Initiating customers to take action by identifying critical moments. How using these moments with automated personalisation at scale can drive higher conversion.
With competition increasing, catching your customer’s attention is becoming more and more difficult. It’s vital to be relevant in your communication with content that is personalised for that specific customer also ensuring the timing of it being executed is correct.
Call-centres and marketing automation are two options that companies are choosing to communicate with their customer segments. However, our experience when discussing challenges around customer experience through the customer lifecycle with companies has narrowed down one common denominator. There are moments in the customer lifecycle that these two channels aren’t optimised for, but where a great experience will make a huge difference on the bottom line.
Standard moments
Standard moments are those that tend to require very little personalisation for instance, sending a generic welcome email to confirm a new subscription or sign up. While sending the same generic notification to many customers at once makes it easy to scale thanks to marketing automation, it can be challenging in the long-run to establish a personalised relationship with your customer.
Personal Moments
Personal moments are those that require one-to-one conversations with your customers so you can address their specific needs, wants or challenges. These moments must have a customised, person-to-person approach whether it being drawing up a new contract/offer or negotiating. Although it is personalised as seen with telemarketing, it can be extremely challenging to scale to the amount desired as it is very costly.
This is where precision customer activation can step in and help.
Critical moments
There’s another, critical class of moments that brands haven’t carefully looked at, that neither of these solutions are optimised for. Critical moments are those that many of your customers experience, but that are best managed with a more personalised approach. Some of these include promoting offers, up-selling, renewing contracts, encouraging first-time spending and scheduling meetings.
Precision customer activation uses data to generate and send the optimal blend of voice, text and mobile messaging at scale. While this doesn’t need to replace your current marketing activities, it should be complementary to helping companies achieve higher conversion.
This is where precision customer activation comes in. It is the scalable, data-driven way to inform, activate, and steer each of your customers in the moments that make or break experiences.
