect with customers in a more personal and more powerful way than ever before.
In this session, Experian Marketing Services will:
·Explore how to create and maintain a holistic view of customers across marketing channels
·Identify common customer touch points that marketers can use to extend the conversation with their customers
·Demonstrate how to build a culture of continuous testing and implement strategies based on results
