Challenges with Acquisition

Three Pillars of Successful Acquisition


Addressing challenges requires three pillars of online acquisition: Coordination, Multi-channel and Personalization

Coordination

Multi-channel

Personalization

Roadblocks to the Three Pillars


Building upon the Three Pillars requires us to understand the underlying gaps in the marketing approach and platforms

1. Coordination: Lack of a unified messaging strategy 2. Multi-channel: 2 Multi channel: Lack of technical integration across messaging platforms 3. 3 Personalization: Lack of a common view of the customer

Unified Messaging Strategy


Delivering a consistent experience across channels requires a unified messaging strategy that provides consistency
Engaging customers across the entire buying cycle requires multiple channels to align with expectations Challenges
Channel platforms have siloed messageseach creating a different experience l l tf Ch Channel platforms d not do t coordinate the timing of messages

Integrating Multiple Channels


Best-of-breed tools alone do not solve the multi-channel challenge: Platforms must act on a common customer context c
Getting channel platforms to see the same customer information requires significant work Challenges
Channel platforms see customer details differently Channel platforms have different integration mechanisms Integrating channel platforms can be difficult and error prone

Common View of the Customer


Consistent personalization across multiple channels requires that each channel has the same customer view
Delivering personalized messages across channels to customers requires a common understanding of the customer Challenges
Customer informationboth behavioural and profileis stored in siloed systems t d thi d t I t Integrated or third-party analytics platforms, along with the CRM platform, are typically p y disparate systems
