Focus on Valuable Data - Not Big Data - to Boost Conversions and ROI | ClickZ - 0 views

  • Big Data has been all the rage. But fast data, even if it is small, can be more valuable than complicated masses of information.
  • Here's why: All the focus on "bigger is better" has overlooked the fact that most Big Data segments have not been validated with a business application or value.
  • Those kinds of analytics can help you find the right streams to access and work with, and also can help you build out robust programs that identify valuable customers.

  • 1) Your First-Party Data: The primary and most valuable data set you can access, first-party data encompasses transactional and other customer-level profile information you have on your customers. It could also include your own off-line segmentation analysis that allows you to map a customer to a customer profile around which you build your marketing programs. This can also include your analytics or other on-site tracking data, which can deliver behavioral insight to your consumers. This data can be difficult to export from its current environment due to the ad hoc nature of the data, but, if possible, look at ways to make this information accessible to your digital sites. 2) Third-Party Data: A consumer's broader Web browsing and buying history can now be accessed in session to provide you with more context on their likes and habits. Data management platforms (DMPs) and other data aggregators are accelerating this offering and, just as importantly, the availability of this type of data. This is invaluable in the context of new visitors who you know nothing about historically. 3) Real-Time Behavior: Let's not forget what our customers are telling us with each click. We get enamored with our predictive modeling to the point that we do not see the tell-tale signs as they are happening. Take the time to stop, look, and react. Your analytic tools, personalization tools, and other software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms can help you trigger alternate site experiences based on every click you see.

13 things to consider when implementing a CRM plan | Econsultancy - 0 views

  • These are few of the benefits of implementing a good quality CRM All of your clients’ information is stored in one place, it’s easy to update and share with the whole team. Updates by colleagues should be saved immediately. Every member of your team will be able to see the exact point when your business last communicated with a client, and what the nature of that communication was. CRMs can give you instant metrics on various aspects of your business automatically.  Reports can be generated. These can also be used to forecast and plan for the future. You will be able to see the complete history of your company’s interaction with a client. Calendars and diaries can be integrated, relating important events or tasks with the relevant client.  Suitable times can be suggested to contact customers and set reminders.
  • Finding one system that will fit your needs in one package may not be possible, so be aware that you may need to customise it to fit into your company. There are infinite possibilities here so don’t get too carried away as costs will rise accordingly.
  • Ensure that the CRM works on mobile devices and can be accessed remotely. Employees aren’t necessarily sat at their desks when it needs to be used or updated. Real-time updates are necessary for ensuring that clients aren’t contacted twice with the exact same follow up.

  • Will it work for Outlook, Gmail or whichever email provider your company uses? 
  • Does you CRM have full social media integration? It’s vital that any customers or clients interacting with you on social channels can be included in your CRM updates. You will find this happens increasingly as your public facing channels become more popular. For more detailed information download our best practice guide CRM in the social age.  
  • Do you have a fully CRM trained analytics team that can study and understand the data and reports the system will generate? It’s probably wise to implement a cleansing plan for your existing data before the new system is implemented. Sifting through contacts to remove any duplicated or defunct leads.
  • Having an extra piece of software in the company, especially one as integral as this, means there’s a lot more to manage and possibly to go wrong. Make sure you have the technical support in place to ensure its smooth running.
