using analytics & customer data to build great customer experiences
DESCRIPTION
From the CMSWire and Adobe webinar on May 2nd, 2012. Learn: Why faster feedback loops win — from Amazon's transparency, to Target's stealthy predictive marketing Why smarter visual experiences make brands like Path, Pinterest and Instagram so addicting How to identify the skills and disciplines you're missing, and move towards integrated, mature teams and tools Based partly on data from the Digital Marketing 2.0 Study - a collaborative research effort between the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR), Human 1.0 and DataXu. The study incorporated an online survey conducted in October 2011-January 2012, as well as opt-in interviews of survey takers. The 300 survey respondents included those in the management, marketing, digital, IT, and social media functions of their respective organizations.

“Half my advertising
doesn't work ... I just don't know
which half!”
John Wanamaker (1838-1922)
“Advertising exists only to sell
something. It should be measurable and justify the results that it produced.”
Claude Hopkins (1866-1932)
"Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business
enterprise has two--and only two--basic
functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and
innovation produce results; all the rest are
costs.”
Peter Drucker (1909-2005) 3
Digital Marketing 2.0• Data presented comes from The Digital Marketing 2.0
Study - a collaborative research effort between the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR), Human 1.0 and DataXu.
• The study incorporates an online survey conducted in October 2011-January 2012, as well as opt-in interviews of survey takers.
• The 300 survey respondents included those in the management, marketing, digital, IT, and social media functions of their respective organizations.

78% of recently surveyed marketers
report struggling to make good use of their available analytics and customer data.

Bad news for businesses
• Don’t have the right skills (individually or in combination)• Don’t have the right teams• Don’t have the right tools• Don’t have the right data (or it’s fractured into pieces)• Marketing, design, user experience and analytics are
rolled up into Customer eXperience Management (CXM) and mastery of each discipline (or all of it) is not going to happen overnight
8
The real challenge is in manipulating huge amounts of data
in real-time
To make decisions that may affect thenext prospect/customer in a
different way than the last person

And yet…
10
30% lack the software/technology
to perform analytics ondigital marketing data
11
Why? Analytics, like most administrative
functions... suck.
They are often the last interfaces built in commercial solutions, let alone “homegrown” systems
12
55%of respondents
say
their organization “struggles to analyze”the digital marketing data that is generated
13
Due to poor tools, fragmented systems,
skill shortages
14
Results = Bad news for customers
• Businesses aren’t hearing your complaints (or praise)• They are bombarding you with messages you don’t want
(because analytics don’t exist, are out of date, or measuring the wrong data)
• Digital experience is marginal on “the normal web” and poor to non-existent on the mobile web – the biggest computing movement of our lives (the UX side of customer experience)
• Bottom line: We CAN and SHOULD do better for our customers, and our own businesses

Sadly, 70% ofmarketers say
They don’t have or don’t know ifthey have a 360 degree view of their customers
23
It’s not just postcards and keycodes anymore…
24
Only 28%have the
information to confidently
tell their leadership
what delivers the highest marketing ROI
25
What skills and disciplines are
missing?
26
Only 25% say that analysis of
marketing data from IT
permits real-time business decisions
27
IT doesn’t typically focus on real-time,
and aren’t marketers
Batch mode and siloed apps are the norm
28
On the flip side
29
62% rely on their marketing team
(CMOs, VPs, Digital Teams, etc.)
to make technology suggestions
30
But Classic marketers are focused on design, branding, messaging & demand creation
While depth of technology skills and understanding complex IT systems, are not strong suits
31
And 58% believe they lack the analytical
skills
and technology to perform analytics on marketing data
32
Because “quants” haven’t been sexy in
business…(outside of financial services)
Until now...

From the UX side of Customer Experience

Smarter visual experiences?

Addictive Interfaces• John Medina’s “Brain Rules”• 12 Rules• We should care about:
• #4 Attention: we don’t pay attention to boring things
• #9 Sensory integration: stimulate more of the senses
• #10 Vision: trumps all other senses
• #12 Exploration: we are powerful and natural explorers
36
Speed Matters for Instagram
• Knowing how users use the app, they can anticipate the next action, and work behind the scenes

“It’s like digital crack for 25-44 year old
women...”
Not uncommon for people to spend 2 hours at a time on pinterest - THAT is seriously sticky content
41
Why should you care?
42
83% of senior brand marketers state that “Customer
experience is among the most critical determinants of brand strength and business growth.”

Recommendations
To move forward
44
Where are your gaps? Where are you strong?
• People?• Skills?• Applications?• Systems?• Analytics?• Quants?• Digital Marketers?• Marketing-Savvy IT?• User eXperience?• Print?• Digital?• Social?• Mobile?
• What are the questions you can’t answer?
• Source of customers• Best customers• Most loyal customers• Most painful customers• Most likely progression as a
customer• Customer Lifetime Value• Predicted next actions• Best “intervention” times• Most effective channel• Best marketing spend in real-
time
45
Because if you can’t get traction and
results now
46
You’ll miss the benefits respondents stated as EPIC WINs
Increased Measurability and AccountabilityIncreased Customer Engagement
Lower Cost of Customer AcquisitionBetter Customer Insights
47
Which would be a massive #FAIL
It will take work - but THAT is doable - and you better get started48
