Today, it’s the customer who owns their relationships with brands, not the other way around.   This should come as no surprise — with technology rapidly advancing and seemingly endless new channels emerging, the end result has been that consumers now have more choice than ever when it comes to when, where, and how they interact with the brands they love.   This abundance of choice comes hand-in-hand with a dramatic increase in customer expectation. In simple terms, the customer’s patience for subpar or irrelevant experiences is wearing thin.   Savvy marketers understand that every interaction, every touchpoint in the customer journey greatly influences the way those customers ultimately think and feel about their brand. Thus, the key to building the long-lasting relationships that result in more purchases, better retention, and increased customer lifetime value comes down to having a strong customer engagement strategy.   In this definitive guide to customer engagement, we’ll cover everything you need to create content and experiences that engage your customers, reel them into your brand, and keep them coming back. What is customer engagement? In today’s crowded digital landscape, where consumers are constantly on the receiving end of endless marketing messages, businesses can no longer rely on traditional marketing methods to get their message across.   This is where the concept of “customer engagement” comes in, serving as a compass for companies looking to navigate the complex world of customer relationships.

In this post, we’ll explore the exact tactics top brands use to maintain fan loyalty, boost engagement, and drive sales. By the time you’re done reading, you’ll have actionable strategies you can implement to see real results. Ready to make a change? Let’s dive in. 1. Welcome Series First impressions matter. A well-crafted welcome series introduces new subscribers to your brand, sets expectations, and starts building a relationship. For sports and entertainment brands, this series can highlight past events, provide links to upcoming ones, and even offer a discount on their next ticket purchase. This automated sequence ensures that every new fan feels welcomed and valued from the start. Key tips: Timing is key: Send the first welcome email immediately after signup to capitalize on the fan's initial interest.

A great CPG marketing strategy is tailored — tailored for your product, for the channels you’re using to engage, and especially for your consumers. However, I realize it can be tough to create tailored consumer engagement when there isn’t that DTC purchase. As a Principal Solutions Consultant for SAP Emarsys, I’ve worked with some amazing CPG brands to uncover their use cases and find ways to better understand their consumers.   That’s why I was excited about the recent panel at the Omnichannel & AI Masterclass, More Than Commerce: How CPG Brands are Building Direct-to-Consumer Engagement. This panel, filled with experts from top CPG brands, dove into exactly the key topics I discuss with marketing leaders: creating value exchanges, personalizing consumer experiences, and building that consumer relationship over time.   The session held some great strategies that I think are worth highlighting, so read on to learn more. Building Authentic Consumer Relationships with Your CPG Marketing Strategy One noticeable theme during the CPG panel session was the idea of putting the consumer at the heart of your marketing. The moderator, Don Brett, helped pull that idea together:  “All of us, in some permutation one way or another, have said the customer, the consumer is the heart of it all. So finding ways, capabilities, and systems to enable us and your brand to stay very close to he or she will be critically important in order to position yourself for the best in class and future. ” Don Brett, Host, The CPG View Direct... --- ### Google Drops Cookieless Commitments: What It Means for Marketers? > Though Google no longer plan to abolish third-party cookies from Chrome, first-party data remains "the lifeblood of successful marketing." - Published: 2024-07-31 - Modified: 2025-02-21 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/google-drops-cookieless-commitments-what-it-means-for-marketers/ - Categories: General, Thought Leadership - Tags: cookieless tracking, first-party data - Translation Priorities: Optional After four years of ups and downs, Google has decided to abandon its efforts to abolish third-party cookies in its Chrome web browser. In this post, I’ll be asking what that means for us at SAP Emarsys, for our customers, and for the industry as a whole. It’s been a long road getting here, but after four years of ups and downs, Google has finally decided to abandon its efforts to abolish third-party cookies in its Chrome web browser. In this post, I’ll be asking what that means for us at SAP Emarsys, for our customers, and for the industry as a whole. Our Advice to Marketers For several years now, we’ve discussed a number of viable alternatives to cookies to target customers and personalize content. Going back as far as 2020, our advice to marketers has been simple and clear: Prioritize your collection and use of owned, first-party data. Build server-to-server integrations to keep total control over data you share. Focus on permission-based marketing to allow greater control and consumer privacy. Today, that advice doesn’t change. Yes, the pressure is off from Google. Yes, there is no longer a hard deadline looming over the marketing industry. But those facts don’t change the incredible value that moving from third-party to first-party data can bring to your marketing campaigns. Privacy Remains Priority Regardless of Google’s decision, privacy remains essential to customers. In fact, our 2024 research shows that one in three consumers (37%) view maintaining control over their personal privacy as a top priority. Another third (32%) will stop buying from a brand they were previously loyal to if it fails to treat their data responsibly. While Google may have moved away from the total abolition of cookies, it still refuses to recommend them as a reliable, privacy-first data source.

Year after year, the functionality and sophistication of mobile technology increases. With more customers using mobile devices and channels than ever before, it’s never been more important for marketers to evaluate the strength of their mobile offering and take steps to improve it. In this article, we’re going to cover all things mobile optimization, from fundamental definitions to actionable advice you can use to improve the browsing experience for your on-the-go users.   What is Mobile Optimization? Mobile optimization is the process of ensuring that visitors accessing a website from mobile devices have an experience optimized for mobile use. This process is usually broken down into four key elements:  1. Responsive design: Focused on building your website so it adjusts dynamically, based on the screen size and orientation of the user's device. 2. Fast load times: Because nobody wants to stare at a blank page, least of all mobile users who are on the go.   3. Touch-friendly navigation: Designed to make sure navigating the website is quick and easy. This can involve making sure buttons and links are easily tappable and spaced appropriately. 4. Readable content: Focused on making sure the content on your site is easily readable without pinching to zoom.   When mobile optimization is done correctly, it'll yield results from increased Google search rankings to better conversions.   Why Is Mobile Optimization So Important?   Today’s marketers are faced with the challenge of optimizing content across multiple channels, and mobile is one of the most important because of the huge part... --- ### How to Build Loyalty and Trust with Brand Transparency > Discover the significance of brand transparency in fostering trust and loyalty.

Learn why transparency matters and how it can benefit your business. There’s been a long-overdue sea change in marketing: Customers are now in control of the relationships with brands, not the other way around. Their standards for brand transparency are high and their tolerance for lackluster experiences is low. Dissatisfied customers quickly move on to other brands. If you want lifelong, loyal customers, you must meet their expectations.   And while lasting relationships with today’s customers are contingent on your brand’s ability to deliver highly relevant, contextual, personalized experiences, there’s another critical factor that cannot be overlooked: trust. If customers can’t trust your brand, you can’t have their business.   Earning a customer’s trust — and in turn, their loyalty — starts with being transparent. So if your goal is to increase customer loyalty, brand transparency is absolutely essential. What is Brand Transparency? Brand transparency is all about being open and honest when it comes to your products, your pricing, your values, and how you do business overall. It gives customers a view into what your company is all about. Google recently cited brand transparency as a critical competitive differentiator. "Over 90% of consumers say transparency by a brand is important to their purchase decisions. " (Forbes) Transparency is conveyed through your openness, your communication, your company’s degree of accessibility (and how available its people are), and even your willingness to acknowledge and admit mistakes.   Businesses aren’t always perfect, and not everything goes to plan. So whether you abruptly change prices, remove or change a popular service, accidently deliver a faulty product, or send... --- ### 3 Innovative Ways to Leverage Gamification in Your Digital Marketing (with Odicci) > Grab attention, drive engagement and secure sales across your digital channels with gamification.

This technique leverages the natural human psychological predisposition for gaming to influence consumer behavior.   Here are some key aspects of how gamification is used in marketing: Engagement: By adding mechanics like points, badges, leaderboards, challenges and rewards, gamification boosts engagement by making marketing experiences more fun.   Behavioral motivation: By setting up systems of rewards and achievements, gamification gives your customers an engaging nudge towards the actions you want them to take, such as visiting the store, trying out a new product line, or leaving a review.   Customer loyalty: Rewards and achievements can foster customer loyalty – the lifeblood of any thriving business.

It's not just about being present across key channels. It's about being smart about where and how you show up, and this is the core principle of omnichannel marketing.

In the last five years, “customer acquisition costs have increased nearly 60%,” and today’s merchants, on average, now “lose $29 for every new customer acquired. ” This statistic from Business Wire paints a picture of the stark reality marketers are faced with in 2024. Acquiring customers costs brands more than ever before, and those customers have never been as discerning and demanding of personalized experiences as they have today.   With an increasingly complex marketing landscape, and sky-high customer expectations, how can you drive the results your business demands?   The answer lies in retention and loyalty. In this blog post, we dive deep into the retention and loyalty landscape, laying out the trends and strategies you need to know to keep your customers coming back in 2024. What is Customer Retention? Customer retention refers to the strategies and actions a business takes to maintain and increase the number of its existing customers.   This involves ensuring customer satisfaction, fostering loyalty, and creating long-term relationships, so that customers continue to purchase from the business rather than switching to competitors.   Effective customer retention results in repeat sales and increased customer lifetime value, but it goes beyond this. True customer retention is about empowering your customers to be ambassadors to your brand and driving positive word-of-mouth referrals, which are crucial for a business's long-term success and profitability. 7 emerging trends shaping customer retention strategies From leveraging cutting-edge technologies to embracing ethical practices, these trends are a roadmap for businesses looking to foster deeper customer loyalty and... --- ### SAP Emarsys Emerges as a Leader: An Analysis of our Q4 2023 G2 Ratings  > SAP Emarsys G2 Ratings continue to demonstrate the high level of customer satisfaction in key areas important to marketers. - Published: 2024-01-10 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/emarsys-emerges-as-a-leader-an-analysis-of-our-q4-2023-g2-ratings/ - Categories: Behind the Tech, SAP Emarsys Applied - Translation Priorities: Optional Topping off a successful 2023, we are gratified that Emarsys has once again been recognized as a distinguished leader in the Q4 G2 ratings.

On top of that, the explosion of new channels during the past few years requires marketing teams to constantly evolve their strategies and incorporate new touchpoints into their marketing mixes.   Of the many newer channels increasing in popularity, one in particular stands apart in terms of untapped potential and opportunity: mobile wallet.   Mobile wallet usage has been steadily increasing in recent years, having now reached and exceeded $55,679 billion in global market value — and that value will continue to grow. But the use case for mobile wallets now extends beyond payment alone. Customers today are finding that mobile wallets are an easy and convenient way to store loyalty cards, organize vouchers, and redeem coupons — particularly in physical retail stores. Brands, in turn, find that mobile wallets offer a new way to reach a wide audience of mobile users, without needing an app.   SAP Emarsys recently expanded their suite of mobile capabilities with the launch of Mobile Wallet, which enables marketers to engage mobile customers anywhere with 1:1 experiences and unlocks a host of new use cases to enhance their omnichannel marketing strategies.

Grab your copy of the full-length whitepaper breaking down all six pillars here. In today’s day and age, meeting customers where they are means almost everything. Many retailers believe that a channel-focused strategy will allow them to tout themselves as “omnichannel” or as a multichannel retailer. However, they are highly mistaken in this thinking. Making the transition to a customer-centric strategy is one that just might save your business with the uncertain times to come.   Why Your Business Needs to Switch to a Customer-Centric Strategy In this post, we’ll explain the five main reasons to switch to a customer-centric strategy, rather than a channel-focused one.   Customers See a Singular Picture No matter how many channels in your marketing arsenal, ... the customer is not going to applaud or credit you for having them. The customer will view it all as just one holistic experience to spur them to purchase your product or service.   So, if you focus on social media as your only marketing channel, even done well, you might be losing out on others who are not fond of social media (even within your target audience segment).    On the other hand, if someone who views your ads on social media hears their mother saying she also saw an advertisement for the same product on television, they will undoubtedly be impressed as they will see how widely known your brand is. That is why it is important... --- ### Modernizing Customer Engagement Like a Jedi Master > Learn how to prepare for the future of customer engagement, challenges related to it, and how retailers are going to manage the intersection between customer service, experience, and acquisition. - Published: 2022-05-14 - Modified: 2022-05-14 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/modernizing-customer-engagement-jedi-master/ - Categories: General - Tags: artificial intelligence marketing, customer engagement - Translation Priorities: Optional This is a recap blog post for the webinar streamed live by CommerceNext on May 4, 2022, which is also known as Star Wars Day.

Here are a few key takeaways we learned from the webinar. More to Optimize than ‘Add to Cart’ Yes, the goal of creating a transaction is still the intent, but the way people discover, begin their journey, and pass through the gates of conversion is entirely different and even more complex than ever. Growth and LTV in digital retailing are at the intersection of customer experience, customer acquisition, and customer service. The need to access all digital strategies to serve the unique shopping behavior of today’s modern consumer is vital... . --- ### Customer Loyalty vs Brand Loyalty: What’s the Difference? > Discover the difference between customer loyalty and brand loyalty in marketing. Learn how they differ and why they are important for businesses. - Published: 2022-04-27 - Modified: 2023-04-27 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/customer-loyalty-brand-loyalty/ - Categories: Innovative Perspectives - Tags: brand loyalty, customer loyalty - Translation Priorities: Optional Customer Loyalty vs Brand Loyalty: What’s the Difference?   With rising customer acquisition costs, growing competition and the death of the 3rd-party cookie, making the most of the customers you have is more important to e-commerce and DTC brands than ever before.   The key to invaluable repeat business is loyalty. However, there’s a difference between customer and brand loyalty — and knowing it could be the difference between scaling your store and struggling to keep up. In this article, we dive into the differences between customer and brand loyalty, and present actionable advice on how you can start building both.   What Is Customer Loyalty?   Customer loyalty describes a consumer’s commitment to your brand, often stemming from a positive experience that keeps them buying the same product from your business over and over. These customers will naturally recommend your products to their friends and family and are imperative to your brand’s success. However, since your customers are only engaging with your brand based solely on the benefits of a single product, they don’t have any tangible connection to your brand.   As a result, they’re easily influenced by competing brands who are willing to offer similar products at a lower RRP, meaning the market landscape can quickly turn to a race to the lowest price. It’s for this reason that some brands focused purely on customer loyalty end up seeing lower profit margins.   What Is Brand Loyalty?   Brand loyalty is built on stronger foundations than customer loyalty. It represents the end-to-end experience, reputation,... --- ### How to Use Data to Drive Cross-Channel Personalization > Cross-channel personalization allows marketers to deliver a seamless customer experience via any and every avenue.

As knowledge becomes more accessible, companies' efficacy diminishes. With so much noise competing for their attention, customers no longer respond to mass marketing to discover items and services.   Retail companies must now enhance their brand voice and give value that consumers cannot get from self-service.   Marketers: it’s time to start thinking about omnichannel relevancy and how the four pillars of relevance may help you maximize your brand strategy. What is a Cross-Channel Marketing Strategy? Cross-channel marketing refers to using many marketing channels to deliver a seamless customer experience for your target audience.   The message should be sent from one channel to the next in a logical progression. Through individualized people-based marketing, marketers can develop in-depth profiles of their consumers while also increasing customer loyalty by connecting with them at several contact points. Marketers must be aware of the platforms their consumers are using and at what times they are doing so. By applying this data to their campaign strategies, marketers can reach their customers where they are.   The only way to give your customers a more detailed and personalized experience is to be present across key channels. Cross-channel personalization allows you to make more meaningful moments at every step of the customer's interaction with your brand. The Growing Need for Omnichannel Marketing In the B2C ecosystem, cross-channel marketing technology serves as the execution engine... --- ### How to Implement Incentive Strategies Across the Customer Lifecycle > Discounts and incentives can be one of the most powerful tools in the arsenal of email marketing teams. Learn more! - Published: 2022-03-22 - Modified: 2023-10-21 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/incentives-customer-lifecycle/ - Categories: SAP Emarsys Applied - Tags: customer lifecycle marketing, incentive recommendations - Translation Priorities: Optional This article is part of the Performance Series. You can watch the other webinars from Q1 on the webinars page, here. Discounts are one of the most powerful tools in the arsenal of an email marketer. They can pull a customer back from the brink of being inactive, or jump start someone who just signed up into making that all-important first purchase.   But if used too bluntly or too frequently, discounts can dilute a brand or product, and thus lose their effectiveness. This is why it’s vital to have a strategy when using discounts or any other type of incentive so that they’re always tailored to specific audiences within the customer lifecycle. That way the audience can actually become more engaged overall, instead of solely being engaged when a discount is involved. Related: Reduce Indiscriminate Discounts, Drive Repeat Purchases, and Increase Customer Lifetime Value with Loyalty Asking the Right Questions Incentives provide the best value if they lead to an increase in customer lifetime value (CLTV). You can always ask pointed questions about current campaigns to see whether you’ve built incentive programs with that goal in mind, including: If you give someone their biggest discount in a Welcome program right after opting in, are you rewarding customer engagement or just promoting sign up? Will a contact going through this program be just as rewarded for a one-and-done purchase as they would if they were an active buyer?   Likewise, other types of incentives could promote brand loyalty that translates to a... --- ### Why AI Will Create (Not Take) Roles on Your Marketing Team > AI can automate tasks your marketing team shouldn’t be doing in the first place.

Marketers have to adapt sooner than later because AI systems will become more integral to the role as time ticks on. While some marketers succumb to the stories of fear surrounding the technology, others embrace it. It's time to learn to partner with AI and let it help (not hurt) our organizations.   AI empowers marketing teams to execute on intelligent personalization, which requires advanced segmentation based on behavior and purchase history, as well as fully unified data sets. It also helps to deliver personalized content in real time, at the exact moment it will make the most impact on the customer.   With so much that AI does, and can do, there’s one thing we want to make clear right now: AI won’t take roles on your marketing team... in fact, it will create them. How AI Adds Value to Marketing Teams Imagine trying to do intelligent, real-time personalization with the limited manpower you have at your disposal.

Each consumer who embarks on the shopping journey wants to impress their loved ones with the effort and thought that goes into their holiday gifts and events.   It is often a stressful time of year for consumers because they all want everything to be just perfect. Yet, it’s all too common for brands to forget about what these consumers need in order to make their shopping experiences perfect. So, what do consumers want this holiday season? Together with IMRG, we surveyed consumers to find out. This report brings together data and insights to ensure holiday success for you, your customers, and your business. The Research Eight questions were asked to 2,000 UK respondents in order to gauge consumer sentiment ahead of the most important time of the year. We asked customers if they were excited for the period ahead and what concerns they had about the holiday season. After two years of unprecedented change in the world, we were left with one simple question... What exactly is on everyone’s Christmas wish list this year?

COVID-19 impacted everything for people all over the world, not the least of which were spending habits and budgets. As such, many consumers began to change what they expected from the businesses they frequent and the purchases they make, particularly during the holidays. Consumers also had to change their approach to shopping and their concerns regarding their purchases and spending. This change can make the approaching holiday season a nerve-racking time for anyone on the selling end of the marketing exchange. So, what do marketers need to know about consumer expectations for the 2021 holiday season? We’ve divided the answer to that question into two parts: the ways in which expectations and concerns have changed for the upcoming holidays, and the crucial “411” for marketers to sufficiently adapt to these changes and have the most successful holiday season possible. The Recent Expectations and Concerns of Consumers When trying to predict what customers want from year to year, business owners must consider recent trends and economic factors. But the easiest way to learn what consumers want is, of course, to simply ask them! With that in mind, we surveyed consumers to ask them about their fears and expectations, and we hope the data will be of some benefit to you this holiday season.

Customers have already trusted you enough to buy from you, so use that trust to uncover additional needs which will ultimately increase the sale and benefit your wallet and their experience. People buy for their needs, not yours. Cross selling and upselling are key strategies to bring in more revenue from customers, but how do you know if and when to implement them? How do you increase revenue effectively using these strategies? Let’s explore. The Difference Between Cross Selling and Upselling In general upsells aim to get buyers to spend more in a single transaction by presenting a more appealing, albeit more expensive, package or product. Cross-selling means conveniently offering related or helpful products to address other needs, tasks or wants that likely accompany a shopper’s initial purchase or cart.

It’s time to prioritize the entire lifecycle and break away from the acquisition marketing myth. Acquiring new customers is more costly than retaining existing customers.

This post will show you three actionable ways to improve your lifecycle marketing in 2021. You’ll also learn how to reverse old business strategies with new tools and tech, and why many retailers rush instead of patiently retaining. The Acquisition Marketing Myth Marketers are under enormous pressure to deliver results, drive ROI, and produce content. Driving demand for products and services — tasked to the marketing department — stems from a long-held assumption that more marketing means more new sales which equals more business.

And the pressure was placed on retail brands to evolve, and for marketers to deliver. The retail evolution continues now, well into 2021. Retail marketers are putting into practice what was learned from 2020, and adapting to new challenges that 2021 presents, so that they can continue to satisfy customers and drive results for the business.   In a recent webinar, Alex Timlin, SVP Verticals at Emarsys, shared some of the important actions brands must take to succeed in 2021.   Here are a few key takeaways from the session. Be Willing to Pivot During 2020, brands had to pivot to survive. Sometimes, that is easier said than done. But successful brands made these three critical pivots: #1. For better customer engagement, go beyond offers and discounts A hefty discount or flashy sale can get a customer’s attention. But will it really lead to a long-lasting relationship with a customer? Not likely.   Focus on ways to forge connections with customers that don’t require big banner sales events of 50% off coupons.

The #1 goal of retailers and brand marketers, now, should be to continue delivering truly remarkable, 100% customer-led interactions that drive business growth despite cultural trends, data regulations, or government mandates. All three are spurring foundational shifts that are shaking the bedrock of what outdated marketing strategies have been built on. This June, we’re bringing together retail leaders and experts to share tools, information, and strategies needed to succeed in this new, customer-centric climate. This post discusses why such a revival of retail is upon us. A Shifting Retail Tide While the in-store shopping experience shifted dramatically in 2020 — with mandated masks, contactless payment, click-and-collect options, limits on in-store shoppers, and social distancing — those who weren’t acclimating to the rise of the digital economy suffered. The Impact of the Pandemic: By the Numbers The landscape of commerce shifted after a devastating economic blow to everyone due to the pandemic. 50 million U.

And they understand that a successful holiday season — from a business and marketing perspective — is contingent on their ability to provide highly satisfying and relevant experiences to customers. Get this right, and increased customer growth, loyalty, and revenue will follow.   However, no marketer should take for granted that each year’s holiday will be just like the last. We saw this during the 2020 holiday season where marketers had to quickly adapt to the retail and e-commerce changes caused by the pandemic, resulting in the first ever digital-first Black Friday.   Valentine’s Day is soon approaching, and serves as a great example of a holiday shopping event where contextual, relevant customer experiences are particularly critical. But what will Valentine’s Day look like this year? How will the customer’s approach to Valentine’s Day shopping change — if at all? And what can retail and e-commerce brands expect, not just for this seasonal event, but for the year to follow? New global research on customer shopping trends and habits — conducted by Emarsys — gives us an idea of what marketers can anticipate this year.

D. — in their prescient marketing book The One to One Future — predicted that “the future of marketing would focus on individual customers versus mass messaging” (Forbes). At the time, the idea must’ve seemed radical. After all, how could a business (i. e. , a large, national retailer) get to know their customers as individuals and provide them unique, tailor-made experiences? Even if they could, how could they do that at scale, so that the business could continue to grow?   Fast forward to 2021. Not only is this type of marketing possible (yes, even at scale), it’s become a customer expectation. Customers want to be treated as individuals, which means your business should revolve around them.   This year, customers must be the TOP priority. In order to drive growth and revenue, put the customer at the front and center of everything you do. When It Comes to Customers, “Obsession” Is a Good Thing Being customer-focused is a good start. But being customer-obsessed should be the ultimate goal. According to Forrester, a customer-obsessed business will go beyond having a general awareness of who their target customer is, and instead, develop a deep understanding of their customer’s needs, desires, and motivations. This deeper understanding is then used to create and deliver the types of experiences customers demand, while also informing business decisions. But where does this understanding come from? Your customer data, for one.

Whereas CX commonly revolves around direct purchases made by the customer from the brand, CPG experience is one step removed from that interaction simply because of the nature of CPG. This means that in order to provide the same level of customer experience that shoppers have come to expect, CPG marketers must find ways to close the gap and create direct consumer experiences Unless you’re a hermit who lives in... --- ### 3 Examples of Sports & Entertainment Brands Crushing Omnichannel Fan Engagement > Hear 3 stories of sports and entertainment businesses creating consistent omnichannel experiences that drive profitable growth. - Published: 2024-08-15 - Modified: 2024-08-15 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/omnichannel-fan-engagement-examples-sports-entertainment/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Hear 3 stories of sports and entertainment businesses creating consistent omnichannel experiences that drive profitable growth.

In this article, we’re sharing three stories of sports and entertainment businesses rising to the challenge of consistent cross-channel engagement, delivering compelling experiences that drive profitable revenue. Let’s dive in.   1. Gibson: Building Direct Connections with Music Fans Founded in 1894, Gibson has been shaping the face of the electronic music industry since its very inception.

Challenges: Before partnering with SAP Emarsys, Gibson Brands mostly relied on partner sellers to drive revenue for the business, like Guitar Center, Sweetwater, or Long & McQuade. However, they were looking for ways to expand their direct to consumer capabilities. This meant setting up retail channels and engagement tactics from the ground up while working with retail partners to help support their B2B2C strategy.    Solution: Gibson partnered with SAP Emarsys to develop a robust omnichannel strategy that would allow them to engage directly with their fans and reduce reliance on third-party sellers.

The pressures of succeeding in the organization as a marketing leader have also mounted. We’re often fighting an uphill battle when it comes to proving our worth as a marketing organization.   But marketing doesn’t have to be like this.   With all of the tools and data available to us, it’s time for marketers to make a change. To leave behind our old way of doing things — of looking at and reporting on the same metrics over and over again — and start showing our organizations that we should be considered one of the most strategic assets in the business.   How can we do this? Marketers need to shift from focusing only on the channel-specific, operational KPIs we’ve come to know and plaster on every board report and instead emphasize strategic KPIs that actually impact our business. As the leaders in omnichannel marketing, we know how to unite channel strategy with data-driven insights to unlock a more strategic organization. In this article, we’ll discuss what benchmarketing means, how businesses can use it to their advantage, and the different tools that can help us make it a reality.

Meanwhile, consumer products brands have felt the pressure to keep up with retail’s pace for personalization, but they faced unique hurdles. Because the consumer products business model traditionally doesn’t involve direct purchases, they had less data and less opportunity to create those personalized experiences.   Thus emerged a whole new trend: some consumer product brands began looking for ways to break the mold and sell direct-to-consumer (DTC).   Read on for the story of one such enterprising brand, Tekmovil, as they boldly set forth to open lines of DTC business and directly engage customers with tailored, relevant messages.   About Tekmovil Tekmovil is a highly innovative mobile technology distribution and services enterprise committed to taking the best mobile technology to new frontiers.

What Is B2C Marketing? B2C marketing refers to the approach businesses take to directly sell products and services to consumers. This method involves utilizing targeted digital campaigns, personalized communication, and active social media engagement, with a focus on addressing personal needs and interests to effectively drive sales. The Difference Between B2C vs. B2B In simple terms, B2C companies sell directly to consumers. Think retail, consumer tech, and the hospitality industry. B2B companies on the other hand sell to other businesses. This would include managed services companies, enterprise software, agencies, and consultants.   Some of the most important distinctions when it comes to B2C vs B2B marketing relate to purchasing and sales processes, decision-makers involved, and cost of purchases. While a business will likely conduct extensive research before investing in new software, office space, or a large acquisition with another business, B2C transactions are frequently more impulsive and instantaneous. Consumers generally seek out goods and services based on an immediate need, and make purchases faster, with less research and due diligence than a business would conduct. This grants B2C marketers a much smaller window of opportunity to influence consumer behavior. For these reasons, successful B2C campaigns typically trigger emotional reactions or responses, while B2B campaigns focus on offering immediate value. Understanding these differences and making the appropriate changes to your B2C marketing strategy will improve your outcomes. Businesses that focus on B2C marketing observe trends closely, research their customers’ purchase habits, and closely monitor their competitors’ tactics, as it’s critical to know... --- ### Power to the Marketer 2024 - 6 Sessions You Won’t Want to Miss > Find out which brands, speakers and sessions are not to be missed at this year's Power to the Marketer Omnichannel & AI Masterclass. - Published: 2024-05-15 - Modified: 2024-05-15 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/power-to-the-marketer-2024-6-sessions-you-wont-want-to-miss/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional Discover 6 key sessions from Power to the Marketer 2024 that you'll want to mark in your calendar.

What started as discovery in-store could lead to an online order, or vice versa. But customers also expect to be able to engage with you seamlessly, no matter where they shop.   To guide customers on their path to purchase, marketers need the ability to link customer data together with operational insights. Connecting commerce experiences across the complete spectrum (web, SMS, email, social, ads, etc. ) enables you to create exceptional, engaging customer experiences along every non-linear step. Here are just a few powerful examples of what you can do with connected commerce data to make the customer journey more satisfying and more personalized. Get ready to get inspired!

Learn how you can get your customers back and engaged. Modern consumers are fickle, and building customer loyalty can be difficult because their attention gets pulled in many directions. That should come as no surprise when they’re bombarded by thousands of ads every day.   However, the attention span of many brands isn’t much better. Studies have found that while 44% of companies prioritize acquisition, only 18% focus on retention. Those stats are striking when you consider the fact that current customers are willing to spend up to 67% more than those new to your brand.   So while consumers are being distracted by other brands, brands are being distracted by other consumers. Unless you’re selling butter, it’s time to stop churning so hard and start working on your customer win-back strategy. What Is a Customer Win-Back Strategy? A customer win-back strategy is a marketing program that focuses on re-engaging lapsed customers. As a marketer, your goal is to extend their journey with your brand and increase their overall lifetime value. In the retail world, it may be tempting to think up strategies solely in terms of offering discounts or new products for purchase, but don’t be too hasty. The first step in your strategy might not result in an immediate sale but will yield big returns down the road.    Top 4 Customer Win-Back Strategies to Implement in 2024 Check out these four top tactics for giving your customers the value and personalized attention they deserve: 1.

SAP Emarsys saw a 9% year-over-year increase in customer engagements. At SAP Emarsys, we have two kinds of days: either it’s Black Friday, or it’s a day that we’re getting ready for Black Friday.   During the Black Friday–Cyber Monday weekend, the competition for consumer attention and dollars grows fierce. Each year, we see brands stepping up their games to send data-driven messages across email, mobile, SMS, in-app, and web... and each year, they do it at a more massive scale than ever before. That’s why we’re always putting our know-how into improving our infrastructure, channels, and features so that our clients can reach their customers with timely messages, especially during the peak shopping season.   Read on for insights about the trends in channel usage during the Black Friday-Cyber Monday extravaganza of shopping.

Earning that loyalty, however, is never guaranteed, particularly when an evolving economy continues to drive changes in consumer behavior. So how exactly can marketers earn a customer’s loyalty? Perhaps the best way to answer that is to ask the customer directly.   SAP Emarsys recently conducted research on respondents across the globe to ask them all about loyalty. The findings, presented in our 2023 Customer Loyalty Index report, reveal how current global and economic factors are impacting the way customers demonstrate loyalty, and how marketers can earn the loyalty of their customers throughout the rest of 2023 and beyond. Let’s look at three key findings from the report that can help marketers better understand their customers and increase customer loyalty. 1. Incentives spark loyalty, but won’t sustain it Discounts and incentives are go-to tools in the marketer’s toolbox because they’re powerful motivators for attracting and converting customers. After all, there’s not a consumer on earth who wants to spend more money on a product or service than they have to. In fact, research shows that, this year:  45% of customers agree they will be loyal to retailers due to discounts and incentives compared to 39% in 2022 (source: Customer Loyalty Index 2023).   This increase from the previous year would suggest that customers are more responsive to incentives. Yet, when asked to think... --- ### SAP Emarsys October Release 2023: Empowering Marketers Through Innovation > New innovations in the SAP Emarsys October Release 2023 empower marketers to reach more customers, boost loyalty & accelerate business results. - Published: 2023-10-24 - Modified: 2025-01-24 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/emarsys-october-product-release-2023/ - Categories: General, SAP Emarsys Applied - Tags: omnichannel marketing, product release - Translation Priorities: Optional New innovations in the Emarsys October Release 2023 empower marketers to reach more customers, boost loyalty & accelerate business results.

Get consumer insights and engagement strategies to help you edge out the competition. For retail marketers, what does it take to be truly ready for the holiday shopping season? You need to be prepared to engage and entice shoppers and edge out the competition in Q4. For many businesses, this is a make-or-break time of year.   To succeed, you need data about your customers, such as insights about who they are, where they like to shop, what they’re likely to buy, and much more. But data alone isn’t enough: you need the right tools to be able to connect with them on the right channels with highly targeted, one-to-one messaging. On top of that, you need to give consumers reasons to choose you over the competition. Easy, right? Okay, so, perhaps the peak shopping season can be stressful for retail marketers. Recently, in my role as Client Success Director EMEA for SAP Emarsys, I had the opportunity to join our partner Wunderkind for a webinar about how retail marketers can get an edge on this year’s holiday season.

But competition is fierce as brands clamor for the attention of their customers, and those customers are more discerning than ever. This leaves little room for error when it comes to crafting a holiday plan built on highly satisfying experiences while also delivering growth and revenue for the business.   As you start putting the final touches on your 2023 holiday customer engagement strategy, consider these 6 expert tips from our friends and technology partners: Movable Ink, Mention Me, and Wunderkind.   1. When it comes to promotions, focus on quality over quantity Going into this holiday season, many marketing teams will have to deal with tighter budgets and smaller headcount. This makes the notion of “doing more with less” not just economical, but essential.   But a smaller budget doesn’t necessarily mean smaller impact. Rather than spending money on a wide array of holiday promotions, the most successful brands will be the ones that can maximize the quality and efficacy of a few key promotions. Here’s what our friends at Movable Ink — experts in personalized brand experiences — had to say: “Based on several themes we’re seeing play out ahead of this year’s peak season, we’re encouraging brands to maximize promotion effectiveness and keep customers engaged during longer buying cycles.

Read on for insights, and the changes we see on the horizon. In September 2023, Apple will release iOS 17. Along with the standard improvements and usability updates, they are including an additional privacy feature that has some marketers in a spin: Link Tracking Protection (LTP).  So many brands are asking themselves: what does the iOS17 update mean for marketers? Let's dive in and unpack this new update. What is Link Tracking Protection?   First, let's review what Link Tracking Protection is. Here's how Apple describes it in its press release:  “Some websites add extra information to their URLs in order to track users across other websites. Now this information will be removed from the links users share in Messages and Mail, and the links will still work as expected. This information will also be removed from links in Safari Private Browsing. ”  In practical terms, this means removing some URL tracking parameters from links when using the Safari browser, and also when sharing links using Messages and Apple Mail.    Example:  Before LTP: https://example. com/ad_engagement? click_id=YmVhODI1MmzMNGU&campaign_id=23 After LTP: https://example. com/ad_engagement? campaign_id=23 The result of this will be that response tracking for any messages passing through the Apple ecosystem will be reduced to anonymous numbers, which, at first, might sound like bad news for anyone with an interest in tracking how customers interact with links.  However, this may not be as dire as it seems. Should you be worried? You're probably wondering what the implications of these changes mean for your marketing, and whether or not you should be worried. We think not. Here are a few things to consider:  Emarsys links are... --- ### 5 Reasons Why Customer Engagement is the Key to Brand Loyalty > Discover 5 powerful reasons why customer engagement reigns supreme for driving brand loyalty and accelerating business outcomes. - Published: 2023-08-30 - Modified: 2023-11-15 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/customer-engagement-and-loyalty-5-reasons/ - Categories: Actionable Insights, General - Tags: customer engagement, customer loyalty - Translation Priorities: Optional Retail and e-commerce brands love their loyal customers. And why wouldn’t they? After all, loyal customers return to brands and spend 31% more than new customers, and 46% of loyal customers are likely to keep purchasing from a brand after a negative experience.   Those are huge results if you’re a business where customer purchases are your lifeblood.   But how does a brand foster true lasting loyalty anyway? And why is it that some brands struggle to build an active customer base of loyal shoppers, while others have loyal customers in droves? Simply put: It comes down to your customer engagement strategy.   If you aren’t able to drive the loyalty your brand needs to increase revenue and accelerate business results, the problem could be in your approach to customer engagement. Read on to discover five reasons why customer engagement is the key to brand loyalty. Customer Engagement and Brand Loyalty First, let’s get clear on what we mean when we say “customer engagement” and “brand loyalty. ” Customer engagement is about how a business forms and grows relationships with customers through various interactions over time, and very often, across multiple channels.   Brand loyalty, or commonly referred to as customer loyalty, is the long-term commitment of customers to continually purchase from, and stay loyal to, a specific brand. The difference between customer loyalty vs brand loyalty is slight but nuanced.   Another way to look at it: customer engagement is all about how a brand interacts with its customers, and loyalty comes as a... --- ### 5 Customer Engagement Strategies for Leading E-Commerce Brands > Boost e-commerce success with 5 proven customer engagement strategies for top brands.

Second, as consumer expectations continue to rise, retailers large and small are recognizing the significance of building strong connections with their customer base in order to become the customer’s preferred brand.   As customers seek personalized experiences and meaningful interactions on their channels of choice, the role of customer engagement marketing has expanded far beyond just driving transactions.

Welcome Campaign If you don’t properly welcome a new customer to your brand, you’re in for a rocky road. It’s hard to build long-term relationships if you don’t start off on the right foot. This makes a well-crafted automated welcome campaign an essential marketing tactic.   Use creative content that’s on-brand, and messaging that’s warm and inviting (while still aligned with your brand tone and voice). Consider the widest breadth of channels possible: email, web, and SMS are great for welcome campaigns.   Bonus Tip: Craft this message right, and you can encourage customers to register and give your critical zero-party data (with their permission, of course) that will fuel your personalization efforts and allow you to provide them with a better experience.   2... . --- ### The Power of Data to Drive Loyalty > Collecting the right data will help you engender loyalty in your best customers. Explore the power of data to drive loyalty. - Published: 2023-06-15 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/the-power-of-data-to-drive-loyalty/ - Categories: Actionable Insights, Customer Stories - Translation Priorities: Optional At Total Tools, Australia’s largest professional tool retailer, we had robust information about our clients, but we also had a problem: it was all siloed.   Our martech wasn't able to drive omnichannel experiences across platforms, and it didn’t give us unified views of our customers. We were meeting customers where they were – email, SMS, online search – but the conversations we were having with them weren’t coordinated across channels. We lacked the capacity to show them the products that they were showing interest in across channels. Ultimately, this led to friction in our loyalty program.   We wanted to deliver value in real time. When our customers showed interest in a product, or when they had a need our products could fill, we needed to be there with the right message on the right channel. High on our list of priorities was to deliver more tailored product recommendations based on what we knew about our consumers. Our experience with Emarsys was documented in a case study that lays out the steps we took to achieve better results. Integrating data for better results Enter our partnership with Emarsys. Using the platform, we were able to stitch together all our customer data points into a unified view. With Emarsys’ Integrated Data Layer, we were able to unify, cleanse, remove duplicates, and analyze first-party data from business applications, customer data, and commerce solutions to create a holistic view of each customer. This allowed us to accelerate our 1:1 personalization.

Growing up in Munich myself, I’ve been a supporter since I was a young kid, when I was lucky enough to meet my all-time favorite player who autographed my football. One of the most memorable matches for me was the game of Bayern vs. Girondins Bordeaux in 1996 in the final of the UEFA-cup in the famous Olympia-Stadium, and I will never forget the celebration of the cup win at the Marienplatz in Munich, and neither will many fans across the globe.

Adore Beauty Challenge: Adore Beauty had always been a step ahead of the competition in terms of personalization, and they’d invested in marketing automation.

They leave the store happy with their purchase and later receive a follow-up email with recommendations for complementary products.   This seamless, integrated experience is the hallmark of the omnichannel customer journey — and understanding it is the key to building long-lasting customer loyalty and driving profitable growth. In this article, we’ll walk through the omnichannel customer journey, giving you a better understanding of the paths the modern shopper takes to conversion.   What is the customer journey, and why do we need to understand it? At its core, the customer journey is the total sum of experiences that customers go through when engaging with your brand. It begins the moment they first become aware of your product or service, continues through the point of purchase and beyond into post-purchase support, and then loops back again for repeat purchases. So why is understanding this journey important for marketers?   Simply put, it’s all about perspective. By stepping into your customer’s shoes and anticipating their wants and needs as they move through their individual journeys, you can identify gaps and deliver exceptional experiences every step of the way. This empathetic approach typically leads to higher customer satisfaction, increased loyalty, and better business outcomes. By mapping the customer journey, marketers... --- ### Brand Advocacy: Your Secret Weapon for Sustainable Growth & Customer Retention > In troubled economic times, it’s critical for marketers to grow their business organically. Brand advocacy helps expand your loyal customer base while keeping current customers happy. - Published: 2023-04-25 - Modified: 2024-02-15 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/brand-advocacy/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional In troubled economic times, it’s critical for marketers to grow their business organically. Brand advocacy helps expand your loyal customer base while keeping current customers happy. When do you start building loyalty? Some might say it starts after the second purchase, or when a customer joins a loyalty program. However, I want to challenge you to think differently: the potential for loyalty starts from the first moment your customer hears about your brand. Better still, there’s a way for you to find customers who, right from their first experience with your brand, are more likely to become high-quality customers. By “high quality,” I mean they’re more likely to engage with you repeatedly and have a higher customer lifetime value (LTV).   The way you find these high-quality customers is by identifying the best customers that are already in your customer base, and then nurturing and activating them so they actively introduce new customers through brand advocacy.   I’m Kat Wray, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Mention Me, the brand advocacy intelligence platform empowering businesses to turn brand fans into unstoppable growth. Read on to learn more about what brand advocacy means, the results that marketers can achieve with it, and even some practical tips to help you foster advocacy with your existing customers.   Before you dive in, though, I want to invite you to also join us June 8th for our online Masterclass session as a part of the Emarsys Power to the Marketer Festival.

Jerome McCarthy first proposed the modern form of the 4 Ps in his 1960 textbook, Basic Marketing: A Managerial Approach and they are widely taught as a frame of reference for marketers to build and execute successful campaigns. However, the evolution of the digital age has caused the standard methods and practices of nearly every industry to change and grow to work within this new paradigm, and marketing is certainly no exception.   The more powerful marketing automation tools and platforms get at integrating data and channels and enriching them with AI and predictive intelligence, the more effective marketers become at delivering campaigns that drive tangible business outcomes. These tools and platforms give marketers an entirely new framework within which to execute the core tenets of marketing theories like the 4 Ps. This blog bridges the gap between theory and practice by both explaining the 4 Ps of marketing, and sharing tried-and-tested tactics that elevate the 4 Ps from lofty theory into pragmatic, ROI-driving omnichannel strategies. The 4 Ps of Marketing The 4 Ps of marketing refer to product, price, place, and promotion.

And with marketing budgets shrinking and consumer wallets tightening, overspending to acquire new customers isn’t a luxury that many marketers have right now. Yes, driving revenue remains critical, but so is ROI and efficiency.   That’s why today’s successful marketers are putting their primary focus on maximizing the value of the customers they already have. For them, building sustained customer relationships and improving retention are the goal, with the understanding that increased revenue is the payoff.   So how do they achieve better relationships, retention, and ultimately, revenue? The answer lies in personalized omnichannel marketing.   Let’s take a look at how two real-life brands lead with an omnichannel marketing strategy to deliver the experiences that keep their existing customers engaged and spending. Building Relationships with Happy Socks Renowned fashion retailer Happy Socks has relationships with customers all over the world. But when you’re a brand with such a large global reach looking to sustain those relationships, you have to be able to engage customers with satisfying 1:1 experiences across a wide range of countries and languages.   And you need to be able to do that at scale. Fortunately, Happy Socks has a strong omnichannel marketing strategy that prioritizes data-driven insights to easily power personalization at any scale, even across multiple languages and geographies. The result is deeper, more meaningful relationships with delighted footwear enthusiasts — or perhaps more fitting, “happy socks fans” — all around the world Using Emarsys, the brand engages customers using personalized automations across multiple... --- ### Personalized Omnichannel Marketing & Where to Begin > Read more to discover what personalized omnichannel marketing is and how to get started with creating a strategy for your business. - Published: 2023-03-24 - Modified: 2023-10-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/personalized-omnichannel-marketing-where-to-begin/ - Categories: How to - Tags: omnichannel marketing, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional From in-store to in-app to online, regardless of where your customers shop with your brand, they expect a connected, personalized experience.   In the past, true omnichannel marketing required significant investment from brands. But the growth of martech has significantly lowered the barriers to entry.   So, with customer expectations rising, and more and more tools available in the market to help you meet those expectations, now is the time to prioritize personalized, omnichannel marketing.   In this article, we’ll discuss all things 1:1 omnichannel personalization, giving you actionable advice to start integrating omnichannel personalization into your broader marketing strategy.   What is omnichannel personalization?   Omnichannel personalization is about providing customers with uniquely tailored shopping experiences, based on their personal preferences and individual history, consistently and seamlessly across all touchpoints a brand offers.   Customers are no longer single-channel shoppers, and they expect consistent 1:1 experiences, no matter which channel they choose for engaging a brand. Whereas some brands can only provide personalized customer experiences on a channel-by-channel basis, the brands who are most successful with omnichannel marketing unify their data to ensure continuous and consistent personalized interactions for individual customers as they move across channels.   Why is omnichannel personalization important?   Without personalization, the online experiences you create for customers will feel less like cultivated experiences and more like batch-and-blast, generic campaigns.   Each day, 333 billion emails are sent, and your customers are on the receiving end of that sensory overload.   One thing is clear. From email to Instagram, if you’re creating generic, batch-and-blast content,... --- ### SAP Emarsys Spring Release 2023: Updates to Help You Save Time, Improve CX, and Drive Loyalty > Discover what’s new with mobile, SMS, personalization, APIs, and much more.

And with good reason. This AI-powered chatbot, which was developed by OpenAI and launched in November of last year, uses an incredibly powerful artificial intelligence language model that understands natural language and can generate human-like responses to text-based inputs.   What does this mean in a practical sense? Well, for some, ChatGPT is simply a fun and highly interactive technological novelty. Give it any quirky input or request, and you’ll be amazed at the kind of response you get. (For example, ask ChatGPT to make up song lyrics in the style of Bruce Springsteen or Taylor Swift, and the results are uncanny. ) Meanwhile, others are more focused on the business applications of this kind of technology, from content creation to information gathering to customer service and more.   Then, there are marketers, many of whom are wondering: Will ChatGPT put me out of a job? The answer is a resounding “no. ” ChatGPT will not replace the work you do as a marketer. In fact, ChatGPT will actually make you better at what you do. I feel confident in saying this, considering Emarsys already has a great deal of expertise in understanding AI and knowing its full potential. Powerful AI technology is built into our omnichannel customer engagement platform, and we see firsthand on a daily basis how AI empowers marketers and helps them deliver greater results.   For the naysayers who have been viewing this technology as a threat to... --- ### Retail Trends: Retention and Loyalty Are Driving Marketing Strategies in 2023 > Brands are buckling down in a tough economy and focusing on retaining their existing customers.

Learn their omnichannel marketing strategies. When your retail marketing goals are tied to revenue, loyalty and retention are the name of the game. The unwavering truth of marketing is that it’s more cost effective to retain existing customers than to acquire new ones. Your path to marketing revenue depends heavily on building long-term relationships with your customers. But what drives lasting loyalty and retention? Exceptional, highly personalized experiences at the right time and on the right channel.   Read on to learn more about why retention and loyalty are the cornerstones of modern marketing strategies — as well as real tactics you can use and insights from leading brands about how they’re putting these strategies into practice. Think Big Picture: Customer Lifecycle Goes beyond the Classic Funnel As a marketer, you are most certainly aware of the classic funnel approach to marketing, where you guide people from the top of the funnel (awareness of your brand and product), through the middle (increasing knowledge), to the bottom (familiarity), where ultimately you have the chance to drive a purchase.   However, that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the bigger picture of the customer lifecycle. From there you have a host of other other stages your customer can go through, including post-purchase, second purchase, loyal customer, brand advocate, loyalty program member, churning customer, and won-back customer. Considering the entire customer lifecycle requires a true obsession with the customer experience from end to end. Recent research from Forrester, commissioned by SAP Emarsys, revealed that 56% of... --- ### Retail Trends: Applying Your Data for a Competitive Advantage - Published: 2023-03-02 - Modified: 2023-03-02 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/retail-trends-applying-your-data-for-a-competitive-advantage/ - Categories: Actionable Insights, General - Tags: customer data, customer loyalty, marketing strategy, retail, retail e-commerce - Translation Priorities: Optional What’s a brand to do in the face of a changing retail marketing landscape? Our report, 5 Trends Shaping the Future of Retail Strategy & Execution, offers some insights.  Retail executives and marketing teams are facing evolving challenges that require new thinking. With access to third-party data changing, supply chain issues still affecting the bottom line, a growing number of channels to keep up with, and inflation shifting customer behaviors, marketers have to do more with less. And, let’s face it, competition is growing... and it’s everywhere. The democratizing force of social media and the internet means that brands big and small are competing for the same attention. What’s a brand to do? Our report, 5 Trends Shaping the Future of Retail Strategy & Execution, offers some insights.   The Power of Data We all know it’s taking more marketing budget than ever to acquire new customers. Marketers spend more advertising dollars to get the same attention that came easier even just a few short years ago, $29 today, vs. $9 just a decade ago. But with the loss of reach comes an opportunity: the power of zero-party and first-party data. Consumers are more likely than ever to share their information with brands they like and trust. Unlike third-party data, the data your customers freely share with you is yours alone, and it can help you craft experiences that will keep them coming back for more, driving retention and loyalty. Data is the true competitive advantage. By understanding your highest value customers, you’ll gain the power to serve them experiences that keep them delighted and engaged, which is a marketing strategy that will pay off. Prioritizing retention efforts and increasing... --- ### Cookies Are Going Away - What's a Marketer To Do? - Published: 2023-02-28 - Modified: 2023-02-28 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/cookies-are-going-away-whats-a-marketer-to-do/ - Categories: Actionable Insights, General - Tags: email marketing, marketing strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional As a marketer, you’ve likely heard about the seismic shift coming in the world of data tracking. In July, 2022, Google made a big splash by announcing that they’d be phasing out cookies by the summer of 2023. For marketers who rely on third-party cookies, this understandably led to a lot of concern and consternation. But what if this presents an important opportunity?  As a marketer, you’ve likely heard about the seismic shift coming in the world of data tracking. In July, 2022, Google made a big splash by announcing that they’d be phasing out cookies by the summer of 2023. For marketers who rely on third-party cookies, this understandably led to a lot of concern and consternation. But what if this presents an important opportunity?   First, the what: First-party cookies are created by the websites you visit to store things relating to improving and simplifying your use of those websites. These include preferences, login detail, browsing history, and shopping baskets. Third-party cookies are those that can be created and seen by multiple websites, not just the site you’re on. They are often used for tracking and advertising purposes.    Google plans to phase out support for third-party cookies in its Chrome browser, as part of an industry-wide shift towards more privacy-friendly practices. This falls in line with regulatory changes and a growing consumer demand for greater transparency and control over their personal data. While this is not the first privacy-related change to impact web advertising, Google’s proposed changes are particularly significant given its wide reach and dominance in the market.    What Comes after Cookies?   It’s a myth to think that if third-party cookies go away, marketers will have to operate in the dark. In fact, the shift away from third-party cookies presents a real opportunity for brands to develop a closer, more meaningful relationship with customers and prospects. Consumers are more eager than... --- ### 4 Ways to Create a Winning Multi-Channel Marketing Strategy > Learn to build a successful multichannel marketing strategy that increases brand visibility, trust, and customer loyalty. - Published: 2023-02-26 - Modified: 2023-12-08 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/winning-multi-channel-marketing-strategy/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: marketing strategy, multi-channel - Translation Priorities: Optional Creating and implementing a multichannel marketing strategy can increase the likelihood of your content being seen, by reaching customers where they pay the most attention and show the most engagement, whether through email, web, social, or ads.

Creating a working multi-channel marketing strategy requires some creativity, but is by no means impossible. Here are 4 tips to help marketers create a winning multi-channel marketing strategy. What Is Multi-Channel Marketing and Why Is It Important? Multi-channel marketing is a strategy in which businesses use multiple channels to reach their target audience rather than relying on a single channel.   In a world where your target audience jumps from email to app to web in a matter of clicks, being present across a variety of channels is an effective way to stay visible, build trust, and increase customer loyalty. By adopting a multi-channel approach, your business can engage audiences with content on their preferred channels, helping to increase your brand reach, build more relationships, and drive conversions.   Benefits of Multi-channel Strategies For brands willing to invest in developing a presence across key marketing channels, multi-channel marketing has a broad range of valuable benefits to offer.  ... --- ### 10 Martech Capabilities That Maximize Your ROI > A lot rides on your martech, including ROI, your brand, and marketing revenue.

Let’s explore what data-driven advertising means, look at some innovative ways you can start using data to drive your online advertising strategy, how you can save money along the way, improve customer relationships, and increase conversions. How Advertising Is Changing For all intents and purposes, classic advertising in the way we think of it really began in the 1920s with those old-time cigarette and car ads. Edward Bernays, considered the founder of modern “Madison Avenue” advertising, and David Ogilvy, the “Godfather of Advertising” are generally renowned as the pioneers that really brought the age of ads to fruition. I don’t know about you, but I love those classic advertisements. I’m an Ogilvy-schooled, “Advertising 101” fanboy — and going through college, all I’d ever been taught about advertising was how to create catchy slogans, write cunning copy, and do campaign planning. Media, measurement, and mixing in data didn’t really cross my mind. These are central pillars today. “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is... --- ### G2 2023 Best Software Awards: SAP Emarsys Named One of the Best Marketing and Commerce Products > Discover why SAP Emarsys was named one of the Best Marketing Products and Best Commerce Products in the G2 2023 Best Software Awards. - Published: 2023-02-17 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/emarsys-best-marketing-best-commerce-products-g2-software-awards/ - Categories: General, SAP Emarsys Applied - Tags: marketing technology, retail e-commerce - Translation Priorities: Optional “We always innovate. ” “We never settle. ” “We embrace tomorrow. ”  Those are just a few of the core values that guide us at Emarsys.

Always Look for Audience Permission With privacy policies clamping down around the globe and GDPR looming over EU marketers, sending unsolicited emails in 2023 is a big no-no. As a marketer, your top priority should always be to get permission from your audience before sending any marketing emails.   Make sure that your subscribers have given you their consent to receive your emails, otherwise, you risk ending up in the dreaded spam folder, or worse — on the receiving end of a hefty penalty.   While it's okay to send transactional emails such as order confirmations, e-receipts, or password reminders without permission, you should always exercise caution when reaching out to subscribers who haven't shown a keen interest in your company. Tips to help you get audience permissions right first-time include: Don't pre-tick the newsletter subscription box Keep things simple with the data points you ask subscribers for Never force visitors to subscribe to your mailing list in order to complete a purchase... --- ### G2 Winter 2022 Report: How SAP Emarsys Leads in User Adoption, Customer Satisfaction, and More - Published: 2023-01-27 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/g2-winter-2022-report-how-emarsys-leads-in-user-adoption-customer-satisfaction-and-more/ - Categories: General, SAP Emarsys Applied - Translation Priorities: Optional After a strong 2022, we are happy to announce that we ended the year with our best G2 report yet.

To help break down multichannel marketing and provide more clarity around the term and the industry, we’ve outlined below the perceived benefits, challenges, common questions, resources, and more. What Is Multichannel Marketing? Multichannel marketing can be defined in a number of ways, but at the most basic level it breaks down as follows: Multichannel marketing is the implementation of a single strategy across multiple channels or platforms, thus maximizing opportunities to interact with prospective customers. A channel might be email, print, a retail location, a website, a promotional event, a mobile app, SMS messaging, or word of mouth. Why Is Multichannel Marketing Important? The bottom line is, customers are no longer on just one channel. We use our phones while typing on our laptops and watching TV. We ask our friends (both on social media in person) for product recommendations, and before we even think about contacting a company, we do as much research as possible.

Like most waistlines on America’s Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday has continued spreading out, bit by bit.

Because what we buy matters. During the Day 3 mainstage keynote of the festival in London, Eva spoke on the topic of Decision Making for a Digital World.

The first day of the event focused on leading the way to customer engagement, but the second day was all about omnichannel marketing, finding the right balance between CX and revenue, and empowering marketers on their path to true 1:1 omnichannel engagement.   Here’s a quick recap of what we learned during Day Two of our Power to the Marketer festival. Learning the Key to Customer Obsession with Forrester During Day One, we heard how customer obsession is helping brands take once-in-a-while shoppers and turn them into lifelong loyalists. But on Day Two, we had a chance to go deeper into customer obsession. Rusty Warner, Forrester’s VP Principal Analyst, led us through a presentation highlighting the importance of cross-channel marketing and unlocking customer obsession.   Here are a few top takeaways from the session: Customer obsession is a business-critical operating model. As a marketer, your priority should be to understand your customer, develop a strategy based on that understanding, and deliver experiences everyday that live up to those strategies. When the customer is at the center of your leadership, strategy, and operations, you’re better positioned to drive the kind of omnichannel customer engagement that delivers tangible growth and revenue. This makes it a must, not a “nice-to-have” position. Personalization should not be conflated with experiences. Personalization as a pure marketing tactic without regard for the customer’s needs and preferences results in... --- ### Consumers Will Increase Spending on Black Friday > Learn tips to create a solid marketing plan that maximizes your Black Friday revenue, from automation to smart segmentation. - Published: 2022-10-05 - Modified: 2025-01-23 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/black-friday-making-the-most-of-the-big-day-duplicate/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: automation, black friday, customer engagement, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional Learn tips to create a solid marketing plan that maximizes your Black Friday revenue, from automation to smart segmentation. A new study of 3,006 shoppers by Emarsys revealed insight into consumers’ shopping intent that may feel surprising in light of recent economic news, but which is great for marketers: one in five (21%) U. S. consumers will do most of their holiday shopping on Black Friday — with over a third (35%) increasing their spend from 2021.   According to the study, the average American consumer is expected to spend $441 over the Black Friday weekend. That’s a 16% increase from $381 in 2021. Less than a quarter of consumers (24%) plan to decrease their spending this Black Friday. . Value is on consumers’ minds Increased spending may come as a surprise given global economic concerns. However, Emarsys’ research indicates that consumers are spending more discerningly to maximize the value they get for their spending.   Seeking the biggest discounts (41%), taking advantage of free returns (37%) and grabbing deals early (28%) are top-of-mind for consumers this Black Friday.   For those who intend to scale back, it’s unsurprising that inflation (61%), the global cost-of-living crisis (56%), and fear of recession (36%) were cited as the most common reasons. This more discerning approach to shopping will impact the channels that consumers will use to make purchases. While online purchases (62%) lead the way, 47% of consumers also plan to shop in-store. COVID-19 has become mostly a thing of the past for many, as only 11% will avoid brick-and-mortar stores due to health concerns.

Android has an update coming soon, and it’s one to pay attention to. With more than half of smartphone users using the Android operating system worldwide (with regional variations), it’s sure to impact a significant number of your audience base.   We don’t have a hard-and-fast date on when to expect this Android update, although most experts agree that it’s likely to be rolled out this fall. So now’s the time to start thinking about the questions it poses so your brand can be ready to minimize any pain the change may bring and take advantage of all the opportunities it opens up. In this post, we explore the change and share how it will affect your customers so you can make the transition seamlessly. What’s Changing With Android 13 The update to Android 13 will bring one significant change to Android users, and it will affect any marketer whose brand uses an app to engage with customers. Historically, one of the differences between iOS and Android is that Apple iOS users were prompted to allow notifications, whereas Android users were automatically opted in. If your app requires permissions (like data access or the ability to send notifications), iOS makes users aware of that prior to downloading an app. This means that when iOS users get your notification, they’re primed to expect it.   Android users who have been automatically opted in to notifications do not expect to be asked whether they want to get notifications. But that’s changing.

As a leader of a business focused on empowering marketers to deliver true 1:1 omnichannel experiences at scale, has seen the breakneck speed of evolution prevalent in her industry. She’s developed a deep empathy and understanding for marketers from her own early career as a marketing practitioner.   Drawing from new consumer research undertaken by SAP Emarsys, she spoke recently on the Be Remarkable Podcast about how the customer experience is being reshaped, and what that means for marketers going forward. The Pace of Change Has Accelerated During the last three years, the pace of change has accelerated at an unprecedented pace. The pressures of the pandemic, and the resulting supply chain concerns have spurred this change, and the rise of e-commerce has emboldened customers to pursue their perfect shopping experience.   Preferred ways to shop have shifted, with some marketers calling the last few years “dog years” in terms of dramatic change and speed of learning – one year feels like seven. While 54% of consumers still prefer in-store shopping, nearly half are opting for other channels, from apps and phones, to laptops. Channel Proliferation Continues Not only do consumers want to shop in their preferred way, they want to do it on the channels where they spend their time.

Did you know brand loyalty and customer loyalty aren’t the same? The difference is subtle, but it’s there.   Brand loyalty is about consumers having other choices but continually choosing your brand above others, and it can also be about affinity with your brand’s image. Customer loyalty is about the customer’s ongoing satisfaction with your company or brand that drives them to keep bringing you their repeat business. Emarsys and IMRG recently hosted a roundtable discussion focused on understanding the differences between customer loyalty and brand loyalty. The gathered retailers engaged in an open talk about their challenges and strategies around boosting both types of loyalty. Following are key highlights, tips, and strategies from the conversation. Building Brand Loyalty by Building Confidence over Time Today’s consumers have an impressive array of resources at their disposal to help them make choices about the goods and services they purchase. As a retail marketer, what you need to do is connect with your customers well before they reach the buying stage and let them get to know your brand. One of the attendees had a recommendation: “Make sure that your content is where your consumers are, not necessarily on your site, because that's where you would like them to be ultimately. The type of content you have should pique their interests enough to make them want to know more and then bring them onto your site, which is where you have that engagement piece, which is your... --- ### Steering Clear of Slow Implementation Quicksand > Is your marketing team hurting from a slow implementation with your new vendor?

We love to geek out on various technologies and seek out innovative ways to use this creativity and engage customers with personalized omnichannel experiences. But most of us are pragmatic enough to understand that there is a point to having all this wonderful, exciting martech, which is acquiring more customers, keeping them around longer, and increasing revenue for your business.   As they say: “you gotta spend money to make money,” right?   Sure. But the problem is... these days, marketing budgets are tight and patience is at an all-time low.   If you FINALLY manage to talk your C-suite into investing in new martech, the expectation is: this better be worth it. So if you’re stuck having to wait months or even years until you see results and value from that new technology, it’s nerve-racking, and downright frustrating. Don’t let slow implementation stand between you and achieving the growth and revenue results that you’ve promised to deliver for your business. Whether you’re currently in an implementation stage with a new marketing cloud, or if you’re looking to make a switch and want to steer clear of tedious implementations, read on to learn more. Implementation — necessary, but shouldn’t be “evil” We’ve all heard the expression “a necessary evil. ” Basically, it’s another way of referring to something that is potentially unpleasant, but must be done.   Implementation is sort of like that — it would be great if you didn’t have to go... --- ### AI for Marketing: A Deep Dive > Learn how marketers can use the power of artificial intelligence to drive real-time personalization, increase ROI, and make better decisions. - Published: 2022-07-22 - Modified: 2022-07-27 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/ai-for-marketing-a-deep-dive/ - Categories: Behind the Tech, Thought Leadership - Tags: artificial intelligence marketing, customer engagement - Translation Priorities: Optional Intelligent technology solutions are being quickly adopted by many businesses to promote operational efficiency and enhance the customer experience. These platforms allow marketers to get more in-depth, detailed information about their target audiences. The information obtained in this way can subsequently be utilized to increase conversions while also lightening the workload of marketing teams. What is AI Marketing Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being used in marketing to make automated decisions based on data gathering, data analysis, and observations of audience or economic trends that may have an impact on marketing activities. When speed is crucial in marketing campaigns, AI is frequently used. To ensure optimum efficiency, AI technologies learn how to effectively engage with other systems and humans using data and customer profiles. The machines then create personalized messages at the appropriate moment without assistance from marketers. AI is employed by many modern marketers to support marketing teams or to carry out more tactical jobs that don't require as much human finesse. AI marketing includes: data analysisnatural language processingmedia buyingautomated decision makingcontent generationreal-time personalization Marketing AI Components It is obvious that artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in assisting marketers in building relationships with consumers.

To start, let’s establish a solid understanding of what we mean by omnichannel.   Omnichannel marketing provides the customer with an integrated shopping experience across multiple channels (think email, web, social, mobile and in-store). The goal here is to create a seamless experience for the customer, whether they are shopping online from a desktop or mobile device, or in a brick-and-mortar store. Omnichannel marketing caters to the new wave of personalized experience-seeking consumers. “Omnichannel marketing” is no longer just a buzzword. It has surpassed the “trend” phase and stationed itself as a key strategy necessary to implement in this new era of technology. At its core, omnichannel marketing is a multi-channel sales approach that provides the customer with an integrated overall shopping experience. The customer can transition from shopping online on a desktop or mobile device, to the phone, or a brick-and-mortar store, and the experience will be seamless.   This is all made possible by one thing — data. With the smart use of customer data and AI, brands unlock the ability to create campaigns that engage customers with personalized content in real-time. Combined with machine learning, some of the top omnichannel marketing automation platforms can even use historical data to predict future performance before campaigns are launched.   The benefits of omnichannel retailing In a world... --- ### The Magic Bullet to Scaling Personalization Is AI Marketing > Discover how AI marketing enables customer-centric personalization so you can engage customers and drive business outcomes. - Published: 2022-06-16 - Modified: 2023-10-25 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/the-magic-bullet-to-scaling-personalization-is-ai-marketing/ - Categories: Actionable Insights, SAP Emarsys Applied - Tags: artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence marketing, customer engagement, marketing strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional Discover how AI marketing enables customer-centric personalization so you can engage customers and drive business outcomes. This article is the fifth in our 6 Pillars Powering Cross-Channel Personalization series — a six-part series on uniting all marketing channels for truly connected customer journeys. The idea behind customer-centric personalization is that by tailoring your marketing experiences to individual customers, you can more effectively engage them and win their business.   Truly personalized experiences go beyond simply addressing customers by name — these days, including a name is nothing more than a common parlor trick. To stand out, top brands are targeting customers with 1:1 messages that speak directly to their interests. Here are just a few possible examples: Post-purchase campaigns that address not only the product the customer purchased but the way they prefer to use it. First-time buyers receiving entirely different messages than defecting customers Relevant messages delivered at times (time of day, day of the week, etc. ) when customers are more likely to engage Ensuring different segments of customers discover uniquely tempting offers in their inboxes, with products recommended based on their past purchases These sophisticated personalization use cases require ample amounts of rich data. Understanding and processing all that data can be a massive undertaking, even for a huge marketing department with plenty of resources. Yet small marketing teams are accomplishing this level of tailored marketing at scale, so each customer sees more of what interests them and less of what doesn’t.   But how is it done? Read on to discover the challenges inherent in customer-centric personalization and the secret to making it work efficiently... --- ### The Break-Up Series: Overcoming the Perils of Platform Overload > Too many platforms in your martech stack?

Clearly, today’s customers have acquired a taste for tailored, relevant experiences, and they expect your brand to deliver them.   Leading marketers understand this expectation. In fact, 85% of retail marketers say personalization is important to driving both increased revenue and better customer experiences. So, to satisfy their customers and grow their business, they seek out martech solutions that will help them build, deliver, and scale the 1:1 omnichannel experiences customers demand.   However, because omnichannel customer engagement is sophisticated, some marketers assume it requires an elaborate and complex tech stack. That’s why they don’t question when the marketing cloud they’ve partnered with tells them that, to reach their customer engagement goals, they’ll need to purchase multiple SKUs and deal with multiple systems.   As a result, those marketers end up saddled with numerous platforms and systems — all of which take time, energy, and perhaps some kind of IT degree to master. The marketing team gets stressed, marketing performance becomes inconsistent or too disjointed to accurately track, and the C-suite is left wondering why so much of the marketing budget is being spent on technology.   Sound familiar? If so, you’re looking at a classic case of platform overload.   In this post we’ll dive deep into the all-too-common... --- ### Join Us in Celebration at the Power to the Marketer Festival > You work hard to understand customers, harness your creativity, and use technology effectively.

And 55% of retail brands cite driving foot traffic as a top challenge. This all points to one clear truth: brick-and-mortar businesses can no longer wait for their customers to come to them.   If you want to stand out from your competitors, draw customers, and keep them coming back for more, you need a robust strategy in place that’s going to attract, delight, and retain customers. To stay ahead of the curve, you need to meet them where they’re spending their time and engage them with relevant content and convenient paths to purchase.   The answer to this complex challenge lies in cross-channel retailing. In this article, we’ll cover all things cross-channel retailing, break down its benefits, and give you three examples from leading retailers to help you create a cross-channel marketing strategy for your retail brand. Cross-channel vs. multichannel vs. omnichannel  Let’s start with the definitions. Although multichannel, cross-channel, and omnichannel are similar, they have several key differences. Multichannel retailing definition Multiple channels, but none of them are connected  Multichannel retailing is a term used to describe a brand that markets their products across multiple channels. Brands opt for multichannel marketing because it gives customers the choice over which channel they use to complete their purchase — whether that be in-store at one of their physical locations, or via an online store or app.   However, these channels are not connected, so the customer receives a disjointed, isolated, and generic experience that doesn’t adapt... --- ### Welcome to Shoptalk Europe 2022: Retail’s Boldest Pioneers > Join us and 3,000+ other decision makers from global retailers at Shoptalk Europe, retail’s premier event.

The answer: omnichannel retailing.   By being present wherever your customer engages and delivering the right content to the right person at the right time, omnichannel retailing has helped retail brands grab attention, build engagement, and secure loyal, repeat customers.   But if there’s one constant in the world of B2C marketing, it’s that customer expectations are always rising. And as more brands start to improve their omnichannel marketing strategy, the less unique and impactful your strategy will be.   If you want to stand apart from your competitors and continue to create experiences that keep customers engaged, you need to stay ahead of the curve. So, what does the future of marketing hold for omnichannel retailing, and how can you hedge against incoming changes? Read on to find out.   What is omnichannel retail?   Omnichannel retail is the natural successor to multichannel and cross-channel retail, focused on delivering personalized, relevant experiences, regardless of where customers choose to interact with your brand.   Multichannel retail involves marketing products across multiple channels, but none of these channels are necessarily connected.   Cross-channel retail takes things one step further by connecting multiple marketing channels to give customers more relevant experiences. However, none of these channels are fully integrated. Omnichannel marketing bridges the gaps of multichannel and cross-channel retailing by integrating all of a brand’s online and offline marketing channels. The result? A single view of... --- ### Learn How SAP Emarsys and Movable Ink Take a Customer-Centric Approach to Marketing Campaigns at Think Summit > How can you find the right balance between privacy and personalization?

Emarsys believes that the future of marketing begins with personalization.

Fast forward to 2022 and in the US alone, digital channels account for 21% of total retail sales with that figure expected to hit 24. 5% by 2025.   Today, your customers have a multitude of channels at their fingertips, and they use them for everything from communicating with friends and family to making purchases.   If you want to maximize your sales and increase your chances of attracting, converting and retaining more customers, your brand needs to be present and ready to engage with buyers no matter where they’re spending their time.   We know that creating a cross-channel marketing strategy can be easier said than done, so we’re here to offer some inspiration. In this article, we’re sharing 6 stellar examples of cross-channel tactics that drive the results you need to thrive in a competitive space. First Things First... What is Cross-Channel Marketing? Let’s tackle the basics first.   Every day, your target customers spend their time across multiple platforms and devices, seeking engaging content, answers to questions and solutions to problems. With that comes a number of distractions -- and more than a fair share of competition.   If you want to rise above the noise of competing brands vying for your customers’ attention, engaging with them across a single channel is no longer enough.

They also expect to have that 1:1 experience consistently across any and all channels, wherever they prefer, and at whichever time is most convenient for them.   From the customer’s perspective, this expectation for cross-channel personalization isn’t a negotiation — if your brand can’t deliver on it, the customer will find a brand that can.   Because cross-channel personalization is table stakes to win your customer’s business, you can’t afford to fall short. If you’re partnered with the wrong marketing cloud, one that can’t help you execute true omnichannel marketing consistently across all your channels, you could lose customers, fall short of revenue goals, and have to answer to a not-so-happy C-suite. Let’s look at why some marketing clouds struggle with cross-channel personalization, as well as the tell-tale signs that perhaps it's time to break up with your marketing cloud (and find a trusted partner who can actually help you reach your customer engagement goals).    Why Some Marketing Clouds Struggle with Cross-Channel Personalization We’ve heard the stories. You meet for a demo with a marketing cloud sales rep. They promise you the moon when it comes to customer engagement, yet when it comes time to put it into practice... you fall short.

They say it requires tons of additional technical support and additional resources, which you’re footing the bill on.

His answer was “Be so good they can’t ignore you. ” In this scenario, one can assume Martin meant “they” as in society, or perhaps more specifically, the audience. However, if you ask old-school marketers how to make a brand popular, they’d likely give a similar response: “Be so good the customer can’t ignore you. ”  That sentiment held true in a time when marketing channels could be counted on one hand and were mostly print media. But our current world of marketing and customer engagement is vastly different. You might be the best brand in the world with an unparalleled product offering and message, but if you aren’t on the right channels at the right time, you will be ignored, and your message will get lost amongst the noise of your competitors.   So perhaps a better bit of wisdom for the modern marketer is this: “Be so channel-agnostic that you can always reach the customer. ”  Admittedly this doesn’t roll off the tongue as nicely as Martin’s quote. But the point remains. Today’s leading brand marketers understand that, to drive growth and revenue for their business, you need to meet customers where they’re at, on whichever channel they prefer, with the relevant 1:1 content they want.

This article is the second in our Pillars Powering Cross-Channel Personalization series — a six-part series on uniting all marketing channels for truly connected customer journeys. Sending the right marketing message at the wrong time is a waste of your effort as a marketer, and so is sending the wrong message at the right time. Not only is it a waste of your marketing resources, but it can also be a huge turnoff to the customers you’re trying to engage, making that Unsubscribe button look tempting. For a brand to grow, marketing must hit the target with relevant content delivered in real time. Read on to discover what real-time content marketing currently looks like and where it needs to go if marketers want to drive real revenue for their business. Where Marketers Are Falling Short “Right message at the right time. ” It’s such a common concept that most marketers can recite it in their sleep. And because it’s every marketer’s goal, you’d think that most brands are delivering on it, right?   In reality, few marketers succeed at orchestrating campaigns with real-time content that’s truly engaging. 93% of consumers report receiving marketing communications that are not relevant to them, and 44% of consumers are willing to switch to brands who better personalize marketing communication.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the 7 best practices for mobile-friendly emails that convert more buyers and drive repeat purchases. 7 Best Practices for Mobile-Friendly Email Marketing 1. Keep Your Copy Short and Valuable If you like to write long emails with large images, you may want to consider a change in tact. Google clips emails at 102kb. So, instead of displaying your full email content, Google will truncate it and force your subscribers to manually download the rest. Not only do you risk lowering your email impact, it can also harm your tracking capabilities. Why? Because if you’re including your tracking pixel in the footer of your email, like many marketers do, that’s getting clipped, too.   Your subscribers are short on time, even shorter on attention, so a “less-is-more” approach is 100% the way to go. Focus on keeping your email content short, sweet, and valuable — and be sure it satisfies the all-important question your recipients are sure to ask: “What’s... --- ### 8 Essential Customer Engagement Emails for E-commerce Marketers > Emails help create lasting impressions and foster long-term relationships with your customers.

More than 300 billion emails are sent and received every day, with each one of them vying for someone’s attention in a crowded inbox.   With this level of competition, batch-and-blast sales emails are no longer enough to stand out from your competition and win that all-important subscriber engagement.   You need to create engaging emails with valuable content that your audience wants to read.   However, creating engaging emails that get attention in noisy inboxes can be hit and miss without a framework in place to guide your efforts.   In this article, we’re going to walk you through everything you need to know about customer engagement emails, revealing the 8 email types you need to start creating right now.   First Things First: Why Send Customer Engagement Emails?   Believe it or not, email marketing dates all the way back to 1978. The first mass email was sent by a marketing executive at Digital Equipment Corporation by the name of Gary Theurk. His ‘campaign’ went out to 400 recipients and resulted in roughly $13m worth of sales. Email pre-dates every digital channel by a long way and yet, 40+ years later, it still returns the highest ROI of any digital channels, roughly $42 back for every dollar spent.

Drawing attention to the positive things — our successes — makes us feel good.   There’s a time and a place for some self-congratulation, but real growth is achieved only after you put a light on your weaknesses. As marketers, we need to practice unbiased self-reflection if we want to grow and improve. It’s important to keep an eye on the areas you’ve fallen short of your goals. Should you still be aware of your strengths and successes? Absolutely. But not if it means ignoring your shortcomings.   That’s why today’s most successful email marketers aren’t just interested in celebrating their positive metrics. They’re also interested in their negative metrics.

If you want to maximize your brand awareness, grow your customer base, and stay ahead of your competition, you need to focus on cross-channel marketing.   In this article, we’ll walk you through the 6 key benefits of cross-channel marketing and explain why building brand consistency across multiple marketing channels is the best way to stay ahead in today’s fast-paced market.   The Major Benefits of Cross-Channel Marketing  Cross-channel marketing is a challenge. You’re faced with the task of creating a seamless brand experience across multiple channels and touchpoints that grabs audience attention, builds engagement, and drives conversion.   But doing the work of integrating multiple channels into your marketing strategy is worth it. Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits of an effective cross-channel marketing strategy. 1. Meet Today’s Customers Where They’re At Think old school for a minute. Back when marketing was totally offline, businesses needed to get their messages in front of their ideal customers by first finding them — where they were, where they liked to go, where they consumed their news or most often encountered advertisements. They needed to meet these potential customers where they were already spending their time. And in a sense, modern marketing isn’t any different.   Each and every day, your customers spend their time across multiple channels. And if you’re only meeting them on one or two channels, you’re missing out on a... --- ### Building the Perfect Customer Lifecycle Email That Drives Conversions > Customer lifecycle emails consider the buyer’s journey and send triggered and personalized messages to the right person at exactly the right time.

The same can be said for the way your customers experience your brand. Whether your business is retail, e-commerce, consumer goods, travel, or sports and entertainment, nurturing your customers through their purchasing journey and beyond is accomplished in large part by customer lifecycle marketing.   Lifecycle marketing focuses on communicating with potential and current customers at the various points of their relationships with your brand.   Let’s unpack the customer lifecycle, and how to create the perfect email for every step of your customer's journey.    What is Customer Lifecycle Marketing? Customer lifecycle marketing operates on the premise that the relationship your customers have with your brand is fluid. It changes over time as your customers’ experience your brand in different ways, and as that relationship changes, so should the way you engage .   A buyer who hasn’t engaged for 6 months is going to have a different set of needs and expectations compared to a loyal repeat shopper. That first-time buyer will ideally become a loyal shopper themselves — but there are several steps along the way. Lifecycle marketing focuses on guiding and nudging customers along on that journey. A major component of customer lifecycle marketing is the lifecycle email. Spamming your database with one-size-fits-all promotional offers, regardless of where your customers are in their lifecycle, is likely to do more harm than good. Knowing what content to send to which customers at what time is a complex... --- ### How SAP Emarsys Empowers Email Marketers > Learn how SAP Emarsys empowers email marketers worldwide and why we believe Forrester named us a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Email Marketing Service Providers, Q1 2022 report. - Published: 2022-04-01 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-emarsys-empowers-email-marketers/ - Categories: SAP Emarsys Applied - Tags: email marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional At Emarsys, we’re all about bringing power to the marketer. That’s because we know today’s marketers are under considerable pressure to drive customer growth and revenue with less time, resources, and budget. That’s why we empower them with an omnichannel customer engagement platform that is purpose-built to accelerate business outcomes. Campaign Management As an email marketer, you invest a good portion of your time, energy, and marketing genius into campaigns. This makes sense, considering your marketing campaigns are the most integral part of building customer relationships and then nurturing them into revenue and growth opportunities.   But with everything else on your plate, you simply don’t have the luxury of devoting all your time into campaigns. What’s more, you certainly don’t have time to deal with a platform that makes setting up and executing campaigns overly cumbersome or tedious. Marketing technology should accommodate the marketer using it, and it should not make the marketer bend to its will. One of the ways Emarsys brings power to marketers is by offering a customer engagement platform that’s marketer-centric, intuitive, and easy to use. Pre-built marketing automations and fully customizable tactics in the platform save marketers time planning and executing campaigns, and allows them to move with speed and agility. We believe this is part of the reason why Forrester acknowledged in the report that our “top-notch campaign delivers against its promise to empower email marketers” and mentioned our “authentic focus on making technology work for marketers instead of just enabling marketers to work... --- ### Apple Mail Privacy: First 6 Months After AMPP > In this blog we summarize what we have seen in the data so far after AMPP was introduced. Learn what we’ve seen in click and open rates, too. - Published: 2022-03-29 - Modified: 2024-03-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/apple-mail-privacy/ - Categories: The Science Behind the Tech - Tags: apple, apple privacy, ios - Translation Priorities: Optional In September 2021 Apple introduced Apple Mail Privacy Protection (further referred to as AMPP), a new feature in the native Mail app, helping users to prevent senders from tracking their open behavior. In this blog we summarize what we have seen in the data so far after AMPP was introduced. Furthermore, we shed light on our approach to identify AMPP opens, how email open rates have changed, and what we’ve seen in the click and open rates of contacts using this privacy feature. How we Identify AMPP Opens In general, the event of an email open is tracked by tracking pixels -- a small image that gets downloaded from the servers of the sender at the time when an email is opened. When AMPP is enabled, Mail app users will have their emails pre-fetched by Apple, and this process, tracking pixels are also downloaded. Marketers will only be notified when the pre-load goes under, but this information can’t be used as any indicator of true user behavior. Other than that, Apple also routes emails through proxy servers, which masks the IP address and the type of device the open came from. Traditionally, we have utilized the information available in the user-agent request header to identify the operating system, the device, and the email client used to open the email. However, when an email is opened from an AMPP device, the request header is masked, providing no information about the user’s device. To the best of our knowledge, AMPP users cannot... --- ### SAP Emarsys Spring Release 2022 Webinar Recap > The summary of our SAP Emarsys Spring Release 2022 Webinar — get all the details about our latest platform innovations. - Published: 2022-03-25 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/emarsys-spring-release-2022-webinar-recap/ - Categories: Behind the Tech, SAP Emarsys Applied - Tags: analytics, personalization, product release, web channel - Translation Priorities: Optional The summary of our Emarsys Spring Release 2022 Webinar — get all the details about our latest platform innovations.

Marketers Need the Power to Take Charge 63% of marketers spend a significant amount of time on measurement and reporting (Retail Roadblocks) 60% of companies that prioritize CX see higher profits than competitors (Gartner) As a proven revenue-generating department, marketers today are under pressure to deliver real value that contributes to the business’s bottom line. The result is that marketers need more predictability and visibility than ever before when it comes to understanding customer behaviors and buying patterns. That deeper understanding unlocks the ability to better influence and drive revenue.   Meanwhile, they’re doing all of this with fewer resources, both in terms of budget and team members. “Marketers have taken on more responsibility while their budgets have fallen to their lowest level in recent history. ” (Gartner) In this release, we’re providing new tools and functionality that help marketers take charge in everything from journey mapping to CX initiatives and reporting.  ... --- ### Record Coverage for SAP Emarsys in the G2 Spring 2022 Reports > G2 has announced its annual reports for Spring 2022.

They mean 1:1 relationships and personalized experiences. This article is part of our unPredictions series — no guesswork, no lofty trends, just real commerce marketing priorities to help you drive customer engagement and increase growth and revenue in 2022. Retaining customers might just be the most profitable thing your brand can do. Loyal customers buy more at higher values, and they’re also more willing to tell others about your brand because of their positive experiences. Win after win after win. Yet 70% of CX leaders have a tough time orchestrating loyalty programs that stick, according to Gartner. Furthermore, 77% of loyalty programs with a solely transactional model fail within the first two years. The failures aren’t because of disinterest — people love their loyalty programs. Loyalty programs only fail when they miss the mark with customers.   The flipside is that your loyalty program will succeed when you make personalized experiences the consistent hallmark of your brand throughout the customer lifecycle. Running an Experienced-Based Loyalty Program Running a loyalty program doesn’t automatically translate to sacrificing your profit margins — although for many, that’s what they think of first. Loyalty is much more than that. Loyalty stems from your entire relationship, the way the customer experiences your brand at every touchpoint in their journey with you. Long-term relationships with customers allow you to collect more zero- and first-party data, which you can then use to create more personalized interactions. When you tailor one experience after the other, you set a high standard that your competitors will find hard to... --- ### Power Up Your Email: How Email Marketing Strategy Impacts Deliverability > Learn how email marketing strategy and deliverability are linked, and how personalized email can improve deliverability, conversions, and revenue. - Published: 2022-03-16 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-email-marketing-strategy-impacts-deliverability/ - Categories: Actionable Insights, General - Tags: email marketing, marketing strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional This article is part of our Power Up Your Email series — which shines a spotlight on the email marketing strategies and insights top brands are using to engage more customers, increase conversions, and drive growth and revenue. * * * The right email message could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship with your customer. But if you can’t even get past the digital clutter and get your foot in the door — “foot” being a well-crafted email from your brand and “door” being your customer’s inbox — that relationship will never have a chance. In other words, if you struggle with email deliverability, you’ll struggle with customer engagement. Email deliverability is critical to increasing customer growth and revenue for your business. So, naturally, if your emails aren’t being delivered to customers, it can be frustrating. When you try to examine why they aren’t being delivered, a common assumption might be: the problem must be technical. Yet more often than not, your deliverability issues are not due to technical failure or your platform’s inbox placement rate — it might very well be a strategy issue.   One of the focal points of our Power Up Your Email series is how your content and strategy impact whether or not customers see your emails. Let’s take a look at how deliverability and strategy are so intertwined, and what you can do to ensure your email marketing strategy leads you to better deliverability.   Ditch the Batch-and-Blast Approach Not so long ago, when print... --- ### Putting Emotion into the CEO Role on International Women's Day > "You're being emotional," they say to women. "Good!" says CEO Joanna Milliken. Read how she strives to #BreakTheBias. - Published: 2022-03-08 - Modified: 2022-03-07 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/putting-emotion-into-the-ceo-role-on-international-womens-day/ - Categories: Innovative Perspectives, Thought Leadership - Translation Priorities: Optional "You're being emotional," they say to women. "Good!" says CEO Joanna Milliken. Read how she strives to #BreakTheBias. It’s something too many women hear all too often. “You’re being emotional. ”  But what does that mean? And why are emotions seen as something that hinder a woman’s ability to do her job, rather than enhance it? “Emotional” is a label I used to try and avoid (not very successfully I might add). The word itself has negative connotations, all the more so when used to describe the thoughts, challenges, or decisions of a woman. Men don’t get accused of being emotional. When they act with their hearts they are simply passionate, strong, assertive, or a whole host of positive adjectives. Leading with their emotions gets rebranded; it’s no longer illogical, it’s simply “going with your gut”. All too often, women aren’t granted the same luxury. When emotions are on display, women are suddenly accused of being “bossy” or “difficult. ” In the workplace, “emotional” equates “irrational” and “illogical,” and these negative connotations tied to the very idea of emotion have held women back in their careers for a long time. Even in 2022, by simply showing emotion you can be accused of not being, or even being able to be, rational, strategic, or a strong decision maker — which simply isn’t the case. So now, as the CEO of an international organization, I am actively letting my emotions be shown. Both how I think and how I feel matter, allowing me to make the best decisions possible for my business and my staff.   Auto Magic Becoming a tech CEO was... --- ### Interview with Christine Novak Celebrating Her First 90 Days as Senior Vice President - Published: 2022-03-03 - Modified: 2022-03-04 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/interview-with-christine-novak-on-her-first-90-days-as-svp/ - Categories: General - Tags: leadership - Translation Priorities: Optional SVP Christine Novak stepped into her role 90 days ago. In this interview, discover her insights and ambitions for the company. The leadership in any company sets the stage and expectations not only for employees but for everyone on the outside looking in. Leaders take on the responsibilities that come with their roles but also represent the business and brand.   This is a big part of why we’re proud to have Christine Novak in the role of Senior Vice President. It’s been 90 days since Christine stepped into her position, and we want to shine the spotlight on this outstanding addition to the ranks of Emarsys leadership.   In this interview, hear from Christine in her own words about what led her to become a leader in tech and also her ambitions for the future of the Emarsys customer engagement platform. Experiences in Tech What does Emarsys do that Tivoli, Peregrine, Aprimo, HP, and Salesforce do not?   It’s not about what Emarsys does and the others do not but rather the current Emarsys opportunity for exponential growth as an SAP business. It’s the adage of “right time, right place, right people,” and Emarsys is just that. With the acquisition by SAP, their scale provides so much opportunity for us and our customers.   Why move from Salesforce after 7. 5 years? It was time for me to bring my full breadth of expertise to a leadership role; product management, support, integration SWAT teams, account management, alliances, and product operations. As SVP for North America, I bring perspective and can empathize across the business.

Remember the 4 Ps of Marketing? Of course you do, you’re a marketer! If they aren’t etched into a plaque in your office or tattooed on your arm, surely those four Ps are burned into your memory somewhere.   But there is a fifth “P” of marketing — one that wasn’t taught to budding marketers during their university studies — that today’s modern marketer knows all too well. PRESSURE Whether you’re a brand marketer for retail, e-commerce, consumer goods, travel, sports & entertainment — or any other industry where the name of the game is more customers and more revenue — “pressure” is becoming the most challenging “P” you face. And it’s no wonder you’re under such great pressure. According to Gartner, “marketers have taken on more responsibility while their budgets have fallen to their lowest level in recent history. ” In other words, you must do more with less.   Fortunately, we’re here to help relieve some of that pressure. How? By giving you more power. Our upcoming Emarsys Spring Release 2022 will offer a host of new features and enhancements that give you more power to connect customer experiences that build loyalty and grow your business.

Learn more about omnichannel marketing and why you should make it a priority. This article is part of our unPredictions series — no guesswork, no lofty trends, just real commerce marketing priorities to help you drive customer engagement and increase growth and revenue in 2022. Channels are kind of like rabbits. They just keep multiplying. First, there were physical stores, then mail order catalogs, then email, and then social media and e-commerce marketplaces. Today, new digital channels pop out of the woodwork on a continual basis.   With so many options available, some marketers may be tempted to go to one extreme or the other when it comes to using those channels to connect with customers.   Extreme #1, All eggs in one basket: “We’re going to specialize in a single channel and excel at it! ”  Extreme #2, Spread too thin: “We have to cover as many channels as possible or else lose customers! ” Neither extreme is ideal. In fact, they both do a disservice to customers and make it harder for marketers to achieve success. The real objective is actually this: Meet customers where they want to meet you. You want to make it easy for customers to use their preferred channels (not yours) to connect with your brand. It’s for this reason that we made true 1:1 omnichannel marketing one of the key priorities in our ebook, unPredictions: Commerce Marketing Priorities Powering 2022.

In an era where many marketers wear their countless campaigns and channels as a badge of honor, we’re working to evangelize the vast benefits of data centralization and tech consolidation. I sat down with Joanna Milliken, our new CEO, to get her quick take on the current state of the oversaturated martech space. Enjoy our Q&A. Related: Greetings from New Emarsys CEO, Joanna Milliken Q: Could the exponential explosion of tech/SaaS players lead to a figurative implosion of marketers’ sanity (or ability to vet, choose, manage, and integrate all these different tools)? A: Marketers working in retail have become conditioned to believe they need more stuff, more tools, more pieces for their tech stack. The lack of differentiation and the number of martech products that don’t work as promised definitely don’t help matters. To be blunt, many martech platforms aren’t built for marketers. A good solution needs to drive outcomes, not just deliver content. As of now, most marketers are pretty oblivious to why they use what they use and have no idea what they truly need. They end up stitching together multiple different platforms... resulting in problems, creating data silos and a hampered ability to create great personalized experiences. Q: A centralized platform or dashboard or “source of truth” is the golden bullet. What do you want marketers to know regarding the benefits of using a single platform vs. a plethora of... --- ### Personalization with Context: The Cure-All for Your Email Marketing Ailments > See why personalized 1:1 email is essential for improving email deliverability, driving revenue, and enhancing the customer experience. - Published: 2022-02-10 - Modified: 2023-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/email-personalization-with-context-the-cure-all-for-your-email-marketing-ailments/ - Categories: Actionable Insights, General - Tags: email marketing, omnichannel marketing, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional This article is part of our unPredictions series — no guesswork, no lofty trends, just real commerce marketing priorities to help you drive customer engagement and increase growth and revenue in 2022. ________________ Email is a powerful channel for expanding your reach — the more people that see your brand in their inbox, the better.   However, savvy marketing teams also understand that successful email marketing is NOT about reach and reach alone. Quality is more important than quantity, so a marketing strategy based on batch-and-blast email isn’t the best way to drive customer growth and revenue for your brand.   The truth is, one-size-fits-all email marketing can actually be detrimental to your goals. Sure, you can cast a wide net with a generic sales email sent out to your entire list, but the more generic an email is, the less relevant it becomes. The less relevant the email, the less likely a customer is to open it. This leads to a negative impact on email deliverability, revenue, and the customer’s overall experience with your brand.   Conversely, a more sophisticated email marketing strategy that emphasizes personalization with context will actually help deliverability issues, increase revenue, and improve CX. In essence, it’s a cure-all for common email marketing ailments.   Let’s look at how email personalized with context helps with deliverability, revenue, and CX.   Your Deliverability Problems Might Be Strategy Problems Your delivery rate is trending downward. It’s gotta be a technical problem, right?

However, it’s critical to support your customer through this journey to ensure a positive buyer experience.   The customer experience is a make-or-break way to stand out from the competition. In a time where customers can get their products from a plethora of brands, how you progress them on their journey will be a determining factor in whether they purchase from you... or someone else. In fact, 80% of consumers in one Salesforce survey said that the experience a business provides is just as important as their services and products.   Customer lifecycle journey mapping can help give you an overall picture of the buyer experience. The right map of the customer journey allows you to visualize what a customer wants and needs along each step of the process. If you are unsure where to begin, read on to learn more about customer journey mapping, how it can benefit your business, and the steps to create an effective map.   What is Customer Lifecycle Journey Mapping?   A customer lifecycle journey map is a visual representation of the ideal path that a consumer will take as they interact with a brand along their way toward becoming a loyal, lasting customer. It is a diagram that offers a high-level view of the stages a customer goes through, starting from before they become a customer to after they leave a brand.

According to Gartner, marketing budgets have been reduced, which may cause more work for marketers. Essential marketers are left feeling overwhelmed. As more work and responsibilities are piled onto marketing, time constraints become a reality. For example, because marketing is now viewed as a revenue center, team members must spend a large quantity of time combing through analytics so they can prove their value.   Thankfully there are ways a marketing team can gain back more time so they can dive into strategy and create personalized campaigns to entice customers to remain loyal. Let’s find out exactly what your team can do to gain back time. Use AI to Improve Your Marketing Team’s Performance Marketing teams have a host of technology they use each and every day. And moving between all their various martech costs them time. In fact, data preparation and segmentation now takes up more of marketers' time than any other task. On top of that, teams are continuing to replace or upgrade to new technologies which requires time to learn.   Due to their inefficient tools, marketers waste loads of time performing essential tasks. As the greatest resource of marketing teams is your people, the last thing you want for them is to be heads-down, configuring tech, instead of working on strategies.

Impossible to imagine, isn’t it? That’s because in this chicken-and-egg scenario, we know which one came first: Email predates e-commerce. The earliest electronic messages were shared in 1965, and email programs were developed in the 1970s (source). The first B2B online store opened in the early 1980s, but the first consumer e-commerce retailer, Book Stacks Unlimited, opened its virtual doors in 1992 (source).   Email and the public internet gave rise to the powerhouse that is e-commerce. E-commerce has become big business and continues to become even bigger business despite economic shifts that one might expect to deter it.

Add in real-time personalization and your email becomes highly relevant to the recipient and even more impactful. Naturally, the technology you use to facilitate your email marketing strategy — your ESP — is a vital component of your tech stack.   But today’s ESPs aren’t the same as they were 15 years, 10 years, or even one year ago. “Next-gen” ESPs are gaining traction, and the vendor landscape has shifted. What’s causing this shift? What does the future hold for ESPs? In our recent webinar The Evolution of the ESP: What’s Next For 2022, hosted with Retail Dive, Email Connect founder and president Chris Marriott discussed the trends driving the evolution of ESPs, where ESPs are heading in the coming years, as well as a deep dive into the ways ESPs have evolved... and continue to do so.    Here are three trends that we learned from the webinar that are shaping the ESP evolution. #1. The Definition of ESP Is Changing Martech as a whole has become plump with three-letter acronyms — CRM, CDP, DMP, DAM, PIM, MDM... the list goes on. Some of these are table-stakes pieces of technology that most marketers regularly use. Others are less common tools, known only to the most tech-savvy marketers (or those unafraid to ask “what do those letters stand for? ”). Yet others imply something leading or cutting edge, but end up obfuscating the... --- ### G2 Winter 2022 Report: SAP Emarsys Is a Leader in Personalization, Marketing Analytics, and More > The G2 Winter Report 2022 has just been released, and SAP Emarsys is proud to be named a leader in the industry once again. - Published: 2021-12-15 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/g2-winter-2022-report-emarsys-is-a-leader-in-personalization-marketing-analytics-and-more/ - Categories: General, SAP Emarsys Applied - Translation Priorities: Optional Our clients are amazing!

On average, enterprises use 91 marketing cloud services, yet nearly 40% of those services are not fully implemented or used. That’s not surprising since there are more than 8,000 marketing software solutions brands can choose from. Finding the right solution can be challenging with all these options. On top of that, companies frequently change tools, which requires employees to learn new interfaces and methodologies, all of which can take time.   The problem is not you or your team; the problem is too much redundant or ineffective tech. Top Marketing Challenges Download the Infographic The following is the text portion of the infographic, or you can be instantly transported to the conclusion: Businesses are expecting marketers to do more with less. In general, marketers are under pressure to prove their worth, and yet marketing budgets have been slashed.   Teams are smaller, and marketers have more responsibilities than ever, including customer experience, brand management, digital marketing, CRM, retention, and more. On top of all of that, more work is being done in-house.   Tech issues abound, too. Software is siloed, and marketers lose precious time bouncing from system to system. These silos also result in disconnected data and uncoordinated communication across channels, leaving customers with unpersonalized, unsatisfactory experiences. How can marketers effectively drive revenue when their tech is holding them back?   41% of in-house retail marketers lose time moving between different... --- ### An Inside Look: How a Global SaaS Company Prioritizes Culture, People & Diversity > You wear a badge of honor when you say “I work in tech.” At SAP Emarsys, that privilege is doubled… but so is the fun of serving global clients. - Published: 2021-12-01 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/emarsys-culture-values/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional From Munich to Budapest, Sydney to Singapore, Vienna to Indiana, we’re still innovating, still more committed to clients than ever, and still growing as a unified team nearly two years after the pandemic ransacked so much of the industry – and took so many businesses with it.   When I think back over my 4+ years with Emarsys North America, I can’t help but for the nostalgia to overcome me. I become sentimental looking back and remembering when the entire office celebrated together when we crossed the "100 North American clients" mark. Or the multiple Halloween parties where the entire office dressed up and laughed with one another...   ... or the Thanksgiving get-togethers where we all brought a bite to contribute to the smorgasbord...   ... and the holiday gift drives we organize every year to help those less fortunate.   I close my eyes and think back. I remember ups and downs, the coming and going of new faces. I remember the late nights that no one else saw, when my colleagues selflessly stayed until midnight just to finish a project. Not because they had to. But because they wanted to. I feel excited by the fast pace of change... amidst rebrands and renovations to the platform, reshaping and restructuring of teams, and a continuous reworking of how my team creates material to support the global organization... I feel joy and gratitude to be here. And, I'm not alone: In the Indianapolis location alone, I’ve encountered new faces and made new friends from... --- ### 3 Progressive Profiling Flows That Lead to Better Customer Data > Demystify customer profiling with these 3 visual examples of progressive profiling flows.

See how it works and get practical tips. Progressive profiling is a powerful tool in the modern marketer’s kit.   In an earlier article, we defined progressive profiling as “a method of collecting relevant information from your customers gradually, as you keep them engaged over time, rather than asking for too much data all at once. ” That article also explores best practices for using progressive profiling to help drive customer loyalty.   Now it’s time to dig in and get even more practical. I’m talking about progressive profiling templates, examples of flows that can help you paint a complete picture of who your individual customers really are. By building up your customer data in a systematic way, you’ll be able to curate more tailored content for your customers. The data you collect through progressive profiling enables you to deliver personalized 1:1 experiences that show them you understand and care about them as individuals. That’s how you build true customer loyalty. I’m going to assume you don’t need further convincing about why you should use progressive profiling. After all, you came here for the templates, right? So pull up your notebook, grab a caffeinated beverage, open your favorite customer engagement platform, and get ready to start profiling.   Tips to Remember When Building Any Profiling Journey Before building any progressive profiling journey, I advise marketers to keep these tips in mind: Start broad. Begin with questions that 100% of your audience will be able and willing to answer. For example, any shopper could answer “Are you shopping for yourself or for a... --- ### How to Choose the Right Email Service Provider > Choosing an email service provider (ESP) can be daunting.

In the lead-up to Black Friday, marketers sent 834 million promotional emails, 21% more than the previous year, according to our data. Additionally, email click-throughs increased by 12%. Email marketing is still one of the most effective ways to reach your target audience. The real advantage of email is that it has a 44x return on investment. Spending $1 on email can net you $44 in return.   Email marketing is not only one of the most effective ways to communicate with customers and prospects, it’s also one of the easiest. Choosing between different providers can be difficult. It’s important to know what to look for when choosing an email service provider. If you are not careful about which solution you choose and how you use this tool, your emails could end up in the spam folder of your customers. How Do I Choose the Right Email Service Provider? One of the advantages of email marketing is its versatility. In any digital marketing strategy, email campaigns can be used to drive results in a variety of ways.   For this reason, choosing the right email service provider (ESP) is critical to the success of your brand. You must know what you’re looking for. Take some time with your team and write down your specific requirements to make certain the ESP you choose has the necessary features. If you are switching ESPs for any reason — whether it's due to downtime... --- ### FitForCommerce Index and its Benefits for Retailers > The 2021 Index examines how 100 retailers & brands perform against 250+ criteria across web, mobile, and in-store.

An omnichannel strategy means consolidating all of an organization's touchpoints, like physical shops, social media, email, and more.

It’s been one month now since I’ve stepped into this role, and I want to introduce myself and talk a little about how I plan to guide Emarsys into a new era of sophisticated omnichannel marketing.   A Little about Me I’ve dedicated my career to the marketing and technology industry. Over that time period, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to the growth of some amazing brands. In August 2001, I was employee #1 at ExactTarget, which went public in 2012 and was sold in 2013 for $2. 5 billion. I served at Salesforce for several years as the Senior VP of Product Management before joining SAP in 2020 as the Head of CX Marketing Cloud, not long before SAP acquired Emarsys. I came to SAP because they have a different perspective on the end-to-end challenges facing businesses, and with marketers owning/being responsible for the total customer experience, no other brand has a broader view than SAP.   In my career, I’ve built sales, services, and product teams from scratch and rapidly scaled... --- ### Use Web Push to Increase Conversions & Retention [6 Use Cases] > Learn how to use web push notifications to strengthen on-site identification, get around inbox clutter, and power up your shipping notifications, back-in-stock, and more. - Published: 2021-10-19 - Modified: 2021-10-19 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/web-push/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: web channel, web push - Translation Priorities: Optional A 2020 McKinsey survey revealed that “Only 15% of CMOs believe their company is on the right track with personalization.

According to studies, web retention and e-commerce personalization are on the decline, but there’s ample opportunity for growth by using web push alerts. Hootsuite and We Are Social found in a 2019 survey that we’re averaging 6 hours and 42 minutes online each day — with half of that coming from activity on mobile devices.

Seemingly endless point solutions exist in the market. Sure, it’s a lot.

The abundance of choice starts to become overwhelming, and dealing with the complexity of disjointed tech becomes a time suck.   It’s a problem.

Say you go to a party (a nice party with shrimp cocktails and imported cheese). While you enjoy the fancy appetizers, the host introduces you to someone. You find out that her name is Barbara, and she’s a freelance web designer. A month later, you meet Barbara again at a dinner gathering, where you learn that she’s a vegetarian and lives on the north side of the city. The next time you meet Barbara, you have a great conversation and ask to exchange social media profiles to keep in touch.   Progressive profiling is a lot like that... just with more marketing and technology involved.   As a marketer, you need to understand the strategy behind progressive profiling. Read on for more details along with progressive profiling best practices that can help you build positive relationships with your customers and increase your overall customer lifetime value.   What Is Progressive Profiling? To effectively market to your customers, you need to understand who they are. Armed with detailed information, you’re better able to serve up the brand experiences that will capture their interests and drive engagements. To make this happen you need to build profiles of individual customers that include relevant and helpful data for your marketing efforts.   But (and here’s the catch) consumers still feel ambivalent about how brands are using their data in advertising and marketing. According to a report by eMarketer, 50% of internet users say personalization helps them... --- ### Don't Panic!

But I was upset the next day when the airline emailed me asking whether I’m ready to book my trip... the same trip I booked the night before 🤯.   How do you feel when a company sends you an email with the same product you just purchased? Or even worse, a coupon for what you just bought... probably loads of buyer’s remorse sets in. It’s not a good feeling.   Customer loyalty programs can help to solve this, but I’m not talking about the points and promotions programs you’re accustomed to. Customer loyalty should revolve around providing customized experiences for all customers. Below are the pillars you can use to create a customer loyalty program that entices customers to continue buying from you over and over again as you build a relationship with them.  1.

So How Will Your Marketing Change? How Accurate Are Open Rates? Since 2013, as many as 30% of emails sent to Gmail may have been inaccurately attributed as opened. Why?

Since Apple Mail is between 11-13% of the email market, open rates are going to be even more unclear due to the upcoming Mail Privacy Protection.   In essence, open rates have been subject to inaccuracy for the past eight years due to Google’s attribution methods. As Gmail has 18% of the email client market, you may have experienced inaccurate open rates for some time now, unbeknownst to you. The Death of Email?

Services like Spotify, Netflix, and Xbox Game Pass have transformed these limited and prized collections to a commodity, where anyone can easily access more albums, movies, and video games than could ever fit into a home. For this convenience a monthly fee is paid that’s typically smaller than outright purchasing an album, movie, or video game.   Subscriptions exist for audiobooks, cosmetics, shoes, groceries, meals, supplements, and many other products and services. The days when a company had a one-time deal with a customer will soon be in the past.   Offering a subscription extends a more affordable option over the high price of ownership. For example, through the Adobe Creative Cloud, consumers can access the entire suite of Adobe products for a low monthly fee vs. one hefty fee for each piece of software. Even some automotive companies, such as Volvo, are jumping into subscriptions, offering a vehicle for a monthly fee that covers all maintenance and insurance. Let’s take a look at the current subscription-based economy and what it offers to companies that provide such a service.   Why Offer a Subscription? One of the most important reasons that companies offer subscriptions is to connect with their most loyal customers and... --- ### 6 Effective E-Commerce Marketing Ideas to Implement > Learn six e-commerce marketing ideas that leading brands are using to improve their strategy and deliver results for their business. - Published: 2021-07-01 - Modified: 2021-09-20 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/6-effective-e-commerce-marketing-ideas-to-implement/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: e-commerce, marketing strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional With an expected revenue of $5. 4 trillion by next year, the e-commerce industry is booming. That means there’s an enormous market available to online retailers as well as a growing amount of competition.   To stand out, your business has to hone a razor sharp marketing plan that engages consumers on multiple platforms, provides personalized content, and shows appreciation for your customers. This post explores six ways to do that. 1. Collect More Product Reviews Three out of four consumers don’t trust advertising and most try to avoid it. In a market where your target audience detests ads, how do you get the word out about your great products? Two words: Product reviews.   Shoppers view ads as untrustworthy sources of information because they know brands are trying to sell them something. Reviews, on the other hand, are seen as helpful information provided without any ulterior motives. This makes them a powerful source of marketing.   You want to get at least 40 reviews for every product, but more is always better. To expand your review collection, provide customers with multiple opportunities to share their thoughts.   2. Use Abandoned Cart Emails Approximately $4 trillion in merchandise is abandoned in online carts every year. This is a serious chunk of revenue that online retailers are missing out on. Luckily, you can easily recoup many of these sales with abandoned cart emails. Abandoned cart emails are incredibly effective because they target consumers that have already indicated they want a product. They just need an incentive... . --- ### Will Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection Change Email Marketing Forever? > Apple’s upcoming iOS 15, iPadOS, and macOS updates will include a major email change.

You have no idea when your item will arrive, where it’s coming from, or if it was even shipped. Apple’s upcoming iOS 15 — available this Fall — will include a new feature called Mail Privacy Protection that blocks relevant tracking information from being sent back to an Email Marketing Platform and used by a marketing team to determine the open rates of emails they send. This “feature” — within Apple Mail on the upcoming iOS, iPadOS, and macOS releases — “Stops senders from using invisible pixels to collect information about the user. The new feature helps users prevent senders from knowing when they open an email and masks their IP address so it can’t be linked to other online activity or used to determine their location. ” (Apple) Basically, it’s going to be impossible to get accurate open rates from subscribers using Apple Mail. Is this a real shake-up in email marketing? Keep reading to find out. Privacy Within iOS Apple has touted improved privacy features for some time now. With last year’s iOS 14, Apple added additional privacy controls, along with the ability to limit how much of a user's data is shared with companies.  In iOS 14. 5 Apple released its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) privacy feature that requires apps to request the user's permission before collecting their data. They provided the ability for a user to opt-out of IDFA (identifier for advertisers)... --- ### More Time for Marketers: 3 Time-Saving Innovations Included in the SAP Emarsys Summer Release 2021 > Learn how key features and enhancements in the SAP Emarsys Summer Release 2021 give marketers more power by giving them more time. - Published: 2021-06-24 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-marketers-save-time-2021/ - Categories: SAP Emarsys Applied - Tags: marketing technology - Translation Priorities: Optional 2020 was a challenging year for retail and e-commerce. Although some businesses may have panicked, the savviest and most successful brands found ways to keep the conversation going with their customers, even acquiring new ones, and all the while accelerating business outcomes.   Of course, the unsung hero in that scenario was you, the marketer.   It was you and your marketing teams that found ways to continue engaging customers across any and all channels — wherever the customer was — with only limited resources available to you. As a result, you helped drive revenue for the brand, and reaffirmed marketing’s vital importance to the business. But now that businesses have gotten a taste of how much their leaner marketing departments can impact bottom line results, they want more. Your marketing team, already deprived of the support from your agencies, is being asked to continue driving revenue at a pace that exceeds the resources you have — with time as the most precious and limited of those resources. The good news is, the 40+ new features and enhancements in the Emarsys Summer Release 2021 are designed specifically to give more power to marketers. And one of the ways that is achieved is by helping marketers save time.   When Time is Not on Your Side  Time is a big factor for marketers. Not only is it elusive in that there never seems to be enough of it, but also, the window of time in which executives expect to see results from marketing continues... --- ### Using Post-Purchase Feedback to Drive Repeat Purchases > Your customer has finally made a purchase. Now, you’re wondering what you should do next. Learn how you can leverage post-purchase feedback to drive repeat sales. - Published: 2021-06-18 - Modified: 2023-10-26 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/purchase-feedback-to-drive-repeat-purchases/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Translation Priorities: Optional I remember returning a pair of jeans to a store and the clerk asked if anything was wrong with them. I pointed out the legs were shorter than the stated measurements. Instead of noting this information, the clerk said something along the lines of “well, they’re all hand-cut so you may experience slight variations. ” I’m not sure about you, but whenever I return something, the sales associate never seems to jot down why I made the return. They simply ask the question (something along the lines of why I’m returning it), I answer, and they hand me back my money.   As you’ve experienced, finding new customers can be expensive, especially when loyal customers are up to five times less expensive to keep around. Being open to learning from customers goes a long way in providing them with a positive experience, one that will help them return, and will help you build a stronger relationship.   Understanding exactly what your customers want is pivotal to your brand’s future. You can learn from your customers by sending a survey after they purchase to gather feedback and use that information to enhance their future buying decisions. Why Implement Post-Purchase Customer Surveys?   As marketers, we like to focus on attracting customers across multiple channels. Creating a video for YouTube, bringing in new customers via Facebook Ads, generating leads through your content... all these channels can bring you new customers. But what happens after they purchase? Your customers may contribute a great deal of revenue over... --- ### 3 Tips for Driving Customer Loyalty in the Era of Digital-First Retail > Learn how to drive customer loyalty in this new digital era of retail with insights from the latest IMRG x SAP Emarsys retail report. - Published: 2021-06-14 - Modified: 2023-08-30 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/3-tips-for-driving-customer-loyalty-in-the-era-of-digital-first-retail/ - Categories: Innovative Perspectives - Tags: customer loyalty, imrg, retail digital strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional COVID ushered in the digital era of retail, turning many online-curious customers into full-fledged digital-first shoppers. And now that these customers have had a taste of the convenience and efficiency that online shopping affords them, they’re likely to continue the habit.   But now that many physical stores are beginning to re-open, where will customers prefer to shop? Online? Or in-store? In truth, it’s both — every and all channels are in play.   Regardless of where and how your customers prefer to shop, your primary objective as a retail marketer remains unchanged: deliver exceptional, highly satisfying experiences that keep customers returning to your brand again and again (and positively impact the bottom line for the business). This means customer loyalty is more important than it’s ever been.   In a recently released IMRG report Driving Customer Loyalty in a Digital Era, created in partnership with Emarsys, we are given insights into how current online growth will continue, how store openings might impact purchasing patterns, and how customer expectations may change in the future — all of which can help guide your approach for driving customer loyalty in this new digital era of retail.   Here are a few key highlights. Skip the Assumptions It goes without saying that customers are your most critical asset. But if you’re not careful, it’s easy to take customers for granted. Each and every customer is different and unique, with their own set of needs and desires. Making broad assumptions about customers is risky, especially if you’re making... --- ### SAP-SAP Emarsys Is a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cross-Channel Campaign Management, Q2 2021 > The latest Forrester Wave™ is out.

Now that we’re part of the SAP family, we’ve been included alongside our new family within The Forrester Wave™: Cross-Channel Campaign Management (EMSS Modules), Q2 2021. Let’s take a look at why SAP-Emarsys was named a strong performer in this latest report. Personalization v. s. Channels Many companies believe cross-channel or omnichannel marketing is the road they should travel. Yes, that’s true -- but only if personalization is the focal point.   If your brand continues sending your customers the same message over and over across multiple channels (when that message has nothing to do with them) they may seek out a competitor. Your ultimate goal should be to personalize the experience of your customers. To do so, it’s necessary to understand who the customer is, what they want, at what price, in what channel, at what time, etc. A single channel cannot accomplish this. The Biggest Challenges in CCCM To best provide exceptional customer experiences, brands must leverage personalization from the vast amounts of data they acquire. Yet many brands tend to keep their data in silos, sealed off from internal teams, making it difficult to obtain a complete customer profile to achieve the best marketing campaign results. Silos are still a widespread challenge... --- ### 9 E-Commerce Marketing Strategies to Put You Ahead of the Competition > The e-commerce arena is more competitive than ever.

However, that’s still pretty far into the future. Looking at the current e-commerce paradigm, Statista data on worldwide retail e-commerce sales shows that digital transactions amounted to a stunning $4. 28 trillion in 2020 and are expected to grow to $5. 4 trillion by 2022. Because of how ubiquitous and lucrative e-commerce has become, ensuring that merchants are employing preeminent digital marketing strategies is critical to succeeding in the increasingly competitive retail landscape. With that in mind, this post breaks down nine e-commerce marketing tactics retailers can use to dominate competitors and gain more market share. 9 E-Commerce Marketing Strategies for Online Success In today’s digital environment, there are tons of potential tactics that sellers might employ to capture new customers and retain existing customers. However, here are the nine most compelling and effective strategies: 1. Elevate the Customer Experience via Personalization Personalization has become of critical importance to e-commerce success. If this weren’t readily apparent in the era of Amazon, McKinsey data on personalizing the customer experience affirms this assertion. As the report reveals, a stunning 80% of consumers want personalization from retailers. Moreover, those who implement compelling measures tend to see “20% higher customer-satisfaction rates a 10-15% boost in sales-conversion rates. ” It’s vital for retailers to implement various personalization tactics to produce a stand-out shopping experience. These may include: Personalized product recommendations based on browsing and... --- ### How to Collect Zero Party Data (With Examples) > With privacy concerns and industry regulations on the rise, marketers are relying on zero-party data now, more than ever before.

Let’s explore zero-party data and how customers can provide you with this information. What is Zero-Party Data?   Forrester coined the term zero-party data and states it’s “Data that a customer intentionally and proactively shares with a brand, which can include preference center data, purchase intentions, personal context, and how the individual wants the brand to recognize her. ”  Zero-party data is information a customer shares directly with you about themselves, and it’s vital your brand collects this information since Safari and Firefox, and recent iOS 14 changes, have fundamentally altered the way a brand collects customer data and tracks advertising performance.   Benefits of Zero-Party Data Customers want to hear from you. This is one of the main reasons they provide you with this information. The major benefits of zero-party data include: Quality and accuracy: Since zero-party data comes directly from the customer, your brand can be certain that a customer wants to hear from you.  Relevance: Because zero-party data comes straight from your audience, you learn exactly how customers would like for you to connect with them, based on their preferences.  Inexpensive: Since it already exists within your systems, collecting zero-party data is very... --- ### Prepare Users for ATT Prompts: How to Apply Push Opt-In Pre-Permissioning Techniques to ATT > Learn how you can use pre-permissioning to better prepare your mobile app users for App Tracking Transparency prompts and get more opt-in. - Published: 2021-04-30 - Modified: 2023-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-to-apply-pre-permissioning-techniques-to-app-tracking-transparency-prompts/ - Categories: How to - Tags: customer data privacy, mobile marketing, mobile subscribers - Translation Priorities: Optional It’s here. The update that marketers have been warned about, and worried about: Apple’s iOS 14. 5 has been released, along with its App Tracking Transparency privacy feature.   This feature requires apps to ask users for permission before tracking their activity. Although it’s a win for consumers in terms of protecting their privacy, it presents challenges for marketers, particularly when personalized customer experiences are becoming an expectation, and the very activity that App Tracking Transparency is gating is what fuels the experiences customers crave.   Let’s dive into what implications this has for mobile marketers, and how they can best communicate this change in order to put customers at ease and get more opt-ins.   App Track Transparency (In A Nutshell) So what is App Track Transparency — commonly abbreviated as ATT — and how does this impact the work of marketers?   The name says it all: It offers consumers transparency into how the apps they engage with might track their activities and behavior, and potentially share that information with other apps or websites. In that sense, it’s very similar to GDPR data processing in that explicit consent must come from the user.   Giving Users a Choice Consumers have long been advocating for better control over their personal data, so this isn’t a surprise. And objectively, putting privacy controls in the hands of the consumer (rather than companies) is a good thing.   As Apple’s Senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi told The Wall Street Journal regarding ATT, “We really just want to... --- ### Break Down the Silos or Break Your Customer Experience > Data and operational silos cost brands not only revenue, but also delivering the winning customer experience their audience demands.

Personalization requires vast amounts of good data, but sometimes a brand strands data in a silo, an isolated storage place inaccessible to the rest of the organization. How could you possibly achieve the best results without a complete customer profile? Brands with siloed data could very well damage their current relationships with customers. While it’s good news that brands are aware of this problem with 97% of executives saying data silos are negatively impacting their business, silos are still a widespread challenge: 47% of marketers say some part of their customer data is siloed and difficult to access. 47% of digital customer experience executives say that data silos are the biggest obstacle in providing an excellent customer experience.   54% of marketers say that fragmented and siloed data are the biggest barriers to leveraging customer data. The explosive growth in e-commerce has introduced so many touchpoints where great personalization data can be gathered, but if you can’t put all that channel data together into one unified profile, how successful can your digital marketing be? Your priority is to strengthen relationships by using personalized customer experiences. But that requires your brand to put your first-party data in one place where everyone can access it and see exactly what your customers want. Let’s take a look at how silos get in the way of true customer-centric marketing and what you can (must) do to eradicate them and engage customers like never before. How Silos Are... --- ### Cookieless Tracking: Tips for E-Commerce Marketers in 2021 > Data privacy is becoming ever-more important in the digital age.

Without a doubt, there has been a shift in digital marketing as we know it. Third-party cookies have played a critical role in online marketing over the last ten years. However, data privacy is becoming ever-more important in the digital age. Google is now phasing out third-party cookies within the next year, and the need for online, cookieless tracking is imminent.   Rest assured, there is still time to prepare for a cookieless world.   For marketers, the key is to find a balance between having the necessary privacy and security measures in place while still delivering a personalized user experience. This post will explore the topic of cookieless/anonymous tracking and provide marketers with tips for navigating a cookieless future. What is Cookie-based Tracking? Cookie-based tracking is when a web browser stores a cookie, a small text file, on a user’s computer to track the individual’s activity online. Cookie-based tracking monitors a user's browsing activity and tracks their IP addresses to collect data specific to the user. Typically, this information is leveraged for targeted marketing and advertising, but cookie-based tracking doesn’t have the best reputation in terms of privacy.   For example, when you choose to keep yourself logged into a particular website for future visits, your browser will store a cookie onto your computer. The website can in turn interact with and keep track of your preferences for the future, which sounds great. However, cookie-based tracking does not come without privacy concerns. Are Cookies Bad? Cookies themselves aren’t harmful because the data... --- ### How PUMA Europe Grew its Database 5x in 6 Months with Personalized Marketing > PUMA Europe has grown their email database by 50% plus a corresponding 5x increase in revenue share attributed to email with SAP Emarsys.

PUMA is one of the largest athletic sportswear brands in the world, but even this kind of monumental growth has been largely unforeseen across the retail space.

We sat down with Witts to better understand how PUMA tapped into marketing magic during an especially rough H2 of 2020. Right Time, Right Content for Each Customer Marketers know mass marketing is dead, but for most, the move to personalization isn’t as easy as 1-2-3... except for PUMA. In the last few months, the EU team has been able to begin identifying segments within the database who were highly engaged, highly motivated and likely to purchase in the next 2-3 months. The team could then target specific customers and unlock full revenue potential, as well as generate higher engagement and open rates since content was crafted with better situational appeal.

A year ago, we were entering the thick of the recession, and restrictions on retail, in-store shopping, and customer accessibility were mounting. But as society and shopping begins to open back up, so do opportunities for marketers. Here’s 5 game-tested ways you can boost customer engagement in Q2 2021. 1. Grab Attention with Intention Using Transaction Emails Transactional emails are your first shot (or perfect chance, depending on lifecycle stage) to make a killer impression. Email receipts aren’t enough. A comprehensive post-purchase email outlines the purchase made, but also provides deeper value with cross-sells, product recs, and social media callouts. They move customers along; not merely move them on. 2. Make Mobile a Primary Channel of Focus It’s 2021 – there’s no excuse for a mobile CX anything less than stellar. Mobile responsive emails and websites, a functional app, and timely notifications are table stakes. Mobile-first and mobile-focused companies understand that a customer’s cell phone is a direct portal to their mind and heart, and they use it to create intimate bonds with incredibly intricate strategies, like: Timely, tailored mobile emails and SMS messages curated on a 1:1 level – at every point in the customer lifecycle Ensuring a connected experience unifying app activity with website behavior in real time  Building mobile-friendly loyalty programs with incentives, recommendations and rewards Of course, a top-tier mobile marketing strategy is predicated on the management... --- ### First-Party Data-Driven Personalization — The Golden Key to Repeat Purchase > Retail learned a couple lessons in 2020.

Some brands fear that consumers won’t share their data as willingly if they can easily opt-out, but the reality is that consumers will trade their data for a top-notch personalized customer experience. Recently, retail personalization experts sat down to discuss the current state of first-party data and how it fuels and strengthens the ongoing customer experience. Guests include: Tabitha Cassidy (Moderator), Content Manager & Research Analyst at Digital Commerce 360 Fred Gerantabee, Chief Executive Officer at FGX International Ian Rosen, Executive Vice President Digital & Strategy at Harry Rosen Dhiraj Rustagi, Vice President E-Commerce & Marketing at NorthShore Care Supply Alex Timlin, Senior Vice President, Retail, at Emarsys Let’s hit the insights highlights, but you can watch the entire discussion at any time right here. Using First-Party Data to Enhance the Shopping Experience The great gold rush of data is heating up, and retailers are discovering the best ways to use that data to deliver the shopping and purchasing experience customers want. Many brands are developing greater ways to ingest data at every appropriate touchpoint, as long as it doesn’t create friction in the experience.

According to Gartner, 62% of consumers are using mobile devices to research or purchase products. And Emarsys’ own research shows that 55% and 44% of US and UK consumers, respectively, do the majority of their shopping on their mobile phones. The pandemic spurred customers to lean further into mobile, and most notably, mobile apps. App downloads increased 33% in 2020, with consumers spending $143 billion on apps. Plus, 30% of US consumers and 20% of UK consumers have subscribed to a new app during lockdown (Emarsys).   Clearly, the buy-in is there — customers don’t see the use of mobile apps as some niche experience. So why is it that 70% of people who download an app only ever use it once? And why are some mobile apps still struggling to drive repeat revenue and loyalty from their user base? It’s because many businesses are not yet truly personalizing the experience for mobile app users, which hinders their ability to convert them into paying subscribers.   Let’s look at the role of personalization in creating mobile app experiences that customers will find subscription-worthy.   Getting App-solutely Personal Truly personalized mobile app experiences — the kind that lead to more paying subscribers — are cumulative, in that a lot of pieces must be in place to get it right.   It starts by delivering the right message to the right user. It needs to be sent on the right channel (yes, even with mobile apps, other channels... --- ### High Street Shake Up: How John Lewis Is Adapting to the Changing Retail Landscape > Retailers have learned vital lessons from the digital shift, one of which is that in-store and online are more closely linked than they’d thought. - Published: 2021-04-08 - Modified: 2021-09-20 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/high-street-shake-up-how-john-lewis-is-adapting-to-the-changing-retail-landscape/ - Categories: General, Thought Leadership - Tags: data, personalization, retail - Translation Priorities: Optional John Lewis & Partners are closing eight more stores, after announcing last July that they would close an initial eight stores throughout the UK. This new round of permanent closures comes after the high-street retailer recorded its first annual loss (£517 million) ever in 2020. In a press release, Sharon White, Chairperson of the John Lewis Partnership, stated, “The high street is going through its biggest change for a generation, and we are changing with it. Customers will still be able to get the trusted service that we are known for — however and wherever they want to shop. ” First opened in 1864, John Lewis has come to be known for their world-class customer service, and many customers of the prestigious brand travel to visit their stores. But in less than a year, the retailer has chopped about a third of their stores in the UK. "There is no getting away from the fact that some areas can no longer profitably sustain a John Lewis store,” White said. Despite the 34 John Lewis stores that will begin reopening on April 12, what does this mean for the brand going forward? How will they prevent further closures? And how will they engage customers both online and in-store?   Why John Lewis Stores Won’t Reopen The unraveling of the John Lewis empire of stores has been developing for a few years, even after record revenue gains in 2019.

Customers interacted with brands through mass-market advertising and TV commercials. They went into the physical store to make purchases and called into businesses to place their orders. Digital communication technologies, such as the Internet, social media, and email, have completely changed the game. Today, consumers can shop from a multitude of channels including web, mobile, brick and mortar storefronts, and more. The digital and physical worlds have collided and customers have grown to expect an omnichannel experience. In this day and age, brands can no longer solely rely on the quality of their customer service to make sure their customers keep coming back. Now, brands must focus on consistently engaging with their audiences across multiple channels. By providing multiple ways for customers to interact and engage with your brand, you are enhancing... --- ### What is First-Party Data?

While customers expect content to be tailored to their preferences and needs, they’re also demanding greater transparency and control over how their personal data is used.   Historically, digital marketers have relied upon first-, second-, and third-party customer data to personalize content and anticipate customer needs, but with Google phasing out third-party cookies by 2022 and customer data regulations on the rise, what’s a marketer to do?   The answer lies in first-party data. What is First-Party Data? First-party data is any information collected directly from your audience or customer base. There are many advantages of using first-party data and value that this data can offer. First-party data provides the most quality insights into your audience so you can create a personalized experience for users, improve the retargeting strategy to better performance, and predict future trends.   First-party data is top quality when compared to other forms of customer data for several reasons... . --- ### Every Channel Is In Play: Why Omnichannel CX is Fundamental for Retail Marketing > Learn why omnichannel CX, and the ability to deliver seamless 1:1 experiences across all touchpoints, matters for driving business results. - Published: 2021-03-18 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/why-omnichannel-cx-is-fundamental-for-retail-marketing/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: omnichannel marketing, retail - Translation Priorities: Optional You’d be hard-pressed to find a single-channel shopper these days.   E-commerce is rapidly growing, and customers are leaning into the ease and convenience of digital channels — web, mobile, apps, and more. The handful of traditionalists who previously would only shop in a brick-and-mortar store likely gave up those traditions once the pandemic hit, and online shopping became the best (or only) option.   There’s no going back. Customers are now shopping on more channels than ever before, and the majority prefer these channels. And with stores re-opening around the world, in-store shopping is coming back in full swing. Every channel is in play, and to the customer, no matter where they shop, it’s all the same brand experience. So your retail marketing execution must consider all channels.   To deliver on these expectations, keep customers satisfied, and drive business results for your retail brand, you must provide customers with seamless, continuous, and personalized experiences across all touchpoints. This requires you to make omnichannel CX a fundamental marketing priority.   If Your Brand Experiences Aren’t Omnichannel, It’s a Customer Disservice Imagine you craft an email that’s perfectly personalized; totally tailored to a customer’s specific needs and interests. But then what if that email goes straight into the customer's junk email account that they set up exclusively for unwanted marketing messages, and they hardly ever check it? That single-channel communication was ineffective. Or imagine your website shows banners featuring highly personalized product offers when a customer visits, but when that same customer engages with... --- ### Revenue Analytics, the Best Way to Measure and Drive Profitable Results > Revenue analytics not only shows you which campaigns work best on which segments, but it drives revenue as well. Learn more about leveraging this powerful tool. - Published: 2021-03-11 - Modified: 2021-09-20 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/revenue-analytics-the-best-way-to-measure-and-drive-profitable-results/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: e-commerce, first-party data, retail, revenue analytics - Translation Priorities: Optional 2020 was a boom year for online shopping. By January 2021, 4. 66 billion people were using the internet, up 316 million (+7. 3%) YoY, but with such huge increases in e-commerce, marketers are under greater pressure to deliver results. Forrester estimates that most brands will increase the volume of their marketing messages — email, SMS, push, etc. — by 40% in the coming year. Changes in privacy will impact bottom lines, and many brands are slashing marketing budgets. In addition to revenue growth goals, the increasing pressure on marketers demands efficiency, agility, and the ability to track performance.   Analytics makes the difference between guessing and knowing which campaigns work on which segments, and revenue attribution tells you exactly how marketing activities generate sales.   Revenue attribution has traditionally been used in paid marketing, where growth marketers use tools such as Google Ads or Facebook to attribute sales to ads. Last year, Emarsys released Revenue Analytics — a daily report that calculates and attributes sales to push, SMS, and email campaigns in your omnichannel strategy. This allows you to: Identify and optimize your top revenue-generating campaigns and programsShow management the revenue impact of your SMS, push notifications, and email campaignsSee which lifecycle segments make purchases from email, SMS, and push campaigns The Revenue Analytics report is built on the Revenue Attribution Service that shows — at a glance — the overall impact of your customer engagement strategies and highlights the automation programs and campaigns that deliver the most revenue to your business.

Brands must build real relationships. - Published: 2021-03-03 - Modified: 2021-09-20 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/create-customer-loyalty-lasting-relationships/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: customer loyalty, loyalty - Translation Priorities: Optional Loyalty means much more than just discounts and free gifts. Customer loyalty programs built solely on points, and price promos won’t last in the Age of Experience. Loyalty means much more than just discounts and free gifts. Customer loyalty programs built solely on points, and price promos won’t last in the Age of Experience. Brand interactions that stick out are the ones that cultivate ongoing connection, built on meaningful relationships. Retention-minded marketing teams are taking loyalty to the next level — from a nice-to-have concept to a well-defined, self-sustaining, revenue-driving program — by offering multi-pronged value for opted-in members. So, it’s time to ask: what kinds of experiences can you offer your customer in return for being loyal to your brand? Let’s break down four of my favorite tactics to integrate in a well-rounded customer loyalty program in 2021. Bring Customers into Your Loyalty Program In 2021, loyalty will be built on depth of value, not giving steeper discounts. But in order to create that foundation, you ‘ll need to get customers to join. Any successful loyalty relationship begins with a genuine first impression — from the moment of opt-in. My favorite local smoothie and acai shop retargets customers who are likely to become a member with non-invasive invitations to join the club. Once brand trust is established, the customer is willing to check out the offer and share their private data in exchange for the promise of personalized value. Now, the stage has been set for ongoing relationship building. Frutta Bowls has a good understanding of who their customer is, what they like, frequency of purchase, and more. What else could they — and your team... --- ### The Value Exchange: What Are You Giving Customers in Exchange for Their Data? > Marketers must earn the right to use customer data.

Brands saw more new customers than ever before, lending even more value to first-party data and even zero-party data, vital resources that enable 1:1 interactions and personalized journeys for each customer. 75% of consumers are more likely to buy from a retailer that recognizes them by name, recommends options based on past purchases, or knows their purchase history. Yet fewer than one out of three brands and other data professionals are actively testing or investing in new data solutions. So what do marketers need to focus on most now to maximize the value of customer data? More Data Collected in 2020 Emarsys research has revealed that 79% of the businesses collected more data on new customers in 2020 than ever before, and analyzing all that new information will give you insights into what customers prefer or feel about your brand. Matt Nolan, Senior Director of Product Marketing for Marketing, AI, and Decision Sciences at Pega, sees the importance of insightful, behavioral data: “Where the market is now is empathy; trying to really understand the customer, put yourself in their shoes. What’s changed is the availability and velocity of data. There’s a constant stream of information from the customer to the brand that gives them signals that can be interpreted to figure out if there’s a way they can help you, support you, or market to you. It’s not... --- ### Lounge Underwear Sees Big Wins by Putting Customer Experience First > Data is the lifeblood of personalization, and e-tailer Lounge Underwear leveraged the 2020 boom in data collection to serve up an excellent customer experience. - Published: 2021-02-12 - Modified: 2022-01-07 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/lounge-underwear-wins-on-the-customer-experience/ - Categories: Actionable Insights, General - Tags: e-commerce, e-commerce growth - Translation Priorities: Optional 2020 was a year of tectonic change in digital marketing, and the massive growth in online shopping continues to drive e-commerce brands to beat out competitors on customer experience alone. Recently Payal Hindocha, Vertical Product Marketing Manager at Emarsys spoke with Arron Kooner, Head of Customer Communications at Lounge Underwear. The online clothing company is growing fast — sales are up 250% YoY so far in 2021 — and engaging communications is a central part of their strategy. Relevant Content and Communications As many brands learned in the last year, consumers rely on online shopping when traditional stores and services are closed or limited. The key for brands is a strong web experience founded on personalization. There’s little excuse for sending irrelevant messages, unnecessary discounts, or recommending products a customer has never shown interest in. Lounge Underwear has focused deeply on this across multiple channels: Plugging It All into the Customer Experience Since great personalization is the key to a great customer experience, the most successful e-commerce brands have leveraged all the data they collected in 2020 to provide that great experience. But there’s a lot to orchestrate to seamlessly pull that experience off. Customer-First Tech to Drive the Whole Thing The tech stack is the physical backbone of your brand’s shopping experience — but to drive engagement long-term, not just any tech will suffice. It must take all the data your brand generates at every touchpoint, place it in a single platform accessible to the entire brand, and glean... --- ### What the iOS 14 Update Means for Marketers and Facebook Advertising > The death of cookies may bring a much-needed breath of fresh air to how we track customer behavior and gather data to provide the ultimate shopping experience. - Published: 2021-02-01 - Modified: 2021-05-03 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/what-the-ios-14-update-means-for-marketers-and-facebook-advertising/ - Categories: General, Thought Leadership - Translation Priorities: Optional The impending doom of cookies has arrived. While Safari and Firefox already block third-party tracking cookies, Google plans to phase out cookies by 2022. Between those two events, Apple will update their latest iOS version in early 2021 to give consumers more control of who gets to use their data and what’s done with it. While revolutionary for customers, the Apple update profoundly impacts every brand who advertises through Facebook — the Pixel is no more. Marketers will no longer be able to rely on Facebook’s ad-tracking Pixel for data collection and optimization. Without a way to track performance, customer relationships may suffer — some predict that sales through personalized ads may drop as much as 60% as the update is rolled out and enforced. $20 billion in annual revenues for third-party advertising is at stake. The industry is up in arms, many believing that brands will be forced to adopt a system that reintroduces inefficiency and less effective targeting. For many years now, marketers have been getting closer to 1:1 personalization than ever before. We’ve developed ways to use data to deliver the experience shoppers want and deserve. In that context, the imminent iOS update seems to be a major setback. However, before we panic, let’s take a look at what we know so far about the iOS 14 update, how this impacts Facebook advertising as a way to connect with customers, and how brands can prepare for yet another colossal upheaval in digital marketing. What’s Changing in iOS... --- ### Bingewatch TV: Customer Engagement Strategy Presentations > Enjoy a series of SAP Emarsys’ 1-minute or less video presentations about customer engagement strategies that work.

This is what many brands do with their customer data. These companies collect information such as past purchases, email click-through rates, in-app behavior – and much more – through various martech solutions that house data in separate siloes, making it very difficult to achieve omnichannel marketing success.    Data is the new oil and using one platform to connect your brand’s data to create engaging customer connections across any channel in real time is vital.   This unified approach allows a company to understand customers, form lasting relationships, and incentivizes buyers to remain loyal.    Loyalty and Relationships Loyal customers  make up roughly 20% of a brand’s audience... but they provide up to 80% of the revenue.   Here’s another eye-opening statistic: Loyal customers spend 67% more on products and services than new buyers, and it’s 5x easier to keep your current customers v. s. trying to acquire new ones. Keeping loyal customers happy is in your best interest... but beyond creating a loyalty program, how do customers become loyal?

See what top retailers are doing differently. It’s estimated that 1. 8 billion people around the globe purchase products online. Over the holidays, the vast majority of online sales likely came from anonymous first-time buyers of your brand. That’s a lot of new data. If you want to turn your unknown buyers into active brand advocates, the best thing you can do is move those individuals into your customer engagement programs and provide personalized experiences. These steps will help rise above your competition as you engage and build deeper relationships with your customers. The way consumers browse and buy from brands may be forever altered post-pandemic. It’s vital you  remain innovative with campaigns, content, and nurturing to keep pace. For example, what’s your plan to re-engage first-time buyers so they return over and over? Let’s break down three ways that today’s most successful and innovative brands are getting new, first-time holiday shoppers into the broader lifecycle to ultimately become loyal, returning customers. 1.    Focus on Value, Not Volume, with Loyalty or Subscription Programs The transition from sporadic, transactional-based interactions to customer-focused educational membership platforms is a paradigm shift many successful brands are making in 2021. Loyalty programs have a host of benefits and almost no cons. From a consumer standpoint, they’re based on value, not volume of messages. Loyalty programs are selective, not interruptive. For marketers, they foster engagement, create loads of usable data, and spur more purchases at a higher AOV. In addition to exclusive content and access to a members-only community, loyalty programs encourage repeat brand... --- ### G2 Winter 2021 Report Is Here (and SAP Emarsys Is a Leader Again) > G2 users gave the SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement Platform high scores for ease of use, easy admin, and best overall usability.

And now planning is in full swing for 2021. Here’s when turning to the experts helps. In a recent episode of Ink Tank, Movable Ink’s vodcast series for digital marketing leaders looking to excel in today’s ever-changing environment, Ross Williams (VP Retail, Emarsys) sat down with Becki Francis (Associate Director Client Strategy, Retail, Movable Ink) to discuss insights and tactics retail marketers can use to deliver results in 2021. Here are five takeaways from the episode to help you stay ahead of the curve in 2021 and accelerate business outcomes. 1. Focus on Moving Forward, Not Looking Back When COVID-19 first hit in early 2020, there was massive confusion. Brands were struggling to adapt to the situation, particularly when there was so much uncertainty in terms of lockdowns, social distancing, and government guidelines. No one knew how severely business would be impacted.   But for 2021, leading retail marketers are shifting the conversation away from, “What impact is COVID-19 having on our industry? ” to the more important (and business-critical) question: “How do we move forward and ensure our business is successful, no matter the circumstance? ” This will require digital marketers to really hone in on how the business is performing, how the individual channels are performing, and how customers are shopping. Then, they can turn any insights gleaned into actionable next steps. 2. Navigate the Unpredictable Future with a Truly Omnichannel Approach... --- ### Frasers Group Deepens Personalization with AI Stylist for Sports Direct > UK retailer Frasers Group has launched SAP Emarsys AI Stylist, providing a level of personalization that beats even Amazon.

Everybody’s vying online for the same customers, and they’re competing at delivering a memorable, omnichannel customer experience (CX). Not discounts, low prices, or free shipping — experience is what consumers are voting for with their dollars this year. The key ingredient is personalization. However, there are varying degrees, and brands need far more than the bargain basement features like first name, last name, and basic demographic data to get it right.    UK fashion retailer Sports Direct, managed by their parent company Frasers Group, has just proven that not only is it possible to significantly improve the CX in a short period of time, but with the right personalization tools — like the Emarsys AI Stylist — a retailer can offer the same high-caliber experience online that customers once had in-store. Shifting to Digital and Amping Up Personalization at the Same Time Like so many retailers around the world, Frasers Group suffered when the pandemic hit, forcing them to close brick-and-mortars, their main source of revenue. Sound familiar? The brand had to act quickly and furloughed employees, a harsh yet necessary measure to survive, but that made things twice as hard: Frasers Group and Sports Direct had to reclaim their revenue stream as consumers flocked to digital channels, and they had to do it with a smaller team... . --- ### How SAP Emarsys Powered a Digital-First Black Friday for Leading Retailers > Black Friday 2020 was unlike any other Black Friday before.

The rush to the shops and the delight in finding that one thing you really wanted before it left the shelves didn’t happen this year... at least, not in person. With some major US retailers deciding not to open their doors at all over the Thanksgiving weekend and lockdowns still in force across Europe, 2020 was the first ‘digital-first’ Black Friday the world has seen. In fact, Emarsys’s own Vienna data center bandwidth was doubled last week, just to cope with the anticipated demand. With such an influx of consumer activity, how did brands maximize the opportunity to take on new customers and keep them? How has Emarsys provided organizations with the tactics, technologies and tools they needed to encourage customer engagement, retention and loyalty? Looking at Emarsys platform usage data from the week running up to Black Friday and including the big day itself, there are three key things we can take away: 1. Agility and Personalization Are on the Rise According to data from the Emarsys platform, retailers sought to be more agile and personalized in their digital campaigns this Black Friday, Real-time event triggers (digital campaign triggers based on individual customer behavior) were up a staggering 177% to 189 million, while segment executions (campaigns aimed at different audience segments) were up to by 29% to 14. 6 million. These brands were effectively looking to target their customers with the right messages at the right time through... --- ### What You Must Know about Zero-Party Data and Major Changes to Facebook Ads & Third-party Cookies > here are three different types of data marketers can access: zero-party, first-party, second-party, and third-party.

In fact, many who’ve adopted this marketing method have found great success, especially during the pandemic.   Let’s take a look at the different types of data and how dynamic data points can be used to connect with customers.   Data Differences: Zero, First, Second, and Third  There are four major types of data that marketers can leverage in order to connect with customers:  Zero-party data: this information is a more detailed version of first-party data and addresses such things as communication preferences (for example, a customer stating they’d like to receive a weekly newsletter).  First-party data: this is your own data – customers’ purchases, interactions on your site, within your app, email CTR, and more. Second-party data: this is data that was another company’s first-party data that they’ve either sold or shared. Third-party data: this is data from outside your organization and typically collected by web cookie tracking from multiple sources such as browsing and advertising. The Data Needed to Connect with Customers What would happen if customers were willing to give you information to gain a more personalized service? Because of the information they share with you, customers may feel more as if they were in your store rather than shopping online.  ... --- ### Why Moving to First-Party Data Now Will Give Your Brand a Competitive Advantage > Learn why increased regulations in customer data protection presents an opportunity for marketers to turn their use of first-party customer data into a competitive advantage through better customer experiences. - Published: 2020-11-19 - Modified: 2021-05-03 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/why-moving-to-first-party-data-now-will-give-your-brand-a-competitive-advantage/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: customer data, data privacy, first party data - Translation Priorities: Optional In case you haven’t heard — or if you’re immune to the virality of digital marketing’s latest hot topics — Apple’s recently released iOS 14 includes a whole host of privacy controls and the capacity to “limit how much of personal data is shared with companies” (Forbes. com), notably with “opt-in for IDFA,” set to be switched on in 2021.    Although it’s arguably a striking blow to advertisers, data privacy is simply part of the changing tide of stricter regulation that we’ve seen over the past few years, notably with GDPR in Europe, CCPA in the US, PDPA in Singapore, and more. Google’s announcement this year that third-party cookies (and therefore pixel tracking) will be eliminated by 2022 adds another element to the narrative. What does this mean for your brand? In order to better understand and serve your customers while driving business outcomes, you’ll want to move away from third-party data, and focus on first-party data. Actually, strike that — it’s not that you’ll “want” to move away. You’ll have to.   The good news is, the brands who’ve already embraced the move toward acquiring, storing, and utilizing first-party data for marketing have not only been able to build more compelling customer journeys and deliver better customer experiences, but they’ve also asserted a distinct competitive advantage over their competitors who have not fully leveraged and taken control of their first-party data.   Fully leveraging first-party data gives you a competitive advantage Until now, most brands primarily relied on third-party data... --- ### A Guide to Email Marketing Automation: Definition, Tools, and Strategy > Email marketing automation is a strategy that allows marketers to send triggered, timed, and personalized emails to their subscribers when specific conditions are met. Explore tools, strategy tips, and more. - Published: 2020-11-11 - Modified: 2023-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/email-marketing-automation/ - Categories: Guides - Tags: omnichannel, omnichannel customer engagement, omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional After all these years, email remains an effective method for businesses to reach their target audiences. There are approximately 4. 03 billion people that use email today, and that number is expected to grow as high as 4. 6 billion users by 2025. For that reason alone, businesses should begin developing quality email marketing strategies and investing in email automation technology to amplify results. Email marketing automation is not a new trend, but it is a growing one. With email automation, marketers can send highly personalized emails to customers – ensuring the brand is catering to consumer needs, behaviors, and preferences by sending the right message at the right time – without the need for manual intervention. In this post, we will discuss what email marketing automation is, the benefits of automating emails, best practices, and more. What is Email Marketing Automation? Email marketing automation is the process of sending time- or action-triggered emails to customers using automation technology. Some examples include sending automated welcome emails when a customer signs up for an account, reminder emails when a visitor abandons their cart, or other product recommendation emails after a customer has bought an item from a website. Essentially, email automation takes the tedious tasks away from your email marketing to-do list, enabling you to focus your time and attention on value-added endeavors.   In addition, combining email automation and customer analytics can empower you to refine your targeting strategy – enabling you to target users based on behaviors, preferences, and previous purchases.

Hear from leading brands about how they’re increasing engagement. - Published: 2020-11-09 - Modified: 2023-11-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/actionable-use-cases-of-how-u-s-retailers-are-making-the-digital-shift/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: retail, retail e-commerce - Translation Priorities: Optional Digital shift. New normal. Changes in customer behavior. These sound like buzzwords until you look into use cases from leading retail brands over the last year. There may not be a “new normal” since normal continues to evolve, but there are actionable strategies that any retailer can leverage right now to meet customers in the channels they’ve chosen to shop through. Hear what guests from our recent Retail Renaissance event have to say about how successful retailers are adapting to the consumer shift to online. Personalization Runs on First-Party Data The key to engaging customers is personalization, and that demands good data. With a unified profile for every customer, brands can truly send the right offer at the right time to the most receptive customers. Omnichannel Targeting When retailers gather first-party data and build a single-view profile for each customer, those brands are ready to engage customers on any channel, mobile, web, social media, and yes, even in-store. Competing on Customer Experience All through the pandemic, we’ve seen discounts and pricing play a lesser role in how consumers determine which products they’ll buy. With the massive migration to online, the customer experience is the new arena where brands compete and where detailed customer data and an omnichannel presence come together to deliver the ultimate shopping experience, leading to increased CLTV, AOV, and loyalty.   Analytics Prove What Works The final part of retail customer engagement is analyzing the performance of your automated campaigns and then optimizing and fortifying your strategies. Without... --- ### What is Benchmarketing? > Uncover the meaning and value of 'benchmarketing,' a strategy blending benchmarking and marketing to optimize your business's marketing decisions for success. - Published: 2020-11-06 - Modified: 2024-11-07 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/what-is-benchmarketing-2/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Now, brands know that customer engagement happens in-store and online -- wherever, whenever, and however the customer chooses. It’s marketing’s responsibility to help increase growth and revenue by engaging customers and delivering true 1:1 personalized experiences across any and all channels.   In other words, it’s marketing’s job to improve the bottom-line for the business using omnichannel marketing.   Some marketers may say, “easier said than done,” and they may have a list of pain points that prevent them from rising to the challenge and driving business results. However, the most successful brand marketers would beg to differ.   In this quick guide, we’ll look at 5 common challenges that marketers face, and how some of today’s leading brand marketers have solved them.   #1. “How can I deliver the right message, at the right time, to the right customer? ” Today, sending the same one-size-fits-all message across every channel at the same time is easy. Some of the most basic tech stacks can accommodate this. But a one-to-many approach is not nearly as effective as delivering a personalized 1:1 message to a customer on the channel they prefer, and at the moment when it could make the most impact. So how do you deliver the right message, at the right time, to the right customer? Solution: Unify all your data into a single source within your customer engagement platform. Bringing all your data into one single... --- ### It’s Official! SAP Emarsys Is Now Part of the SAP Family > SAP Emarsys officially joins SAP as part of the SAP Customer Experience portfolio.

For all of us at Emarsys, this is a very special day. We couldn’t have done it without the hard work and dedication of the entire Emarsys team, as well as our incredible clients and partners.   Although it’s a moment to celebrate and be excited for what’s to come, it’s also an important opportunity to reflect on where we started, where we are today, and where we will be in the future. Where We Started I recently celebrated my 10-year anniversary at Emarsys. During this time, technology has certainly advanced, and the landscape of our dynamic industry has gone through incredible change. Over the years, I’ve seen companies have great success, some that have simply come and gone, and others that have evolved into something completely new. But I noticed a consistent theme in the companies that have lasted and made their mark: they always have a strong vision and company culture.    Since the day our company was founded by Josef Ahorner, Hagai Hartman, and Daniel Harari in Vienna, Austria, we’ve had a pure vision, which is to enable brands to deliver personalized and consistent interactions across all channels that drive measurable outcome quickly, while keeping an unwavering commitment to our clients’ success. We’ve been able to achieve this through innovation in digital marketing and a dedication to helping clients deliver the best customer experiences possible. Moreover, we’ve always sought out the best and brightest talent, individuals... --- ### 10 Retailers Share Tips & Tactics for Retail Success in 2021 > The future of retail marketing, customer engagement, and omnichannel commerce is poised for big change.

It’s as if 2020 marked some kind of major transition point after which the fabric of retail, online commerce, and brand marketing itself will have forever shifted. We’ve all heard the rumblings — about machine learning, AI, VR/AR, IoT, chatbots, digital assistants and more — but we wanted to know what a global panel of in-the-weeds retail leaders foresee for 2021 based on the more recent pandemic... real talk, no gimmicks. Here’s 10 examples of how industry leaders have been evolving, innovating, and continuing to find new ways to drive revenue. 5 Marketers on How to Level Up and Regain Lost Revenue into 2021 from Dakota Davis Where is Customer Engagement Going?

And although the premonition has come true, and having the right marketing technology is essential, the conversation is old news — most marketers already know this and have made great inroads in incorporating martech solutions within all aspects of their outreach to achieve omnichannel marketing success. However, the top-performing marketers, and the brands with the greatest success, have already seen the next “big thing” in marketing: data. Data is the new oil. It is a powerful fuel that drives your most important, impactful, and revenue-generating marketing efforts, particularly when it comes to omnichannel marketing and delivering the 1:1 personalized experiences customers demand and deserve. But none of this happens until you organize, unify, and centralize your data in a way that allows it to be fully utilized.     During our Retail Renaissance, we heard from global brand leaders and industry experts as they discussed how marketers can leverage data and break down data silos to achieve omnichannel success and accelerate outcomes for their business.   Here are five key takeaways we learned: 1. It Starts With “Connecting the Dots” For Total Tools, one of the biggest hurdles they faced in connecting with their customers and achieving the business results they needed was dealing with all of their siloed channel data.   Once they put all of their data into a single, centralized location, they were able to coordinate better communication with customers,... --- ### Retailers Engage More Customers by Simplifying Marketing Automation Across All Channels > Automation is the best tangible way for retailers to engage a large number of customers through whatever channel they prefer and simplifies a brand’s ability to serve customers online and in-store no matter what is happening in the world. - Published: 2020-10-14 - Modified: 2021-05-03 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/retailers-engage-more-customers-by-simplifying-marketing-automation-across-all-channels/ - Categories: Customer Stories, General - Tags: growing active customers, personalization, retail e-commerce - Translation Priorities: Optional Retail is seeing some of the widest changes in commerce ever, and while some brands have been hit with severe declines in brick-and-mortar traffic, many retailers are hanging in there by reinventing their customer experience to leverage the best of in-store and online data. Collecting data and identifying customers across today’s spectrum of channels is no small feat. The more complicated our world becomes, the more critical automation is for engaging customers across every channel they prefer and personalizing the way a brand speaks to the individual. But let’s hear what the experts have to say. Collect and Analyze Data to Fuel Automation Cross-channel identification of customers is one of the most important capabilities a retailer can have right now. Not only does it help brands match up customer data to build a complete profile (for personalization), but customer identification also saves money lost on reacquiring the same customer over and over whether in-store or online. Data and the Single Customer View The first-party data you collect is your most valuable asset because of all the ways it allows you to know the individual shopper. Feed Data into Your Growth Strategies Once you plug your data into your strategies and tactics, you can then glean the insights you need to expand your database and target more customers across more channels. Now with data-rich automations that drive your strategies, you can use customer insights to optimize active customer growth based on past behavior and new trends emerging in real time. AI-Driven... --- ### Retailers Looking for the Discount Sweet Spot This Black Friday > Black Friday and Cyber Week have historically been the season of deals, but retailers should be wary of how deep those discounts are this year as the pandemic continues to impact how consumers shop. - Published: 2020-10-07 - Modified: 2020-11-18 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/retailers-looking-for-the-discount-sweet-spot-this-black-friday/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: discount, incentive, margins - Translation Priorities: Optional You don’t need a crystal ball to foretell a few things about Black Friday and Cyber Week 2020. #1) It will be unlike any shopping season we’ve seen before. (Walmart Plus launched on September 15th, ahead of the October 13th Amazon Prime Day kickoff. Target is now countering Amazon with its own Deal Days starting the same day). #2) In-store traffic will be different. (For example, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target will not be open on Thanksgiving Day 2020, and all will be leveraging curbside pickup and delivery. ) #3) Online sales will rise even more than they had pre-pandemic. (Last year, there was around a 20% uplift in online traffic as consumers spent $12 billion. ) What is uncertain is how changes in customer behavior will impact a brand’s incentive strategy. To ensure you don’t cannibalize your margins, a holiday incentive plan needs to carefully determine how much you’ll mark off each product, when you’ll mark it down, if you’ll cut it even deeper after a period of time, and most importantly, will your incentives still drive year-end profits? What is the Goldilocksian “just right” discount for Black Friday 2020? Black Friday Has Historically Been a Time to Acquire Customers Some business owners would say that no matter your discount strategy, deep incentives assault your bottom line — and can force you to sell a lot more volume to make up for the discounts. But if you’re focused on acquisition, discounts are actually a pretty reliable way to get new customers into... --- ### Why First-Party Data is the Holy Grail in a Cookie-Less World > Forward-thinking marketers across the world are using first-party data as cookie-based tracking is on the way out. Read more. - Published: 2020-09-21 - Modified: 2021-07-02 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/first-party-data-cookieless-world/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Translation Priorities: Optional In part I of this series, we explained why cookies have traditionally been important for online advertising, and how the entire online ecosystem is basically reliant upon them. This article explores the application of first-party data and the value of retention across the lifecycle. Since cookies will be going away into 2021-22 as data concerns mount, brands need to find other means by which customer identification, customer identity management, and nurturing can happen. Enter: permission marketing, first-party data, and totally futureproof server-to-server integrations built with an omnichannel customer engagement platform. Online commerce is at the precipice of a new dawn — spurred by tracking concerns and new data privacy legislation across the world. New privacy laws and browser restrictions are also diminishing the precision and measurability of digital advertising while cluttering web experience with burdensome consent notices. Forward-thinking marketers across the world are beginning to consider alternatives to cookie-based tracking and disruptive web messages. The online ad space has become saturated with more data, more tracking, and more content. As described in PT I, cookies are everywhere. Cookies follow users around the web and track their every move. Most sites have thousands. Even those using only first-party cookies aren’t really operating in a vacuum because, as we explained, cookies are connected... all of them. The Internet is a web, a giant connected neural network where it seems like we’re all just chomping at the bit, quietly clawing to identify, hunt down, and capture unsuspecting consumers. Okay, that may be a... --- ### What’s at Stake for Businesses in 2021 as Customer Identification & Online Tracking Shifts > As consumers clamor for greater ad transparency and control over personal data, advertisers need new ways to do better targeting armed with less. - Published: 2020-09-17 - Modified: 2021-05-03 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/customer-identification/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Translation Priorities: Optional As consumers clamor for greater ad transparency and control over how their personal data will be used, advertisers need new ways to do better targeting armed with less. The digital advertising space has officially been flipped upside down. Over the past 27 months, we’ve seen new regulations like GDPR (May 2018), the California Consumer Privacy Act (January 2020), and, most recently, Apple’s announcement of “opt-in for IDFA” (June 2020, will go into effect in September) redefine online identification, ad attribution, and customer matching across the globe. As consumers clamor for greater ad transparency and control over how their personal data will be used, advertisers need new ways to do better targeting armed with less. As the latest  Gartner Hype Cycle for Digital Advertising, 2020 put it, “Consumer brands face a growing trust crisis that threatens profitability and depletes brand value. As privacy regulations force brands to obtain advance consent for each instance of personal data processing, the risk of habitual declines threatens to deprive marketers of their ability to offer personalized services and anticipate customer needs based on observed behavior. ” Now Google is getting into the mix. Earlier this summer, the data giant announced that third party cookies – and thus pixel tracking – will be phased out by 2022. For brands that are reliant on the Google ad network, this could spell trouble. Google’s display network reaches 90% of internet users worldwide. So advertising on websites, news pages, blogs, Gmail, and YouTube, will all be affected. But the implications are more far-reaching than that alone. How Online Advertising Has Functioned The barrier of entry to start running online ads is the lowest it's ever been, as Google... --- ### Retail Adapts to the Digital Shift with Data-Driven In-Store Experiences > Retail is still adapting to lower in-store traffic and changes in purchasing behavior, but by leveraging customer data, a brand can raise their in-store experience to keep engaging customers - Published: 2020-09-15 - Modified: 2021-03-19 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/retail-adapts-to-the-digital-shift-with-data-driven-in-store-experiences/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: e-commerce growth, retail e-commerce - Translation Priorities: Optional Retailers are still adapting to the economic fallout of the pandemic, paying especially close attention to how they can migrate parts of their in-store experience to online engagement. But that doesn’t mean the in-store experience is over with. While foot traffic may be down, consumers still want to purchase from retailers that they traditionally purchased from in-store. The challenge is to both meet COVID-19 best practices and deliver an experience that engages customers, rather than an experience that customers barely tolerate. So what can retailers do to serve customers online and reinvigorate in-store shopping at the same time? Quite a lot if you leverage technology and an e-commerce platform built to capture customer data respectfully. Identify Customers In-Store Everything a retailer wants to do begins with data and, more specifically, customer identification in-store. For many years, brands spent a lot of time and money on creating and maintaining customer profiles, often acquiring the same customer both online and in-store. Clearly, being able to identify an existing customer in-store saves a brand time and budget, but it also improves the customer experience when the retailer already knows who the customer is, what she’s likely to purchase, and the specific channel she prefers. Cue Clothing Co. Australian retailer Cue Clothing had an e-commerce platform in place before the pandemic, but the consumer shift to digital demanded that retailers quickly merge online and offline data to keep customers engaged online. With 85% of their revenue generated in-store, the brand had to move nimbly... --- ### Top 20 Black Friday Retail Trends for 2020 > Black Friday is almost here.

This yearly Black Friday fighting is a US ritual. For those in other countries with a more civil approach to Black Friday, we applaud you. Image credit: NBC Instead of trends this year normally seen in news highlights, such as customers ripping the door off a mall, or stampeding one another, or a hysterical person falling into the arms of store managers because the item she wanted wasn’t available... the pandemic has changed all this.   New retail trends are emerging for Black Friday 2020, and we've brought the top 20 trends to you.   The Numbers from 2019 Last year, Black Friday shoppers spent $7. 4 billion online – a $1. 2 billion increase over the previous year. And 61% of all online retail transactions last year were from smartphones (a 16% increase over 2018). As for Cyber Monday 2019, customers spent $9. 4 billion online – a 20% increase from 2018. Mobile transactions accounted for $3. 1 billion in sales, a 46% increase over the previous year.   Based on these stats alone, there is hope for retailers who have a great e-commerce presence. In fact, more customers in the US shopped online during Thanksgiving weekend (probably full of turkey and stuffing) than in a physical store.   What’s New for 2020?      Because of the coronavirus, many stores allow only a certain number of customers inside at a time.   To maintain their own safety, customers who would normally... --- ### 4 Things That Aren’t Personalization > The Gartner 2020 Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines report has named SAP Emarsys a leader in personalization. Find out what Ohad Hecht, CEO at SAP Emarsys, believes such recognition means for marketers everywhere. - Published: 2020-08-05 - Modified: 2020-08-05 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/4-things-that-arent-personalization/ - Categories: General, Thought Leadership - Tags: customer-centric personalization, personalization data - Translation Priorities: Optional In a world where a big part of the Earth’s population changed their shopping behavior to online-only pretty much overnight, well-prepared brands with strong digital footprints were the true winners of this surge in volume of new customers. But since everyone is welcome to this online party, many companies have had to invest (and are still investing) massive resources to make their products available online in order to compete digitally. Fortunately for consumers, this trend means more choice and better prices. For the brands that want to win the consumers’ hearts and build long-term loyalty, the only way to do so is by getting to know your customers, by being able to treat them differently, and by doing it better than the competition — online. This is called personalization. I believe there are still a lot of misconceptions about what is and isn’t personalization, and on the back of being named a leader in the Gartner 2020 Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines report, I want to clearly define what personalization is, and what you, the marketer, should look for beyond the buzzwords. Yes, we’re a leader in this report, and yes, I am very proud and honored to be there, but this post isn’t a victory lap; this is purely educational. So let’s start. Data Richness When it comes to data for personalization, it isn’t about first name, last name, your city, or even being able to identify your customer on the website or in the app in real time... . --- ### Here’s Why Customer Loyalty Is More Valuable Now Than Ever > Despite the pandemic-driven shift to digital, brand loyalty remains just as important as pre-COVID-19... but loyalty might even be more important now. - Published: 2020-07-30 - Modified: 2021-01-21 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/heres-why-customer-loyalty-is-more-valuable-now-than-ever/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Translation Priorities: Optional In the era of COVID, things are different. I’m greeted on a first-name basis by my local coffee shop barista. Is this because there are fewer customers allowed in the shop? Maybe, but it feels genuine. This past week my barber sent me a text at 8 am, apologizing that he’d have to reschedule my appointment, which was still two days away. I’d never received a text from him before, and I was able to reschedule for the next day. A restaurateur once told me life would be more connected in the near future, and patrons would be known on a first-name basis, similar to how the local butcher of long ago greeted customers by their first names. Now, more than ever, customer loyalty is vital. Some places do it well, in-store and online. Others have yet to roll out a program, even though millions of people buy their products and services every year. Loyalty Programs During COVID Companies are taking notice and either implementing loyalty programs or improving them. Many small businesses, at least the ones I visit, have rolled out loyalty programs. I save money, they understand my preferences, and better cater products and services to me and other customers. Below you’ll discover how companies are starting or adjusting their loyalty programs. Starbucks Although Starbucks has an excellent loyalty mobile app, where customers accrue points to use for a multitude of options, the brand is introducing an even easier way to pay. In the past, members had to... --- ### 3 Marketing Technology Must-Haves for Better Personalization > Learn the 3 features your customer engagement platform must have in order to deliver personalized, omnichannel customer experiences. - Published: 2020-07-28 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/3-marketing-technology-must-haves-for-better-personalization/ - Categories: How to - Tags: marketing technology, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional In a perfect world, communicating with your customers would be like communicating with your best friend. You’d know their history. You’d know what they like and dislike. You’d know when, where, and how to reach them. You could send more meaningful, resonant messages that they were excited to receive. In other words, true 1:1 personalization would be the norm. Unfortunately, that’s not the reality for marketers just yet. The truth: You may never be able to communicate with each and every customer on a “best friend” level. It would require lots of time and information — and besides, how would you scale that? But there is good news: You can actually get remarkably close to achieving this. By using the tech-powered personalization capabilities found in some of today’s customer engagement platforms, you can actually deliver true 1:1 personalization that is meaningful and relevant for your customers... and you can do it at scale. Here’s 3 features your customer engagement platform must have if you want to deliver true 1:1 personalized customer experiences. 1. Fully-Integrated CDP True 1:1 omnichannel personalization requires a customer-centric approach to marketing. At the core of that approach is your data. But the problem is, many organizations have their data scattered, often sitting outside their customer engagement platform, or siloed within their organization. These silos make customer-centricity near impossible. This isn’t a surprise to most marketers. According to eMarketer, nearly 50% of marketers in North America said that “centralizing ownership of data would be one of the... --- ### How PUMA Remained Relevant to Customers During the Ever-Changing Pandemic > Learn how PUMA adjusted their marketing and outreach to connect with customers during the pandemic. - Published: 2020-07-23 - Modified: 2024-01-04 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-puma-remained-relevant-to-customers-during-the-ever-changing-pandemic/ - Categories: Innovative Perspectives - Tags: COVID-19, e-commerce growth - Translation Priorities: Optional During the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, PUMA did some amazing things to connect with customers and remain engaged. Even though many gyms were, and still are closed, loyal customers continued purchasing athletic leisure from the brand. Alex Timlin (SVP Verticals, Emarsys) spoke with Rick Almeida (VP of Ecommerce, PUMA) to share with you: The channels PUMA leveraged to shift its engagement strategy. The importance of remaining agile and nimble in uncertain times. Why it’s important to understand the continually changing consumer sentiment How to market and continue to communicate even in times of uncertainty. Read on to discover how PUMA was able to quickly adjust to bring value to their fans and customers.     How to Remain Agile and Nimble When Everything Is Changing How to Pivot Customer Communications and Engagement Why Loyal Customers and Influencers Can Help You Why Customer-Centric Marketing Efforts Work Final Thoughts Staying relevant in the midst of turmoil and uncertainty is paramount. For example, there were numerous times during this pandemic that store hours would vary for the various retail locations I would visit. Many times I arrived as the doors were closing. This made for negative customer experience as the company could have simply sent out a message regarding the revised store hours. There are numerous adjustments your company can make, like PUMA, to stay relevant to customers. Keeping customers informed is a great place to start. --- ### 3 Rules for Getting the Customer Data Your Brand Needs for Better Personalization > To drive revenue and retain more customers using personalization, you need quality customer data. Learn the 3 rules for getting great data from customers. - Published: 2020-07-21 - Modified: 2022-03-29 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/3-rules-for-getting-the-customer-data-your-brand-needs-for-better-personalization/ - Categories: How to - Tags: customer data, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional A few days ago, I had what could only be described as a supernatural experience. It just so happens I was in the market for a new lamp, and was perusing a major retailer’s online website. I checked a few options, and although one arc lamp in particular caught my eye, I wasn’t ready to make a purchase. I closed my browser. Days later, I “mysteriously” received an email from that same retailer. Turns out, select lamps are on sale. And that arc lamp I had my eye on — “coincidentally” the feature image in the email — was now 20% off. Even crazier: The email arrived on a Saturday, which is the day I usually open promotional emails to look for deals (and most likely to purchase). This random series of connections seemed all too convenient — the right product, the right email address, at the right time. Was it a sign from the universe that I should buy that lamp? Was I the target of a clairvoyant marketing team? Or: Was I on the receiving end of a truly personalized experience, based on quality data? The (Not So) Secret Ingredient of True, 1:1 Personalization Nearly every retail or e-commerce brand is currently using some form of personalization in their marketing, or has experimented with it in the past. As a practice, personalization is ubiquitous. But the degree of personalization offered differs from brand to brand, and not all organizations stick with it. In fact, Gartner predicts that, by... --- ### Reduce Indiscriminate Discounts, Drive Repeat Purchases, and Increase Customer Lifetime Value with Loyalty > Learn how brands can reduce indiscriminate discounts, drive repeat purchases and increase customer lifetime value through customer loyalty. - Published: 2020-07-02 - Modified: 2023-10-24 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/reduce-indiscriminate-discounts-drive-repeat-purchases-and-increase-customer-lifetime-value-with-loyalty/ - Categories: How to - Tags: customer lifetime value, customer loyalty - Translation Priorities: Optional The impact of COVID-19 across all commerce was severe. But one positive trend that emerged during this difficult time was growth in, specifically, e-commerce and online retail. For many brands, this growth meant an abundance of new customers and first-time buyers. However, a growing customer base comes with inherent challenges: How do you ensure these first-time buyers become active customers? And how do you increase your share of loyal customers without heavy discounting that erodes your margins? The answer lies in loyalty. New customers, same challenges When the majority of stores closed during the pandemic, it caused a radical shift. Consumers, whether they were ready or not, were forced to embrace digital. As a result, your brand has probably experienced an increase in customer growth. With a larger pool of consumers willing to engage on digital channels because of the pandemic, any digital strategies you have in place should yield more substantial results. But even with this increase in new customers, the challenge you face as a marketer now is the same challenge you faced pre-pandemic. You need to lead first-time buyers further along their customer journey, you need to drive repeat purchases, and you need to build trusted, loyal, and lasting relationships with customers that lead to greater CLTV. All of that sounds reasonable, except some of the marketing efforts required to face these challenges — such as discount-based incentives — can come at the expense of profitability. This puts you in a precarious position: You want to accelerate... --- ### 3 Ways Small Businesses Are Regaining Lost Sales from COVID-19 > In the midst of the worst economic downturn of our lifetime, marketers who shift their mindset and begin thinking like a consumer stand a competitive edge. - Published: 2020-07-01 - Modified: 2020-07-29 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/think-like-consumers/ - Categories: How to - Tags: COVID-19, online shopping - Translation Priorities: Optional In the midst of the worst economic downturn of our lifetime, marketers who shift their mindset and begin thinking like a consumer stand a competitive edge. If we marketers thought it was tough connecting with consumers before the Coronavirus pandemic, we’re in for a real surprise in its wake. No brand has gone unscathed nor has the consumer market. 100,000 businesses across the U. S. have closed their doors permanently as a result of the pandemic, a staggering number by any standard. Everything and everyone is now emerging from its wrath. As tectonic plates shift beneath our feet, change is just about the only thing we can be sure of in this current climate. However, where there’s destruction, there’s also opportunity. There are three big retail trends emerging in the wake of COVID-19 that you can hop on: Consumers have been forced to find — and will stick to — the easiest, quickest, most efficient method of buying... and as of late, that means online. Consumer behavior may forever be altered in more profound ways than we’ve ever seen in terms of expectations and standards. With so many small businesses closed for good, there will be less competition in most large markets and consumer choice may be reduced. Right now, for better or worse, it’s a sort of survival of the fittest as the elimination of many small businesses continues to rock middle America. So what does it take to survive? Just as in nature, surviving this latest period of turmoil will require adaptation and acclimation to a new selling environment entirely. Creating relationships and loyalty among this new breed of buyers means thinking like the people who put... --- ### How Two-Way Communication Leads to the 1:1 Personalization Your Customers (and Your Brand) Truly Want > Learn how your brand can deliver more 1:1 personalized experiences with a conversational approach to personalization that leads to better business outcomes. - Published: 2020-06-17 - Modified: 2023-04-11 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-two-way-communication-leads-to-better-personalized-marketing-for-your-customers-and-brand/ - Categories: How to - Tags: omnichannel marketing, personalized marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Nearly every part of your marketing strategy will involve some sort of personalization. At least, it should, because personalization is now a customer expectation. According to Forbes, “83% of consumers expect products to be personalized within moments or hours” of engagement. While the statistic proves there is a strong consumer appetite for personalization, it fails to answer the question: What does good personalization look like? As you begin to fully embrace personalization as an integral part of your omnichannel marketing strategy, you’ll discover that personalization works best when it’s framed as a conversation with customers, not just a one-way marketing endeavor. Personalization Has Evolved Personalization has come a long way. It’s well past customizing salutations with a first name in a batch-and-blast email. It has gone beyond a one-size-fits-all happy birthday mailer sent to customers. Now, it’s about truly connecting with and understanding your customers’ tastes and preferences. Humans have evolved as social creatures. We’ve developed social-cognitive skills where we thrive by “communicating with others, learning from others, and ‘reading the mind’ of others in complex ways. ” To do so feels, well, more human. As a marketer, the conversation between you (as the brand) and your customers should work the same way. You want to communicate with your customer to learn more about them, so you can better anticipate or relate to their needs. Your personalization efforts should help facilitate this type of conversation. For example, notice a customer abandoned their purchase? Ask them about it, don’t just nudge them... --- ### SAP Emarsys Summer Release 2020 Helps Marketers Accelerate Time to Value > Discover how revenue attribution shortens time to value and demonstrates the impact marketers have on the bottom line, letting you know for sure which campaigns work and which are not profitable. - Published: 2020-06-10 - Modified: 2025-02-21 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/emarsys-summer-release-2020-helps-marketers-accelerate-time-to-value/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional At Emarsys, we know how valuable every marketer’s contribution is. That’s why we gathered industry-specific knowledge over the last two decades to define strategies and tactics that work – and work quickly.

Our release features require no additional IT support and allow you to track revenue impact throughout the entire platform. Let’s take a look at what you can do now using a unified CDP to scale automation and track revenue growth. Marketers Doing More with Less Brands and their marketing teams operate in a world that has irrevocably changed. Even before the pandemic began, marketers were arguing for consolidated technology, actionable data, and analytics to do their jobs well.   Marketing Beyond Business As Usual In many cases today, marketers are asked to do... --- ### Creating Trust with Customers Through Real-Time Interactions > It has been said that people buy from people they trust, but when that interaction is online, how can your brand help to create trust and create loyal customers? - Published: 2020-06-03 - Modified: 2020-11-17 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/creating-trust-with-customers-through-real-time-interactions/ - Categories: How to - Tags: content personalization, customer loyalty, personalization, website personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional You’ve seen it before. You make an online purchase and the company sends you irrelevant batch-and-blast emails. For example, you buy a pair of men’s jeans, but you get emails for blouses... and this continues to occur. You lose trust in the brand. You feel they don’t know you. Their unrelated ads follow you on Facebook and Google. You may unsubscribe and switch to the competition because the company treated you like another order and not a valued customer with whom they desire a mutual relationship. This isn’t new as “93% of consumers report receiving marketing communications that are not relevant to them. ” Personalization and Your Marketing Tech Stack As a marketer, attempting to create 1:1 personalized messages across all channels can be difficult as you may have limited resources. Like most companies, your organization may have a marketing technology stack that consists of data spread across multiple silos. In fact, 82% of sales and marketing professionals say that by switching between marketing tools, they lose up to an hour a day. You may rely on other internal departments and teams to collect and organize all the data so you can make the best choices in your marketing campaigns and other initiatives. With all this information, spread across multiple tech stacks, it may take too long to segment and personalize this data for multiple channels. Many times a delay in organizing all your data can lead to a lost sale. For example, say a visitor to your site added a shirt to their cart... --- ### Attribution: The Missing Link Between Marketing Performance and Business Results > To engage more customers, improve budget allocation, and accelerate business outcomes, marketers must have visibility into revenue attribution. Learn why. - Published: 2020-05-28 - Modified: 2023-10-25 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/revenue-attribution-is-the-missing-link-between-marketing-performance-and-business-results/ - Categories: How to - Tags: business outcomes, omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Modern marketing technology has enabled marketers to deploy an array of campaigns and programs with ease, allowing them to reach new and existing customers across multiple channels and devices. The problem is, with so many campaigns in play targeting various segments of customers online and offline, it can muddy the waters of attribution. Trying to figure out exactly which campaigns, segments, or channels are helping move the needle in terms of revenue becomes quite complex. Your customer engagement platform’s capabilities may enable you to execute whatever campaigns your ambitious marketer heart desires, but without attribution, how do you know which marketing efforts are most effective at driving revenue? Which result-bearing areas deserve more budget allocation? Which losing initiatives should be de-prioritized or dropped altogether? And most importantly — which parts of marketing are producing business outcomes for the company? To answer these questions, you need to have greater visibility into marketing’s day-to-day impact on revenue. Putting Marketing’s Impact on Revenue Front and Center To track performance and business impact, most marketers employ some form of attribution, in addition to looking at more strategic KPIs. According to Google, “76% of all marketers say they currently have, or will have in the next 12 months, the capability to use marketing attribution,” with many already using Google Analytics or a similar provider. But often these sources for attribution are not front and center for the marketer. Higher-level analytics and data may be housed in different silos across the organization or inaccessible to most... --- ### How Frasers Group Has Been Agile and Rapidly Adapted to Shifts in Consumer Behavior > Despite working with a leaner e-commerce team, Frasers Group has made the shift to digital in large part due to their customer engagement platform. - Published: 2020-05-22 - Modified: 2022-03-18 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-frasers-group-has-been-agile-and-rapidly-adapted-to-shifts-in-consumer-behavior/ - Categories: General, How-to Artikel - Tags: shift to digital, shift to e-commerce - Translation Priorities: Optional Compared to pure-play brands, classic retail has been devastated by the economic fallout of COVID-19. Brands who have been slow to build digital channels are having a terrible time now. J. Crew recently declared bankruptcy. Burlington, Dollar Tree, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls have all shunned e-commerce and are now paying the price. But even retailers who have invested in online are facing challenges they never thought they’d see. E-commerce is vital not just for growth; it’s the only way to survive the economic downturn of a global pandemic. Frasers Group, a £4 billion company in the UK, has traditionally counted on in-store shopping to bring in most of their revenue. That model has now been turned upside down by COVID-19. So how is the brand coping? Brick-and-Mortars Hit the Hardest Once pandemic restrictions went into effect, Frasers Group took the first hit and closed their brick-and-mortars. With the majority of their revenue coming from stores, this put the brand in a vulnerable place. The brand had to quickly reevaluate staffing and consequently furloughed many employees. They not only lost their main revenue stream, but they also had to seek out new streams with a smaller team. Yet Online Revenue Is Growing Like many businesses at the moment, Frasers Group has encountered a big increase in online purchasing, and they’ve been able to manage the influx because the brand was well prepared for a digital shift in consumer behavior. Thomas Tregelles, Group Head of E-Commerce for Sports Direct, describes how Frasers... --- ### Reopening Retail: How Cue Clothing Co. Has Prepared for Retail in a Post-Pandemic World > Learn how Cue Clothing Co. embraced the shift to digital and accelerated business outcomes during the pandemic by delivering a seamless customer experience. - Published: 2020-05-14 - Modified: 2023-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/reopening-retail-how-cue-clothing-co-has-prepared-for-retail-in-a-post-pandemic-world/ - Categories: Actionable Insights - Tags: customer experience, seamless experience - Translation Priorities: Optional Many countries are beginning the slow but careful easing of stay-at-home orders stemming from COVID-19. In response, retail stores are starting to reopen. However, don’t expect business-as-usual. The in-store shopping experience will be quite different, and some customers may now prefer to shop online. There will be a new normal for retail. The question is: How do retail brands find success in this new normal? Cue Clothing Co. — an Australian modern fashion brand — serves as an example of how retailers can accelerate business outcomes in a post-pandemic world by embracing the new normal, and by creating seamless online/offline shopping experiences for true omnichannel customer engagement. Embrace the New Normal for In-Store Experiences In-store shopping has always been a high-contact, high-engagement experience — especially for clothing stores. Between trying on clothes, dress tailoring, or shoe fittings, there could be numerous contacts between customer and employee during an engagement. The contacts need to be reduced to zero. Cue Clothing Co. has made it a point to provide a healthy, safe shopping experience for customers and staff in their reopened stores. They achieve this by enforcing 1. 5 meter distancing, offering hand sanitizer, enacting strict sanitation procedures for dressing rooms, and moving to cashless payments. “The government has outlined... steps and procedures that we need to take to dramatically reduce any chance of infection,” said Justin Levis, Executive Director for Cue Clothing Co. , in a recent interview. “So we're following them very stringently. And now I am feeling so much more comfortable... --- ### Using Data, Marketing Agility, and Omnichannel Personalization to Navigate Trends and Drive Results During COVID-19 > Product trends and consumer behavior are difficult to predict. Learn how brands can respond using data, marketing agility, and omnichannel personalization. - Published: 2020-05-14 - Modified: 2022-04-07 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/using-data-marketing-agility-and-omnichannel-personalization-to-navigate-trends-and-drive-results/ - Categories: How to, How-to Artikel - Tags: customer data, omnichannel marketing, product trends - Translation Priorities: Optional Let’s face it, product trends are difficult to predict. For example, could any of us have predicted the massive surge in toilet paper sales (+190% increase in March) spurred by the onset of COVID-19? Or the skyrocketing sales of tabletop puzzles (+300% increase in March)? No one could’ve predicted these trends, because the pandemic itself was unpredictable. Certainly all retail and e-commerce brands have been impacted by it, and have had to respond to the shifting trends (some positive, some negative) across all sectors. However, some brands have been able to respond better than others. Why? Did they have a crystal ball to help them see into the future? Not likely. Instead, they had the right digital marketing strategy (and technology) in place to enable them to respond accordingly. One of the most important lessons to be learned from COVID-19 is that, although you can’t always predict product trends and consumer tastes, you can position your brand to be agile and personalized enough with its marketing to accommodate changes in demand and remain connected to customers. Brands achieve this through their use of data and analytics, marketing execution, and omnichannel customer engagement. Learning from Data (So You Can Take Action) Marketers are privy to vast amounts of data. But the value in data isn’t in quantity — it’s in how you use it. Brands that know how to learn from their customer, product, and sales data and then act on those learnings will have the most successful business results. Using... --- ### Small Marketing Team Harnesses Personalized Omnichannel Journeys with Shopify Plus and SAP Emarsys > See how a small team was able to create personalized omnichannel journeys with Shopify Plus and SAP Emarsys - Published: 2020-04-22 - Modified: 2025-01-24 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/small-marketing-team-harnesses-shopify-plus-and-emarsys/ - Categories: Customer Stories - Tags: shopify plus - Translation Priorities: Optional As a Shopify Plus customer with a very small marketing team, JOLYN — a woman’s competitive swimwear brand that provides bright and colorful industry-disrupting bathing suits  through their e-commerce store — discovered the Emarsys Certified App for Shopify Plus. Samantha Tedder, Senior Digital Marketing Manager at JOLYN, had this to say after connecting Shopify Plus with Emarsys, “Within a day we had the plugin running, we had the code on our site, and if we were creatively prepared, we probably would have been able to prepare our IP warm-up that same day. ” The process was smooth and seamless and required no requests to their IT team... and zero developer resources. Five years of JOLYN’s data flowed into the Emarsys omnichannel customer engagement platform, and the AI quickly placed customers in categories, such as hot leads, defecting customers, cold leads, and customer lifetime value. With the click of a button, JOLYN deployed pre-built use cases and tactics to create 1:1 omnichannel journeys with personalized content and offers on their product pages, as well as on Instagram, Google, Facebook, and within email and SMS. The team at JOLYN were free to be marketers, and focus on strategy, rather than being dependent on developers or the IT team to launch new use cases. At their fingertips, JOLYN had the power of a much larger, resource-heavy team. All their advanced data was available so they could quickly and easily create highly personalized 1:1 omnichannel journeys for customers and prospects on any channel... all with... --- ### How MECCA Brands Continues Meeting with Customers “Face-to-Face” > Learn how MECCA Brands have adapted to the digital shift and engage their customers online. - Published: 2020-04-14 - Modified: 2020-11-18 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-mecca-brands-continues-meeting-with-customers-face-to-face/ - Categories: Customer Stories - Tags: COVID-19, MECCA - Translation Priorities: Optional The shutdown heard round the world. Retailers, malls, and many businesses deemed non-essential are down for the count. Even though many are shut down, it doesn’t mean they’re out of the picture. In fact, according to a study on Internet Retailing, consumers who typically make over half their purchases online have increased purchases between 25 to 80% since the Coronavirus outbreak. But social distancing has hurt many businesses, especially those in beauty. MECCA, a beauty brand in Australia and New Zealand, provides beauty experts who assist customers to not only look but also feel better about themselves, devised a novel and innovative way to “reach” customers stuck at home. Retaining the Personal Touch Sure, MECCA could have relied solely on online sales with their strong e-commerce presence... but doing so would have removed the personal touch they’re known for. Instead, they created a service where store hosts and specialists can virtually assist customers with an experience similar to what they’d have in-store, all from the comfort of home. Customers can schedule a FaceTime call with a specialist in one of the following virtual services: beauty consultation, skincare lesson, makeup lesson, or fragrance consultation. Donations Show Customers What the Brand Cares About But that’s not all MECCA has done in this pandemic. They packed and donated 500 Beauty Boxes full of MECCA goodies and donated them to the frontline workers in Northern Hospital, a 400-bed hospital in Melbourne, Australia that treats approximately 100,000 patients a year, and probably many more due... --- ### Adapt and Respond: How a Brand’s Responsive Digital Retail Strategy Led to Customer Growth During COVID-19 > See how Adore Beauty has adapted and responded during the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 with a digital strategy that led to customer growth and sales. - Published: 2020-04-14 - Modified: 2020-11-17 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/creating-a-responsive-digital-strategy-for-customer-growth-during-covid19/ - Categories: How to - Tags: COVID-19, marketing strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional During times of economic crisis, an interesting phenomenon occurs — luxury beauty products often see a rise in sales in the form of the “lipstick effect. ” The theory is, in response to a downturned economy, investment in self-enhancement beauty products like lipstick, makeup, and perfume will increase. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic is consistent with other global crises in that it has caused an economic recession throughout the world, this situation is unique because many beauty brands are not experiencing a “lipstick effect. ” Despite this, online retailer Adore Beauty has developed a successful strategy for its business in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Identifying What Customers Need Since the onset of COVID-19, lipstick and lip gloss sales have dropped 24% for Adore Beauty — yet the beauty brand is seeing 3x as many new customers. The reasons for this impressive growth are myriad, though part of it is due to the brand’s ability to remain agile and responsive to the rapidly changing conditions. The company correctly identified what products customers are looking for during this time of need and unrest, and shifted their focus accordingly. "It's very interesting because everybody talks about the lipstick effect but that is not what we see,” Adore Beauty CEO Kate Morris told The Sydney Morning Harold. “We are seeing a big jump in anything hygiene related. People have got the message about washing your hands, we are selling triple the amount of hand wash and hand sanitizer that we were a month ago. " Based... --- ### Time to Value Can Make You Look Like a Marketing Automation Software Hero > Accurately assess the value of your marketing automation software with these easy tips.

You’ll probably sleep under your desk for a week as you sort through the options... and you still won’t have scratched the surface. The BIG question to ask is, how fast do you want this new piece of technology implemented?   Some of the big, well-known cloud marketing tech companies have lengthy implementations, tying up your money, time, and resources for months and months. Years ago I worked for a company that chose a popular piece of marketing software. Our team found out after the ink was dry on the year-long agreement that our marketing team would have to rely on developers to create some of the much-needed campaigns.   This time suck was the reason our company stopped using the software after a month and lost tens of thousands of dollars — it didn’t deliver in the way we were promised. Before you seek out new marketing software, step back and try to understand what is best for your company, the goals you want to achieve, and steer clear of martech that doesn’t talk about time to value. Why Your Software Implementation Time Is Crucial Time to value is all about speed to market. How fast will your new piece of technology be available to free up your marketing team so they can be more strategic, creative, and productive?   Time is money, especially in e-commerce, but time is also the intangible you wrestle with. If you grapple time to... --- ### 3 Ways Google is Redefining AI Application for Consumers > Google is redefining AI application to improve the digital customer experience.

Google’s AI Application in the Consumer Realm Here are a few of the key areas where Google is using intelligent machines to create a better CX. 1.

Translation services was recently moved to Google Brain, putting it under the roof that language and speech recognition reside. Now, these technologies are housed under a deep learning project called Google Neural Machine Translation. Google Voice is growing enormously in popularity, as one-third of American mobile phone and tablet users ask Google questions. Two years ago, the “failure” rate was about 1/4 – today it’s less than 8%, so voice search is becoming increasingly more accurate and therefore more effective. It’s also providing an invaluable database of information: every voice search made is recorded and saved onto Google’s servers so they can better understand how people are searching. If you opt in, these can be included in a repository of clips used to teach... --- ### 3 Ways Google is Redefining AI Application for Brands and Marketers > Google is redefining AI application to improve the digital customer experience.

Here are five steps to creating a successful customer loyalty program. - Published: 2020-03-19 - Modified: 2020-08-22 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/customer-loyalty-infographic/ - Categories: How to - Tags: Brand Loyalty, customer loyalty - Translation Priorities: Optional Google is redefining AI application to improve the digital customer experience. Explore 10 examples of how they’ve transformed artificial intelligence. Most marketers will tell you: customer loyalty is critical. Not only does it lead to increased brand growth, but when it comes to enabling 1:1 personalization, it’s a marketing game-changer. What’s more, loyalty programs allow marketers to use loyalty-specific marketing tactics that can increase customer engagement and extend customer lifecycle. That's why loyalty tech solutions were a top investment for marketers in 2019, according to data from eMarketer. However, in spite of the proven benefits of loyalty programs, many brands are still hesitant to launch one of their own. Why? They fear a loyalty “program” will be too challenging to create, and they don’t know how to get started. All marketers want loyal customers, but most hesitate when it comes to starting their own customer loyalty program. Five Ways to Create Customer Loyalty Many of the assumed challenges related to customer loyalty programs are either misconceptions, or they are challenges that can be quite easily solved with the right approach and strategy. As with any new endeavor, perhaps the biggest challenge marketers face when it comes to customer loyalty is simply getting started. If you’re in need of guidance as you consider ways to drive customer loyalty for your brand, it may help to think in terms of steps. To begin, use the following infographic as a roadmap: 1.

A 5% off coupon here, a 10% off discount code there; you use these to entice your customers and, hopefully, drive them to take a certain action (namely: buy your stuff). The problem is, short of a ridiculously generous price reduction, customers don’t get too fired up about discounts. Their inboxes and mailboxes are already flooded with savings coupons and discount-based promos; so much so that customers now expect discounts. Another problem (and quite critical): overuse of discount-based incentives hurts your company’s margins. To better engage customers and protect your company’s bottom line, you need to be able to inspire customers to make purchases without negatively impacting your revenue. A fully integrated customer loyalty program allows you to create compelling incentives that resonate with customers on an emotional level without the need for discounts.   Rampant Discounts It’s safe to assume that all customers would like to get a product or service for less than its retail price. That’s why discount-based incentives like coupons are so effective. And they’ve been working since the 19th Century. The first coupon ever issued came from The Coca-Cola Company in 1888, in order to drum up business for their yet-to-be-proven soft drink. The offer was simple: one coupon, good for one free glass of Coke (which, at full price, cost a whopping five cents). In 1888, Coca-Cola issued the first coupon in recorded history. As of 2020,... --- ### What Is Customer Loyalty?

What Is Customer Loyalty? Customer loyalty is a customer's willingness to interact with a brand or purchase a specific product on an ongoing basis due to the favorable experiences they associate with that company. Loyal customers are your best brand advocates. They add value to and grow your business through word-of-mouth and face-to-face interactions they share with the individuals in their circles. In fact, customer loyalty is imperative to the success of any brand.   If you place customer value at the heart of every product or service you offer, prioritize customer satisfaction, and encourage positive shopping experience across every channel, then you will have customers willing to buy from your brand over and over again.   Why Is Customer Loyalty Important?   Any good brand should aspire to attract and... --- ### How AI Adoption is Revolutionizing Digital Marketing > AI is transforming campaign strategies, allowing for better data, information, and execution. Explore why AI adoption is imperative to digital marketing success. - Published: 2020-01-23 - Modified: 2023-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/adoption-of-ai-in-digital-marketing/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: AI marketing, artificial intelligence - Translation Priorities: Optional It wasn’t so long ago that artificial intelligence was just a vague but heavily-hyped (albeit capable) technology. AI promised to radically change the way marketing operated, but the tech was haloed by many unknowns: Would it be too complex to implement? Would it steal jobs away from marketers? Would it pave the way for machines to take over the world and conquer humans? The answer to many of those questions, of course, is no (in spite of what The Terminator movies might have you believe). But many marketers continue to speculate about artificial intelligence. They hold a wide range of opinions about the implications of the technology. The problem is, few marketers actually understand AI’s potential to revolutionize how they achieve marketing goals AI Works Alongside Marketers, Not in Place of Marketers Working in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, I occasionally run into former colleagues or professional acquaintances — mostly fellow marketers — who I haven’t seen in a while. Naturally, we’ll take some time to catch-up. If they ask, “What are you up to these days? ” I’ll mention that I write content for an omnichannel customer engagement platform company. If they press deeper, I like to mention some of the specifics about the platform — notably, its artificial intelligence component. For some, this is where their eyes start to glaze over. They think we’ve gone into deep tech territory and they can’t hang in the conversation (again — these are marketers I’m talking about). Others stay poised, but raise a curious... --- ### The AI Advantage: How Artificial Intelligence Is Helping Retailers Keep Up with Customers > In a hyper-competitive retail landscape, AI-enabled personalization can help retailers deliver experiences that lead to loyal customers. - Published: 2020-01-14 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/the-ai-advantage/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional This article originally appeared in The Retailer in November 2019 and has been adapted for the Emarsys blog. In a hyper-competitive retail landscape, AI-enabled personalization can help retailers deliver experiences that lead to loyal customers.   And the climate in which retailers live is growing more unrelenting from several angles. Customers demand recommendations for them as individuals, but there are more brands that are getting closer to actually being able to deliver that kind of personalization — so the heat (competition) is quickly rising. We’ve talked about how reactive marketing no longer cuts it. Marketers need a proactive approach in order to deliver positive experiences that keep customers coming back. Here’s the good news: with data as the great equalizer for brands of any size, artificial intelligence is spurring a new movement in marketing. This new era will be defined by proactive marketing. AI helps retailers to do proactive marketing — learn how. GET THE WHITEPAPER The Promise of AI Research by Gartner shows those using AI for online commerce can expect to see a 25% increase in customer satisfaction, revenue, or cost reduction by 2023. This is because AI enables us to take mounds of data and turn it into actionable insights that can be used to improve customer experiences.   That said, I continue seeing many brands still investing in outdated tools and strategies and who, in time, succumb to subpar, reactive customer interactions... the very thing AI fixes! Still other companies remain stuck in a “business-as-usual-mindset” where they market... --- ### Is It Possible to Capture a Complete 360-Degree View of Customers? > With customers shopping in more channels today than ever before, how can brands deepen their relationship with them?

It’s frustrating. As a marketer, your company has loads of disconnected data. And you have to log in to each tool to pore over the data and make your best-educated guess. You look over reports in your email marketing platform, your website analytics, your social media data, and your ads. This tech stack approach — adding more marketing technology — creates headaches because of your siloed data. What if you could view all your customer data in one place, allowing mere mortals to decide on the best steps to take? Is this even possible? Keep reading to find out. How Data Platforms Work Your company probably has one of several platforms to organize and sort data. To better explain how you can connect all the data your heart desires, let’s look at the most common platforms. CRM (Customer Relationship Management) The most common platform, a CRM collects customer and prospect information — such as name, email, and title — for the entire organization. It stores interactions with customers and prospects so everyone is on the same page. If a customer reached out about a question, if a prospect downloaded a whitepaper, or even if your customer opened your email, this information can be found in a CRM. DMP (Data Management Platform) A DMP collects data from a variety of sources and segments the information so advertisers can create lookalike audiences to target potential prospects in the hopes of converting them to customers. Wow, that was a mouthful... . --- ### What Is Brand Loyalty? Definition, Examples & How to Build Your Own > Brand loyalty is when a customer continually purchases from your company because they trust your brand. Let’s take a look at great examples of brand loyalty and how you can build your own. - Published: 2019-12-27 - Modified: 2021-02-11 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/what-is-brand-loyalty/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: brand loyalty - Translation Priorities: Optional Brand loyalty is when a customer continues to purchase from your company, not because you’re the only option, but because they trust your company. In the age of online commerce where Amazon sets the bar, anyone can import products from countries all around the globe and slap a brand name on them – diluting the authenticity of the original brand in the process. On the other hand, there are brands with cult-like followings they’ve amassed over the years. So what does it take to build brand loyalty? Keep reading to find out. Why People Leave Brands Growing up, we all identified with some brand or another. As a toddler, it was whatever our family bought us. Maybe that was Oshkosh B'gosh clothes or a toy from Mattel like Hot Wheels or Barbie. As a teenager, it was what our friends were into... and either what we could afford, what was handed down, or what family and friends bought for us. As an adult, it’s whatever we want... or can afford. We tend to grow out of brands, not just because of our age but for other reasons, too. Maybe you want to try something new, or what you’re wearing is suddenly out of style. Maybe you had a negative store experience, or a brand just stopped meeting your needs. Back when I purchased a specific brand of jeans, I could walk into the store, grab the exact style, pay, and leave without trying them on. They always fit. For some... --- ### 8 Abandoned Cart Email Best Practices for This Holiday Season (and Beyond) > Within 24 hours of sending a triggered email, a brand can generate 24X their normal revenue, and abandoned cart emails are among the best-performing. - Published: 2019-12-19 - Modified: 2020-10-26 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/8-abandoned-cart-email-best-practices-for-this-holiday-season-and-beyond/ - Categories: How to - Tags: abandon cart, email, email marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional As marketers, we all know how powerful abandoned cart emails can be. As a matter of fact, our data at BounceX has shown that triggered emails — including abandoned cart emails — generate 24x more revenue per send. Not to mention a quarter of this engagement happens more than 24 hours after the first send — giving these emails incredible legs. But we’ve also found that many brands have questions around best practices for sending these emails around the holidays. Questions like: What should they look like? How should they talk about products, what time of year should they go out? To help you out, we dive into key strategies for launching successful abandoned cart emails throughout this holiday season and beyond. Abandoned Cart Best Practices Before we begin, let’s cover some best practices for these abandonment emails. The goal for each is to make sure the look and feel is as personalized as possible (i. e. , not batch-and-blast) while simultaneously not hitting their inbox too frequently. First, you'll need to decide how you will segment your customers to send them emails. This is an important way to ensure your emails are personalized to each customer based on where they are in your buying cycle. For holiday and post-holiday campaigns, it's a good idea to segment customers in the following ways: Low intent or first-time cart abandoners Returning cart abandoners Customers Segmentation by cart value Segmentation by the ROI in each cart Now, let’s touch on the frequency, or cadence, of... --- ### Innovative Technologie bringt Marketern eine kürzere Time-to-Value - Published: 2019-12-06 - Modified: 2019-12-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/tech-innovation-bringt-marketern-eine-kuerzere-time-to-value/ - Categories: Wichtige Erkenntnisse - Tags: faster time to value, forrester wave report, Time to Value - Translation Priorities: Optional Wenn wir an Innovationen denken, kommen uns normalerweise als Erstes technologische Neuerungen in den Sinn. Doch bei Produktinnovationen geht es auch um die Steigerung der Profitabilität. Welchen Sinn hätte die ganze Marketingtechnologie, wenn sie nicht zum Geschäftswachstum beitragen würde? Der kürzlich veröffentlichte Report „The Forrester WaveTM: Cross-Channel Campaign Management (Independent Platforms), Q4 2019“ zeigt unserer Meinung nach, dass unser Unternehmen seine Technologie laufend verbessert, um unseren Kunden eine optimale Grundlage für ihr Wachstum zu bieten. Ein wichtiger Punkt ist dabei eine möglichst kurze Time-to-Value - was einen greifbaren und strategischen Wettbewerbsvorteil innerhalb der Emarsys Marketing Plattform darstellt. Warum eine Innovation-Roadmap so Wichtig ist The Forrester WaveTM: CCCM Report untersucht 40 Kriterien und berücksichtigt dabei Anbieter, die auf mindestens fünf Kanälen diverse Kampagnen umgesetzt haben. Auch wenn es keine gesonderte “Time to Value”-Kategorie gibt, ist es im Cross-Channel Campaign Management essentiell, dass die Marketingtechnologie so schnell wie möglich einsatzbereit ist. Die Kategorie “Innovation Roadmap” untersucht und evaluiert die geplanten Technologie-Innovationen, inkl. Alleinstellungsmerkmale eines CCCM-Anbieters. Ein heikler Punkt in der Tech-Acquisition ist der Übergang zwischen Implementierung und Kampagnen-Umsetzung, bzw. im nächsten Schritt dem Umsatzwachstum - dieser Punkt ist sozusagen das Optimum für Technologien mit kurzer Time-to-Value. Eine effektive Roadmap ist daher essentiell wichtig für eine möglichst kurze Time-to-Value. Emarsys hat 5 von 5 Punkten erzielt, und unsere Roadmap wurde wie folgt charakterisiert: "Ein umfassender und ausgereifter Plan für die Bereitstellung hochmoderner Features, die exakt auf die Bedürfnisse im Bereich CCCM abgestimmt und auf eine visionäre Business-Technologie ausgerichtet sind, hebt Emarsys von den Mitbewerbern ab.

Your company keeps customers and they continue investing in your company. - Published: 2019-12-06 - Modified: 2022-03-18 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-customer-retention-6-unique-strategies/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: customer loyalty, customer retention - Translation Priorities: Optional I worked in a retail store where repeat customers often hunted down their favorite sales associates to solve their problems. These customers didn’t always buy, but they formed relationships with their favorite sales associates and purchased at a later time. They became more than just loyal customers... they evolved into brand ambassadors. Ready to find out what keeps customers coming back to your company? Then keep reading. What Is Customer Retention and Why Is it Important? Depending on the study, and the industry, the cost of acquiring a new customer is anywhere from 5 to 25 times higher than an existing customer. Customer retention enables your company to hold on to customers with the goal of empowering them to become brand ambassadors. Most marketers believe customer retention is simply keeping customers from leaving your company... but it should go beyond that. Retention should also be about empowering customers to become brand ambassadors. Customer retention is a win-win, for both your company and the customer. Your company keeps customers and they continue investing in your company. For the past eight years I’ve had the same stylist. Why? Because he’s fantastic, understands my style, knows what I like, and has insight into my life during our 30-minute sessions. Do you think it would be easy for me to switch stylist? No way. I would have to waste my money with multiple sub-par haircuts to find a replacement. That’s why I remain loyal. Did you know that just a small change in customer... --- ### Top 5 Customer Incentive Ideas for the Holiday Season > Many retail and e-commerce markets are oversaturated, especially during the holiday shopping season. Discover the top 5 customer incentives that will help your company stand out from the crowd. - Published: 2019-12-06 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/5-customer-incentives-to-help-your-company-stand-out-during-the-holiday-season/ - Categories: How to - Tags: holiday incentives, holiday marketing, holiday shopping - Translation Priorities: Optional Many retail and e-commerce markets are oversaturated. This is especially noticeable during the holiday shopping season. So unless you happen to have a truly disruptive product or service, prepare for some stiff competition. Competitors may be selling something similar to what you have. And they're all clamoring for the attention of your customers with their marketing and promotional efforts. Throughout the holidays, it'll be especially loud. Among the din of your noisy competition, your product or service alone — no matter how good it is — may not be enough to get the attention of customers. But the incentives you offer to your customers can tip the scales in your favor. As we move into the thick of the holiday shopping season, consider using incentives to win more customers and increase sales. The Value of Incentives The idea of offering incentives to entice customers is not new. Back in 1881, businessman William Wrigley, Jr. drove sales of baking powder by including two packs of chewing gum with each unit sold. Sure, customers enjoyed the product, but they also loved the extra bonus that came with it. (Little did Wrigley Jr. know this incentive would become more popular than the product itself, thus giving birth to the Wrigley Gum empire). Over time, customers have become accustomed to promotions and incentives. From a customer perspective, incentives increase the perceived value of a purchase. From a business perspective, incentives help brands establish goodwill. According to research from Virtual Incentives, 75% of customers feel... --- ### Are Black Friday and the Cyber 5 Actually Good for Your Brand? > Brands know they can get customers to purchase during Black Friday and the Cyber Five weekend, but if consumers only come for the discounts, what does that do to your bottom line? - Published: 2019-11-25 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/are-black-friday-and-the-cyber-5-actually-good-for-your-brand/ - Categories: How to - Tags: cyber five, holiday strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional Where Black Friday used to be the official kickoff of the end-of-year shopping season, we see more brands offering incentives to buy ahead of Black Friday and the Cyber 5 (the five-day period between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday). Some brands have sales as early as Halloween. Others hold unofficial Black Friday sales in the week and days leading up to Thanksgiving. But is this focus on Black Friday, the Cyber 5, and the weeks leading up to them actually a good thing? The earlier you get shoppers to load up on gifts, the less likely it is that they’ll come back to buy more in December. Shoppers are essentially being trained to go wherever the sales are and hold out for big discounts. This is a growing problem. Brands clamor for shoppers by one-upping each other on discounts, deals that are great for customers but that can seriously damage a brand’s margins. However, there are strategies you can employ to walk that tightrope between treating customers the way they want to be treated and yet still bringing in revenue in November and December. The Draw of Black Friday and the Cyber 5 For shoppers, it’s a combination of saving money on big discounts and getting shopping done early, primarily online and increasingly with mobile. In 2018, the Cyber 5 weekend brought in $24. 2 billion in total online sales, up an astounding 23% from the previous year, and customers spent $313 on average, down slightly from 2017. Cyber 5 2018 Internet... --- ### SAP Emarsys CEO on Why We’re a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cross-Channel Campaign Management Report (Independent Platforms), Q4 2019 > SAP Emarsys CEO Ohad Hecht discusses what it means to be recognized by Forrester for cross-channel campaign management and the personalization it offers. - Published: 2019-11-19 - Modified: 2025-01-23 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/emarsys-ceo-on-why-were-a-leader-in-the-forrester-wave-cross-channel-campaign-management-report-independent-platforms-q4-2019/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: forrester cccm wave report, forrester cross channel campaign management - Translation Priorities: Optional “So what? ” you may ask. For us, it is a big deal. First, because we believe it’s a testament that our ideas as well as our ability to execute on them have contributed to our recognition as a leader by Forrester. Naturally there’s pride involved. And second, it is important to our clients to know that the solution they have chosen is among those who are leading the pack and disrupting the way companies think about marketing. Instead of sales and marketing fluff, or explaining the results which you can check out in the full report, I want to use this opportunity to explain our thought process about where we see the problems in marketing and how we’re developing our solution to solve these challenges. Channel Vs. Personalization I wrote Vs. in the heading above because in many solutions there’s confusion about personalization and channels. Often too much emphasis is placed on the channel as the objective, and personalization is an afterthought. This leads to inconsistency in the ability of brands to deliver personalization across all relevant channels. Why? Because personalization is the BIG idea. The channel itself is merely a means to an end. The ultimate objective is to personalize the experience of the customer. One needs to ask who is the customer, what does she want, at what price, in which channel, at what time, etc. This cannot be achieved in one channel, and the Forrester Wave CCCM Report states that our clients use at least ten channels... --- ### The Forrester Wave™: Cross-Channel Campaign Management (Independent Platforms), Q4 2019 Report: SAP Emarsys Named as a Leader > Forrester recognizes the SAP Emarsys platform as a comprehensive Cross-Channel Campaign Management offering, including industry-focused AI tools that drive personalization. - Published: 2019-11-19 - Modified: 2025-02-21 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/the-forrester-wave-cross-channel-campaign-management-independent-platforms-q4-2019-report-emarsys-named-as-a-leader/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Translation Priorities: Optional FIND OUT WHO’S BEEN NAMED A LEADER IN CROSS-CHANNEL CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT AND WHY Download the report Among the nine vendors evaluated by Forrester, Emarsys is among the leaders in The Forrester Wave™: Cross-Channel Campaign Management (Independent Platforms), Q4 2019.

The report stated, “Emarsys differentiates with a comprehensive CCCM offering... Emarsys complements its core platform with industry-focused AI tools that drive personalization and surface marketing insights. ” This wouldn’t be possible without our customers and partners. Our innovative success depends on giving marketers real-world solutions to the campaign challenges they face, and our customers and partners provide some of the best operational feedback there is.

This Is Not an Accident Over the last two decades, our developers have built our platform and SaaS tools from the ground up with today’s marketer in mind.

I tried buying dress pants off a major retailer’s mobile site. But I couldn’t. The site didn’t let me add the pants to my cart. Kept tapping the screen but nothing happened. I gave up... jumped to the competitor’s site and bought there. This negative experience pushed me away, and your customers may feel the same way if they have a bad experience. They may abandon your brand, jump ship, and purchase from your competitors. Keep reading to find out how you can protect customers from negative experiences, offer memorable interactions, and build customer loyalty. 1. Make convenience a priority It’s the new norm for grocery stores, supermarkets, and some retail stores. Buy online, drive to the store, and employees load your purchase into your vehicle. No need to step inside the store. No more wrangling a child or two, or three... or more into the store. This is convenience. The 24/7 gym member access. The mechanic who comes to your garage. The nurse who visits your home. Food delivered to you from any restaurant in town. In the age of immediate gratification where access to movies, music, apps, and games are just a click away, you have to get your product or service to customers as quickly as possible. 2. Provide a seamless experience for customers There I was in the middle of my morning routine, brushing my teeth when suddenly I remembered to order a new toothbrush.

After two rings a human being answered the phone. That’s right, a real person. There was no automated greeting, no request for me to press zero to speak with someone, a human answered the phone. My jaw hit the floor. When my shock wore off I informed the customer service representative that I would need a replacement for the blade of my beard trimmer. Two minutes later the representative ordered a new part, sent over an estimated time of arrival, and asked if there was anything more she could do for me. Guess what? I refuse to buy a beard trimmer from another company. That short time on the phone changed my feelings about the company from a customer to a brand advocate. Emotion in Action There are a variety of reasons we connect emotionally with a brand. I grew up believing Tide was the greatest laundry detergent because the TV bombarded me with Tide advertisements during Sesame Street. Some of you use a product or service today because it’s what someone in your family used. A grandparent who drove a specific automotive brand, a parent who helped you open a savings account when you were 12 and you’re still with that bank today, a sugary cereal your aunt bought for when you had a sleepover at your cousin’s house. You may feel connected to a brand because of a great experience.

The holiday season in general marks, for almost all retailers and online stores, their most profitable period. But Black Friday has long held the distinction as the single most lucrative day of the entire year — at least in terms of foot traffic and in-store sales. But will its reputation remain, or will other days (and other channels) around the holiday season emerge for retailers to prioritize? Last year’s data reveals interesting implications that marketers should be aware of as, indeed, the bedrock seems to be shifting. Here are 5 things we learned from Black Friday 2018, and takeaways for you to incorporate this holiday. 1. Black Friday sales continue growing, period. The good news for retailers is that Black Friday sales continue growing. 2018 sales — which totaled $6. 2B — were up 23. 6% from the year prior. Black Friday sales are steadily rising each year, second only to Cyber Monday.

Today, every company in the tech space is touting their AI-infused software. As a piece in The Atlantic put it, “deflationary examples of AI are everywhere. ” If I had a dollar for every claim I’ve heard that someone “uses AI” in their platform, I’d have enough to build my own automation software... and that costs a lot. “On one hand, you have AI people complaining that the term has lost its meaning. On the other hand, you have reporters, startups, S&P 500 boards and every VC firm on the planet all claiming that anything slightly complex or slightly automated is AI. ” - Ronald Ashri, Hackernoon Most AI claims are slick marketing ploys, playing on that sweet spot in the minds of marketers looking to jump on the hottest trend in the space. But “real AI” is comparatively more rare. Real AI is how Amazon, Google, Facebook and Emarsys are taking CX and predictive marketing to new heights.

Artificial intelligence is here, and here to stay. The way some people have hyped it up, though, you may have thought there’s some three-eyed, two-headed AI monster — coming to steal your job, create havoc among your tech stack, and overtake, mess up, and mutate all of your precious customer data. But this fear-based approach stems from widespread misunderstandings about what AI is, and how it can help e-commerce marketers. For teams who are ready to embrace this game-changing technology, the benefits are becoming evident. How AI Is Impacting E-commerce Let’s get real. AI is fundamentally altering the way online brands can market to their consumers. This is happening whether you believe it to be so, or not. And when it comes to AI, I have some good news and bad news. Which would you like first? Since I’m a “glass half full” type of marketer and passionate proponent of AI, let’s focus on the good first. Artificial intelligence is unequivocally changing the e-commerce space. And it will augment aspects of your job (the repetitious, monotonous, data-intensive parts). But it won’t distort your data or cause inconsistencies with your communications. The fact is that there are dozens of tangible use cases for AI in e-commerce that are helping (not hurting) the organizations which have employed it. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, are you ready for the bad? This is it:... --- ### 10 AI Trends Marketers Should Watch for In 2020 [+ Bonus Infographic] > AI nears a tipping point where successful marketers leverage the technology to excel at customer experience. - Published: 2019-09-05 - Modified: 2023-10-26 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/10-ai-trends-infographic/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: AI marketing, artificial intelligence marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Artificial intelligence is helping us explore the universe, diagnose diseases, and program autonomous cars, among thousands of other use cases across dozens of industries, including, especially, marketing. Even amidst its tangible applications, AI is still in its infancy – through marketers believe that it’s a significant game-changer... and many are doing something about it. A new decade is upon us – as the AI hype begins to dissipate and the proverbial clouds start to clear, which trends do retail marketers need to watch for in 2020? 10 for 2020: AI Trends for Retail Marketing in the Next Year Whether you’re looking to get started with AI, expand your results from it, or fine-tune existing use cases, we scoured the net, talked to experts, and did our own research to give you the top AI trends to keep in mind over the next year. 1. Manage real-time customer interactions across channels Our 2017 research showed that 26% of marketers planned to implement RTM more than 12 months ahead – so, around now. Look for marketing to become truly real-time, enabled by AI, as we move into 2020. 2. Improve retention and loyalty with new insights As an overarching benefit, we also found that both business decision makers and users said AI marketing enables better customer retention.

That presumption is fading fast. Today, the biggest hurdle facing AI marketing is understanding its true value amidst so many lofty promises and pervasive misconceptions. The history of AI dates back further than most realize, but for all intents and purposes, the development of modern AI was really catalyzed in the 1950s with The Turing Test — a measure which quantified a machine’s intelligence. Fast-forward to 2010: Microsoft begins tracking human body movement using a 3D camera and infrared detection. In 2011, IBM’s Watson defeats two Jeopardy! Champions and Apple launches Siri. In 2014, Amazon releases Alexa. In 2015, Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo infamously beats human competitors in the game Go. In 2017 and 2018, Facebook, Google, Samsung, and Alibaba all launch AI technologies. And, for the first time, over the past five years (and entering the next five), marketers are using AI to drive value in a multitude of ways. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is here, and it’s unfolding fast. #Marketers are using #AI to drive value in a multitude of ways - the Fourth Industrial Revolution is here CLICK TO TWEET See how marketers are unlocking new insights with AI Give me the Whitepaper What Is Artificial Intelligence & What Does It Mean for E-commerce Marketers?

As marketers, we’re under an exceptional amount of pressure. Expectations are higher now than ever before to deliver on revenue goals and drive overall ROMI (return on marketing investment). It’s easy to slip unknowingly from being proactive to reactive while trying to juggle multiple channels, individual point solutions, high-dollar campaigns, and incoming requests from sales teams and other departments. Adding to the pressure is the issue of data. The good news is that there is an incredible amount of consumer data available to marketers today, information that can be used to deliver truly personal brand interactions. The bad news? All too often, this data becomes an overwhelming obstacle to sift through, analyze, interpret, and apply to the creation of personalized experiences for each individual. And for good reason: human-driven personalization doesn’t scale. In fact, most marketers don’t feel adequately equipped to predict the customer journey and drive maximum value in their current state. The pressure on marketers mounts even higher when board members or the CEO demand a bottom-line rainbow. Marketers are being pressured for results, but lack the ability to accurately measure the impact of their marketing. Don’t worry, we get it. You’re not alone. These are challenges faced by many of today’s brands. Thankfully, a new era of empowered marketing is dawning. It’s time to revolutionize the role of the marketer and create a marketing strategy that better serves the marketer and the customer. Revolutionize the Role of the Marketer For most marketers, data... --- ### The CMO Challenge: Why CMOs are the First to Go in the C-Suite - Published: 2019-08-13 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/cmo-challenges/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Translation Priorities: Optional CMOs have the shortest tenure of the entire C-suite. But why? CMOs have a reputation problem in the organization. Of all the leaders in the C-suite, they have the hardest time proving the positive impact and ROI that marketing spend has on the business. This needs to change. CMOs need to create a more direct line of visibility into the work they’re doing and the results they’re delivering. This blog will explore the need to shift from an operational focus to a strategic focus when it comes to KPIs and measuring marketing results. Why Marketing Leadership Turnover Is at an All-Time High It’s a common quip among CMOs that their average tenure is 18-24 months. Though this insider joke is a little off — the average CMO as of 2017 lasted an average of 44 months — it’s worth noting that CMOs are almost always the first to go among the C-suite when a disruption is needed in the business. And in 2018, we saw big disruption in the marketing world among top brands. In the graphic below, SpencerStuart tracked the movements in the CMO role across big brands to discover that 2018 was an especially hard year for marketers. There was a lot of change and a lot of disruption to marketing leadership, not only in e-commerce and retail, but across industries. But, why do we see such a short tenure for CMOs and why so much disruption in 2018? For most companies it points back to the one... --- ### The Marketing Metrics & KPIs Your CMO Really Cares About - Published: 2019-07-31 - Modified: 2019-07-31 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/cmo-metrics-for-marketers/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Translation Priorities: Optional As marketers, we’ve been brought up to believe that reporting is an intricate part of our job. But we’re given tools that only allow us to measure success based on channel-specific, operational KPIs. At best, these metrics are a shallow representation of the work we do. They don’t give us information about how our campaigns are impacting the overall success of the business. We need to break free from the mindset that open rates and click-through rates mean success. Marketers must transition into a more strategic role by graduating from operational KPIs to strategic KPIs. In doing this, marketers will become invaluable assets to their organization — being able to connect their day-to-day activities with higher business objectives. The Marketing Metrics & KPIs Your CMO Really Cares AboutLet’s look at the differences between operational and strategic metrics and a few examples of strategic metrics that can impact your e-commerce business right away. Operational MetricsOperational metrics are the ones we’ve been led to believe we should report on. They prove we’re successful in our role. At least that’s what every channel-specific technology platform would have us believe. But operational metrics mostly focus on results that can be impacted daily. They can fall in different channels or in operational processes. And while they are important metrics, they don’t give marketers the full view of the impact marketing is having on the business. These metrics might include:Emails sentEmail open ratesMessage CTRI feel it’s important to say again that these types of metrics still matter for marketers.

Data reaffirms it, but practically all you need to do is look up whenever you’re out. Consumer attention via the mobile screen is today’s foremost digital currency. The mobile device is the #1 vehicle consumers use to interact with brands. Are our phones taking over our lives? Or are they just really convenient, portable information pods connecting consumers to the IoT? For better or worse, brands need to understand why mobile engagement matters and how to engage audiences across multiple use cases including SMS, in-app messaging, push notifications, and more. Why Mobile Engagement Is Important The mass movement to mobile has happened at such a pace that it’s left marketers with figurative whiplash. The trend began gaining momentum with the advent of smartphones and quickly accelerated over the past several years. For many companies, mobile has become the preferred channel for their customer base, with more than half of their e-commerce transactions taking place on mobile devices. And, as an Access Development article points out, there’s a direct correlation between interactions and engagement — the more frequent and meaningful interactions are, the more engaged the user is. So the name of the game is getting more people to communicate with your brand more often when on their phones. The transition (from desktop or even in-store to mobile) happened so suddenly that marketing departments struggled to keep up and adopt the new tools and mindsets necessary to market to these mobile consumers. If... --- ### Changing the Way We Measure Marketing: A New Free Benchmarking Tool for E-Commerce Marketers > Marketer sollten sich mehr auf strategische KPIs konzentrieren. SAP Emarsys stellt ein innovatives Tool vor, das eine neue Generation im Benchmarking einleitet. - Published: 2019-07-05 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/new-benchmarking-tool-e-commerce/ - Categories: How to - Translation Priorities: Optional Emarsys launches a new tool that delivers the next generation in benchmarking. The need for a new kind of benchmarking Benchmarking is not a new subject. The practice of looking at industry averages of key performance metrics is something all marketers have grown accustomed to over the course of our careers. We’ll download the latest report and check to see if our open, click-through, and unsubscribe rates match up. If our metrics align with the industry average (or are even better), then we’re doing pretty great at our jobs, right? Unfortunately, no. When it comes to marketing results in the business, leadership doesn’t care how great our email channel is performing unless we can show how it is impacting the actual business objectives and results. But every benchmarking report or tool focuses on these operational, channel-specific KPIs. They show the averages of how each channel is performing, but give us no way to connect the performance of these channels with business objectives. As marketers, this should be unacceptable. As a department, marketing is constantly on the chopping block and constantly being scrutinized about the work we’re doing. Why? Because we report our success based on these operational metrics. We have trouble connecting what we’re doing everyday to the overall company objectives. And as mentioned above, if we can’t show leadership how our work is impacting business results, they don’t care. We need to find a way to make this connection or risk becoming obsolete. It’s time for a benchmarking tool... --- ### The History of Omnichannel: Paving Your Path to Omnichannel Success - Published: 2019-06-25 - Modified: 2023-10-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/retailers-implementing-omnichannel-strategies/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: customer engagement, omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional For many marketers, the word ‘omnichannel’ is, understandably, an overutilized, overwhelming linguistic overview of a concept much more difficult to actually achieve than implied. The thought of expanding into more than one marketing channel – while maintaining a unified, consistent, personalized experience across them all – is abstract. Regardless of how unequipped you may feel or how far off things may seem, the time has come for all brands to commit to establishing a true omnichannel strategy. Why? Because there’s so much at stake, and so much to gain. Upwards of 90% of customers expect consistent interactions across channels. Armed with an omnichannel strategy, your business can present shoppers with more opportunities to engage, interact, and buy. Additionally, with an omnichannel strategy in place, customer data can be collected from a wide range of interactions across an infinite amount of channels. All that data lives in a single database – the coveted unified customer profile) – ultimately helping you create marketing magic. If you think omnichannel marketing is only for major enterprises that can dedicate massive resources to launching sophisticated strategies, think again. With tech and data as the great equalizer, the path to omnichannel success is easily illuminated for mid-market businesses and smaller brands, too. Getting Your Omnichannel Strategy Started Today, most brands begin their journey to omnichannel from a single channel: email. While this isn’t the only way to begin, an email-first approach to omnichannel offers a foundation for future expansion, and easier collection of quality data. However,... --- ### The Evolution of Email: Step Away from Open Rates - Published: 2019-06-20 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/evolution-of-email/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: email deliverability, email marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Step Away from Open Rates Email marketing remains the #1 digital channel for ROI, yet the changes taking place with email are dynamic and challenging to keep up with. Still, e-commerce marketing teams need to stay in the loop to remain competitive across this channel. The evolution of email marketing Email marketing today is a very different beast from the e-newsletters which were sent once or twice a month to subscribers, back when open rates and click rates were the key measurement of success for marketing teams. Email marketing now drives more web traffic than paid and social combined, delivers the highest ROI of any marketing channel, and is the preferred communication channel of consumers for pre-purchase, post-purchase and transactional messaging. Email continues to evolve with content, cadence, and frequency curated and optimized to the needs and preferences of each individual. Inbox filtering and security protocol has changed too, in response to increasingly sophisticated threats in increasingly sophisticated ways. The digital marketing industry is more complex than it has ever been, yet the core method of tracking, reporting and segmenting seems like it hasn’t changed much. Marketing has changed but metrics are lagging behind. “#Marketing has changed, but metrics are lagging behind,” says @ePrivacyProf CLICK TO TWEET The open rate dilemma I first spoke about the problems of open rate tracking lagging behind industry change at the Internet World conference in 2013.

Learn how you can transform your customer journey with personalization. - Published: 2019-06-18 - Modified: 2023-04-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/creating-personalized-experience-across-digital-customer-journey/ - Categories: How to - Tags: customer engagement, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional The race is on — if it seems like everybody and every company is talking about “personalization,” it’s because they are! Creating more personalized experiences is the ultimate end game in the digital world where the customer experience reigns supreme. What Is the Digital Customer Journey? The digital customer journey refers to the process a customer goes through with your brand — from browsing to purchase to post-purchase. For marketers, the key is being able to identify what stage a customer is at, and successfully curating the content they receive based on this stage as if it were served up manually and with great care (technology will automate the who, what, where, and when as you give it quality content and data). With potentially thousands of customers on your website and even more SKUs, we can start to understand how the whole “right product, right person, right time” ethos comes into play. But let’s get real... Is this idea just another trendy statement prophesied by a blogger, completely infeasible for marketers in the real world? Or are we actually there? Let’s break it down, starting with a typical e-commerce journey. Digital Hugging: Idealizing the Customer Experience Have you heard the term digital hugging? I certainly had not, that is, until I started researching trends facing marketers as we move further into the year. As better tech quickly evens the playing field, so to speak, strategy and creativity come into the crosshairs as the real differentiators. Digital hugging goes beyond personalization... --- ### Email Icebreakers: 4 Creative Ways to Start Conversations with Subscribers > Discover effective email icebreakers to engage subscribers.

However, it often gets relegated to just a few use cases: event and product promotion, transactional confirmations, content distribution, and several others. It makes sense; after all, email is really good for those missions. But it’s too frequently overlooked as a prime way to start meaningful discussions that evolve into engagement and loyalty. “#Email is overlooked as a way to start convos that evolve into #engagement & #loyalty,” says @MMtwopointfive CLICK TO TWEET The new front in the war for customers’ attention and favor has shifted to the customer experience. 9 in 10 companies now say they “compete primarily on the basis of customer experience. ” When subscribers feel heard and are engaged on a personal level, they’ll be more likely to return. But just like “real life,” starting a conversation via email can be easier said than done. Fortunately, marketers have plenty of email marketing tools at their disposal to break the ice and begin a dialogue. Start with Your Best Pickup Line If you want to develop lasting, ongoing conversations with your audience, it’s best to start them as early as possible. For email marketers, that usually means the welcome email. A welcome email or series of emails is your best opportunity to set the tone for your subscriber relationship. These messages often have 4x the open rate and 5x the click-through rate of other marketing emails. After all, your subscriber has just volunteered their contact... --- ### Transforming Your Business with a Marketing Automation Platform - Published: 2019-06-04 - Modified: 2019-06-04 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/marketing-automation-platform/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: new marketing technology, personalized marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Most brands I'm familiar with want to transform at least part of their marketing. Whether you're revamping your email marketing, revitalizing your mobile approach, connecting your website with other channels, or bringing all of your channels together in one place, marketing automation technology can help. But to get the most out of the technology, you have to understand more about making that transformation, including how the tech works and the top mistakes many brands make. Does Marketing Automation Work? Let’s get real. An automation platform is not a substitute for “bad” marketing, and it won’t suddenly fix disconnected processes or silos. It’s not a silver bullet that will suddenly remedy all your woes. If each one of the 7,000+ marketing tech tools out there could actually live up to half of their hype, the majority of marketers would be executing flawless, perfectly placed campaigns that convert enough visitors to make the marketing department self-sustaining. Marketers would have tons of time on their hands and less work to do. But that's not happening just yet. So does automation work? Yes, it works really well if you want to simplify processes and production, scale personalization across your database, and measure results. As with all things, though, the strategy and work you put in is exactly what you’ll get out of it. It’s also crucial to understand how tech can help and where its shortcomings lie. How Does Automation Work? Whether you’re an automation beginner or pro, understanding the basics about how automation works is always good.

Website engagement cannot be overlooked if the customer experience is the deciding factor in terms of brand loyalty in today’s digital ecosystem. Here are 10 incredibly useful ways for retailers to increase website engagement. 1. Maximize time on site and time on page B2C buyers spend an average of 2:47 on-site. Of course, this is the average. Naturally, bounce rates will be higher for sites that don't follow through on the promise that was made (in an ad, email, social post, etc). Sessions will last longer based on the visitor's intent. Returning customers doing research on an item or building a basket will likely stay longer. Maximize time spent on your website and individual pages by ensuring a smooth flow, quick loading speed (loading time does impact the bottom line), and that valuable, informative content is front and center. When it comes to time on page and engagement, it’s about quality over quantity. ➤ Pro Tip: Leverage rich content, interactivity, and a dash of parallax to really captivate users with an ultra-intense UX. 2. Simplify navigation and smooth out kinks in the UX The e-commerce marketplace is crowded and noisy, to say the least. The best e-commerce sites embrace a minimalist approach, going with simple and elegant.

But, honestly, not much has changed in the way of email content when we think of all the other marketing channels and how they’ve evolved. Many marketers still send static, flat emails most of the time. Only a handful of forward-thinking marketers have leapt forward and challenged the status quo. These marketers have begun to use interactive content in their emails and are seeing massive benefits! Interactive email content increases click-to-open rates by 73%! Bringing Emails to Life with Interactive Content Here are a few ways you can add interactive content to your emails and start seeing the benefits, including a massive lift in click-through. It isn’t as hard as you think – and more tools are emerging every day that will help marketers bring email to life. 1. Gamify your emails It goes without saying, but when you entertain your audience, you make them happier. However, what you probably didn’t realize is that gamification can have direct impact on how your brand is remembered. Adding gamified elements to your email gives your audience a memorable experience they’ll reflect back on when they are looking to make a purchase. Quizzes, polls, and other clickable or reactive elements in emails have become increasingly popular. These added sparks not only entertain recipients and make your brand stand out, they can help you collect more data about your audience.

Both AOV and CLTV can offer distinct insights for e-commerce brands looking to optimize short-term sales and long-term revenue impact. We’ll explore the differences between the two KPIs, when each should be considered, and which is most useful. AOV or CLTV? A question as old as e-commerce itself: Average Order Value (AOV) or Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) — which one is more telling? When should you measure each? How do we calculate them? What are the best ways to take action on insights that AOV and CLTV provide? The truth is that both metrics are of value and are necessary to drive real growth, but understanding which to look at in a specific use case depends on your business model, industry, customer, and what you’re trying to measure — or prove. We’ll share what we’ve learned — based on our client data — about these two popular metrics, when they’re best used, and which is most important. What Is AOV and When Is It Best Used? As defined by our partner BigCommerce: “Average Order Value (AOV) is an e-commerce metric that measures the average total of every order placed with a merchant over a defined period of time. AOV is one of the most important metrics for online stores to be aware of, driving key business decisions such as advertising spend, store layout, and product pricing. ” In general,... --- ### 3 Important Retention Marketing Strategies Every Retailer Needs to Know - Published: 2019-05-07 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/5-important-retention-marketing-strategies-every-retailer-needs-know/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: customer loyalty, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional Retention marketing is the new way of the e-commerce world. It requires a mind shift that must be made, though. Marketers have to begin to understand how to create more loyalty among those customers whom they’ve already earned instead of over-investing or risking resources in trying to find so much "new. " If you haven’t heard it before, know this: your existing customers actually offer the ripest opportunities for further monetization. Our recent infographic, focusing on turning first time buyers into active customers, shows that you have only a 27% chance of a customer returning after one purchase... but a 54% chance of them returning after a second or third purchase. Another study by Gartner revealed that 80% of a company’s future revenue will come from just 20% of their existing customers. Retention truly represents the most lucrative investment for modern e-commerce teams looking to break away from the accepted status quo! In this post, we’ll share three retention marketing strategies that you can mix and match to find the right combination that works for your personalized marketing plan. Used with a retention mindset, email can change your business, so, if you’re ready to expand your email marketing strategy to more poignantly target existing customers, listen up! Editor’s Note: You shouldn’t be throwing around these tactics at random. Ensure they’re a strategic part of your customer lifecycle marketing strategy and that they align with your business objectives. 1.

Not only do customers expect more from your brand post-purchase, but they expect you to wine and dine them with personalized marketing experiences prior to purchase, too. For e-commerce marketers, this is increasingly difficult as more and more businesses are popping up in the e-commerce space offering more niche, personalized products and services. Consumers are inundated with choices, which means e-commerce marketers are facing more competition. Not only that, but the demand for personalization is creating more data than marketers can manage. So what’s the solution? How can e-commerce marketers get ahead of the game and start managing their data to create personalized experiences that win customers over again and again? What are the Top E-Commerce Challenges Marketers Face Today? Tweet: "#Ecommerce #marketing is challenging - choice, competition, #data, & the demand for #personalization are overwhelming" says @hollypels  Let’s take a look at three of the most common challenges e-commerce marketers are facing right now and how they can overcome them. 1. More Data, More Choices, More Confusion With rising customer expectations and the demand for data, e-commerce marketers are finding themselves with more data than they can handle.

We’ve been singing (and hearing) this tune for at least three or four years now. Technologically advanced brands on the leading edge are already bringing experiences to life. The future of brand activation — of consumer engagement — may just lie in the execution of these unique, engaging interactions. Experiential marketing means creating emotive, immersive, co-creational (with consumers) brand memories. “The role of emotion is critical in how people connect with a brand... You can move sales when you do a live event, a mobile tour, a street team — that’s why you do a lot of those things. But the underlying purpose in event marketing, in experiential marketing, is in meaning, emotion, community, and bringing people together to make them feel part of something larger. It’s built on that undercurrent of emotion. True personalization and true meaning comes when somebody is creating their own experience by being active in it, and having a shared experience with others. ” Brent Turner • SVP, Solutions, Cramer • @brentrt "The underlying purpose in #event or #experientialmarketing, is in meaning, emotion, community, & bringing people together" says @brentrt CLICK TO TWEET Traditionally, big-name consumer brands like Coca-Cola, Volkswagen, Guinness, Red Bull, Snap, Tesla, Disney, Amazon, and others have set the bar high when it comes to virtual, real-world events and experiences.

But holiday marketing shouldn’t be a concept we reserve for these year-end events, rather we should look at key season events throughout the year as a way to connect and engage further with our customers. Too many brands focus on holidays with batch-and-blast campaigns targeting their entire audience, but holiday activity should be part of a year-round focus delivering personalised experiences to individuals on occasions they care about. Any engagement should be part of a well-planned program mapped out up to a year in advance with promotions timed to coincide with milestone dates, such as International Women’s Day, Mother’s and Children’s Day, Father’s Day, and Singles Day, along with traditional Western occasions now becoming popular in the East, such as Halloween and Valentine’s Day. For even more personalisation, you can add the customer’s own milestones such as a birthday or wedding anniversary. Brands enjoying success in Mainland China connect with their customers through many mediums, creating a journey across multiple touchpoints rather than just one-off connections. And along that journey, WeChat is especially important. As we highlight in our latest WeChat whitepaper One Billion Customers Can’t be Wrong, developing and executing a WeChat program for your brand is essential. So how can brands use WeChat to further their omnichannel experience with customers during the holidays? Combining Traditions with Technology When planning out a new strategy for any seasonal event, it’s beneficial to look... --- ### How to Incorporate Mobile in Your Omnichannel Approach [+ 8 High-Value Use Cases] - Published: 2019-04-16 - Modified: 2023-10-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/8-high-value-omnichannel-mobile-use-cases/ - Categories: How to - Tags: mobile, mobile marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional This three-part series will explore how marketers can take advantage of arguably the fastest-growing digital channel: mobile.

Global penetration of mobile devices are at an all-time high, and engagement and m-commerce are growing like never before. Along with investments in email marketing, there’s no better channel to focus your resources on than the mobile channel. As the omnichannel landscape flourishes, so too will the different ways you can leverage mobile as a piece of your puzzle. Where you may have been able to get away with hosting your mobile marketing as a “stand-alone” 10 or even five years ago, you no longer can afford to hold that data in isolation. Integrating mobile within the larger picture is both needed and requires a little forethought. Concepts like tech consolidation and having “a single source of truth” become living, breathing things to consider when bringing in the mobile channel. How, when, and where can you make mobile more integral to your customers’ brand experience? I partnered with our Global Product Manager, Mobile, Erin Azar, to help bring these concepts to life.

We test incentives all the time. So, we may go ‘here’s £10 off, and here’s £20 off,’ and we’ll test that to see which gets best results.

But I wanted to dig deeper — so I dove in and asked a few millennials to share their thoughts. As of 2019, this demographic of 23- to 36-year-olds requires an interesting and engaging brand experience. There’s a huge opportunity here, especially on mobile and when moving from online to offline. According to Retail TouchPoints and Groove, 68% of millennials desire a combined online and offline brand experience. 96% view their mobile devices as the most important items in their lives, so it’s no wonder that they expect seamless experiences from brands. Tapping into the Millennial Mindset As if to perpetuate the “stereotypes,” here are a few common loyalty-related statements you might hear from the mouths of your millennial audience from time to time: “I don’t want to buy the 700-channel package when I only watch five — I want to buy only those five. ” “I want to be able to browse your online store in-app while flipping between Instagram and texting my friends... and then buy with a click of a button when I’m ready. ” “Oh yeah, one bad brand experience, and I’m done. On to the next! ” Millennials also want to identify with the brands they buy from. This segment wants their voices to be heard, and, as a group, they are not afraid to voice any dissatisfaction... --- ### 5 Examples of Successful, Data-Driven Customer Loyalty Programs > What’s the secret to a successful customer loyalty program?

DATA. It all always comes back to that four-letter word, and for good reason — re-arrange those letters and what do you get? TA-DA! Makes sense, right? With customer loyalty, it actually does. And loyal customers represent the most lucrative segment — usually the most engaged, highest-spending, and most frequent buyers in your database. It stands to reason that you’d want to know them best (and they’re probably giving you the information needed to make that happen). Why, then, are so many companies failing to put together personalized experiences for loyal members? And what would a data-driven, personalized B2C loyalty program look like? The Importance of Customer Loyalty Did you know that loyal customers spend 67% more on products and services than new customers?   If you focus on your existing customers’ needs, they’ll continue to buy from you and will spend more over their lifetime with your company — that’s why customer loyalty programs are so beneficial. Investing in a successful loyalty program can help you retain existing customers, increase customer referrals, and gain more user-generated content from happy customers.

Creating Data-Driven Customer Loyalty Experiences It’s easy to spin up a loyalty program and an accompanying app. But it takes a strategic, well-planned approach to do so in conjunction with all the customer data you have in your database.

How else or where else will marketing be affected? Some of the hottest areas of focus for forward-looking e-comm teams include: Blockchain marketing Cross-device identification Real-time marketing Voice-as-a-channel The rise of owned channels as banner ads slowly die And just as you thought the prophecies and predictions had come to a swift culmination, voilà! 2019 is well underway, so in lieu of limiting our outlook towards only the year ahead, we’re sharing 5 can’t-look-past virtual certainties for e-commerce marketers for the next 5 years. 5 Predictions For The Next 5 Years: Changes in E-Commerce Marketing We did in-depth research, talked to practitioners across the industry, and asked top e-commerce marketing thought leaders what they’re looking for in the next five years. Here’s what we learned. 1. Blockchain will restore control of data to consumers and add more certainty for brands Imagine being able to record, see, and cite immutable, incontrovertible proof of basically anything with your business. Blockchain enables this kind of concrete record-keeping and lets marketing organizations add more certainty to aspects of the business where it makes sense. For example, a set-in-stone ledger of when an item was ordered, shipped, and delivered to a customer removes any chance of confusion or doubt.

The e-commerce movement has spurred countless changes that retailers are being forced to contend with. Among them is figuring out how to remain relevant to customers who are also adapting to the "one-click culture. " For customers, it’s never been easier to brand hop for a slightly better experience, more affordable product, or just to try something new. Yet you and your team are still responsible for hitting the mark and increasing by . Retail marketers are being pulled from every direction. Whether your goal is to drive revenue, ROI, or retention, assembling the pieces to make it happen is hard. What’s Wrong with Retail Marketing? Driving repeat footfall to the store AND website (traffic), engaging customers so they spend more (AOV), buy more often (purchase frequency), and become more inclined to engage (conversion rate), or join your fan club (subscribe) are all challenges that retail marketers are facing. It’s easier to reach customers than ever before. But with an influx of tech, channels, and more data, reaching those high-level business objectives can require adjustments along the way. It’s easy to feel lost (and come up short of those high-level business objectives). A slight recalibration of things – a re-evaluation of what you’re aiming for, a re-assertion of the means by which you can get there, and a re-commitment to the methods which will bring about success – is needed. Start with objectives, move... --- ### The Future of Retail & e-Commerce: Allen Nance at HUBDAY Retail [Video] - Published: 2019-03-12 - Modified: 2024-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/video-future-of-retail-e-commerce-allen-nance/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional In today's world, the reality of e-commerce is this: there's an overwhelming amount of pressure to personalize every customer interaction. The challenge is how to do it. Allen Nance, CMO at Emarsys, recently spoke about the role of AI in e-commerce at HUBDAY Retail in Paris. If you want to compete, as Allen describes, you have to meet the rising consumer demands for personalized brand interactions at every place. The issue is that creating and scaling these kinds of personalized experiences is not possible to do via drag-and-drop. The answer? Artificial intelligence. But even AI has all sorts of misnomers, myths, and false marketing surrounding it. In truth, AI should give you data you don't currently have. Marrying the marketer and machine — so you can be more creative more of the time — is the means to achieving personalization. "#AI is the creation of #data you DON'T have based on a #bayesiannetwork," says @AllenNance CLICK TO TWEET Watch Allen's full-length, 14-minute presentation from Paris: https://www. youtube. com/watch? time_continue=2&amp=&v=zTJ38QKjwKA "I have never met a marketer who said, 'My 2019 strategy is to send less personalized messages to fewer people' — no one says that! Everyone is trying to do more personalized marketing... the problem is that we've moved beyond the human's capacity to do personalization... you cannot drag-and-drop your way to personalization. We've moved into a world where it is physically impossible.

You can run the best marketing campaigns ever created with the best automation capabilities ever devised, but if your website has issues converting web traffic into sales, you won’t achieve the ROI you’ve come to expect from many proven marketing strategies. Conversion rate optimization is equal parts art and science. If you want to increase the likelihood that a website visitor will make a purchase, there are dozens of metrics and factors that you can look at. As a result, you may mistakenly neglect a foundational building block in the success of your conversion rates – your hosting infrastructure.

If you’re like 94% of marketers, then you’re likely struggling to do so, and for a number of very good reasons:A lack of time — building emails on a per-send basis creates a time-stretched team.

The BAU loop — “it’s just not practical to create more than 5 variations. ”Energy and time spent on build-test-send-revisePreparation, approval, ready for send — then something changes (UGHHH! )At Emarsys Revolution 2018, Kickdynamic’s dynamic duo, Matt Hayes and Jordan Sawyer, share how to get over these obstacles and finally start personalizing, automating, and executing emails at scale. Watch their full-length 35-minute presentation: “You can’t achieve personalization without automation. You really can’t! If anyone is thinking ‘I do personalization — I send womenswear and menswear emails,’ that’s great, but you may be stuck or unable to get beyond that. You have to automate the content and also combine different layers of personalization and relevance across email programs. You’ll see a gradual increase in clicks, revenue, etc. ” Matt Hayes • CEO, Kickdynamic • @matthewhayes Do you personalize your emails? Even today, BAU is a crippling conundrum for many brands.

But its unique business model – built mostly on a team of enthusiastic but remote consultants – made it challenging to connect disparate data sets, create complete customer profiles, and communicate consistently with their sales force in the field. In an effort to revamp its marketing communications approach and consolidate all customer and consultant information, Tupperware needed a marketing automation platform that was equally a partner and pioneer. The Challenge: Dealing with a Data Deficit Tupperware’s well-known product parties aim to connect consultants with customers in a fun way, complete with food and freebies. But this kind of business model was becoming a double-edged sword. The disparately situated sales team had no central place to store notes, updates, and data about the people they were interacting with on a daily basis. Most of their notes were kept in individual siloes, usually on each consultant’s home computer. “We were not collecting data effectively. When you looked at each field, you might have incomplete data... so what we have to do is show consultants what we're trying to achieve through platform is actually going to benefit them so that we can all start improving our data collection. ” Rick Medeiros • Global Vice President of Digital Transformation, Tupperware The brand was also unable to do any personalization at scale.

Most email marketers measure metrics like open rate, click rate, open-to-click rate, unsubscribes, and the like. But where else can you glean insight? Want to know something? Mailbox providers like Microsoft and Gmail don't care about those metrics. In fact, they're helping users unsubscribe from brands that they haven't engaged with in a while. All they care about is how someone engages with your message in relation to other brands.

B2C e-commerce offers benefits for both businesses — scale, simplicity, and ease — and for consumers — convenience, choice, and an array of customization possibilities — which has made the e-commerce industry one of the quickest growing areas within the modern economy.

In fact, people spend more than an hour and a half on social media every day! Next to email, could social media be the most critical area to focus on for marketing in 2019? While it depends on your customers and your goals, social is a can’t-miss opportunity for 2019. 5 Predictions For What’s Next in Social Media Here are 5 predictions for where social is headed in the year to come – and how you can jump the gun to amplify views, shares, clicks, conversions, and revenue from the World Wide Web’s most lucrative vehicle. 1. Expect the prevalence of influencer marketing to continue growing. Influencer marketing is becoming the primary method of online customer acquisition – not to mention of awareness and brand building. Influencer marketing campaigns/content earn about $6. 50 for each dollar spent (Digital Marketing Institute), so they’re also well worth the investment. Influencer-contributed content can add value across every channel, too, whether to catch attention within emails, to add credibility and story tell on the blog, or to garner new audiences across social media. In 2019, look for influencer marketing to become a more integral part of more e-commerce companies’ marketing efforts. 2. Look for more companies to tap into the rewards of social listening.

At least that’s what I’m going to call it. Everything will start to come full circle, and us marketers will get closer to connecting the dots. Here are 5 things to look for in the upcoming 12 months. 1. More native and relevant social advertising Interruptive advertising is quickly becoming extinct for all intents and purposes. In fact, more than 30 percent of all internet users have installed ad blockers — and that number is rising steadily. Traditional ads now won’t even reach 30 percent of your possible target audience members. For every 10,000 impressions, traditional display and banner ads only generate 5 clicks. Source: SmartInsights. Advertising isn’t dead, but the same ol’, programmatic banner ads are a dying breed. A new way of reaching people with relevancy is needed and, luckily, emerging. Retargeting existing CRM contacts — as well as displaying content to anonymous audiences that demonstrate similar behavior to known database segments — with relevant social media ads specifically designed for them are breaking through the clutter.

We provide a list of 10 questions you should be asking before making moves towards buying new marketing software for your brand. - Published: 2018-11-20 - Modified: 2023-10-25 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/10-considerations-choosing-best-email-marketing-software/ - Categories: General, Innovative Perspectives - Tags: email marketing, new marketing technology - Translation Priorities: Optional Are You Thinking of Buying New Email Marketing Software? What considerations should you look at when it’s time to purchase email marketing software? Before you buy, it might behoove you to step back and ask a few critical questions. Among key considerations, you’ll want to consider the type of software you need to achieve your overarching goals, the kinds of and extent of personalization you want to provide, and whether your investment will be worth it in the long haul. 10 Questions to Consider Before Adopting New Email Marketing Software Here are ten questions you should think about before adopting new email marketing software or a more all-encompassing marketing solution (of which email is a core tenant). 1 Do we need new email marketing software — or something more all-encompassing? In today’s multi-touch retail environment, it’s never been more important to be channel-agnostic. How does your email strategy fit into your overall marketing strategy? If email is at the core — as it should be for any e-commerce company — adopting a separate system or standalone ESP is a huge mistake. Data will be siloed, communications will be fragmented, and the experience customers have will be isolated only to what you know about them via one channel. So, what do you really need? An email provider, or a solution that connects email with everything else? 2. Can I create the experiences I want to create? Forget about email... for just a second. What experiences are you trying to create for... --- ### GDPR Compliance: How it's Affecting U.S. Companies - Published: 2018-11-06 - Modified: 2018-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/gdpr-united-states-companies/ - Categories: How to - Tags: ecommerce trends, GDPR - Translation Priorities: Optional In the five months that have passed since GDPR went into effect, the main question surfacing among commercial entities that collect customer data seems to be “so, how did we do? ”While some progress has been made in these months and should be recognized, we still have some work to do as a collective unit. Since the enactment of the GDPR back in May, we’ve seen U. S. companies inch closer to compliance and invest somewhat significantly in GDPR-related initiatives. Talks of national legislation that would govern our use of data, domestically, are also starting to intensify — perhaps partially to protect themselves from European customers and regulatory bodies who might pursue data-related misconduct of U. S. brands. Nonetheless, as global data privacy complaints have mounted, U. S. businesses have taken notice and are getting more serious and more committed about data privacy. GDPR: Has Progress Been Made in the U. S. ? During the earliest rumblings of GDPR going into effect (a year ago and further back), no one really knew what to expect or what to actually do. But since then, industry rhetoric has prompted a groundswell of data-related undertakings in order to get acquainted — and compliant — with the new law. And, at least in America, we’re making some progress. 3x times as many companies are now GDPR-compliant than in 2017 (from 4% to 12%), according to research from TrustArc. By the end of 2018, 74% of companies expect to be compliant, and nearly all brands (93%) project full compliance by the end of 2019. Somewhat surprisingly, the... --- ### 4 Ways Artificial Intelligence Is Making Marketers Smarter > Artificial intelligence marketing adds a new team member to your team — one whose IQ is light years beyond any human.

The very name of the underlying technology hints at its wonder and, in a sense, its translucent or synthetic nature. To simplify dissection of the term, it’s an intelligent source, but it’s also artificial. In this sense, artificial doesn’t mean “not real” — AI is very real and is already serving as a game-changer for marketing teams across the globe. Think of AI as an added mind or team member to your marketing efforts, one whose IQ is light years above any human. This new hire can understand customer behavior and intention, can reason and draw conclusions based on data, can make judgments about what’s most likely to happen, and act with a greater vantage point than humans can and at much greater scale. AI makes you smarter by doing reconnaissance on your entire database (and even on potential new audiences), informing you of all possibilities, making recommendations and suggestions for best courses of action along the way, and executing on those insights. "Think of #AI as an added mind to your #marketing efforts (one whose IQ is light years above any human)," says @AllenNance CLICK TO TWEET It’s your own built-in marketing “intelligence” agency — and quite literally makes you look, seem, act, and operate smarter with every stroke of the keyboard, every campaign created, and every customer touched.

Mobile optimization goes beyond simply having responsive web pages. Optimizing for mobile, today, encompasses the entire customer experience across all marketing strategies, channels, and potential interaction points. Being mobile-optimized means creating wonderful mobile browsing experiences with seamless shopping and checkout processes, frictionless in-app experiences, as well as smoothly executed push notifications, right-time SMS updates, and more across every stage of the customer journey. Brands epitomizing mobile optimization design their website to be exceptionally usable and convenient for mobile users. Their website almost always looks different on a mobile device as opposed to the desktop view, for example, because they go to great lengths to create device-specific interactions — yet maintain a “channel-agnostic” approach so that visitors get amazing experiences regardless of how they interact. Drizly exemplifies mobile optimization. The user experience is consistent across all platforms. Source: App image: BusinessOfApps Mobile-optimized brands create consistent experiences across all connected/mobile devices. Mobile browser experiences, for instance, are as swift as desktop, and in-app interactions are smooth, simple, and personalized. Why are more e-commerce teams starting to pay attention to mobile marketing? Mobile is EXPLODING! If you sell products online, designing for the mobile is a must. Retail m-commerce sales continue to trend steadily upward, and, around 2020, over half of all e-commerce sales will take place on a mobile device.

True one-to-one marketing interactions today go far beyond using your name. The brands that have really mastered personalization present enticing product recommendations, abandoned cart emails, and use unique codes and coupons per individual. The best marketing today reads the thoughts of customers, and even foretells the future (okay, not literally, but you get the idea, right? ). It helps customers by giving them exactly what they want and even offers predictions as to what they are likely to want next. How can this all be done? Artificial intelligence marketing. AI — today more of a buzzword than well-understood technology — is designed to optimize marketing tasks, tools, and outputs. It’s on the verge of transforming our roles and is serving as a catalyst to the evolution of e-commerce. Global marketing organizations are using AI and its subset technologies — machine learning and deep learning — within their strategies to unify the entire customer experience with “that little extra. ” More than half of global marketers are using AI for personalization, to understand cross-channel customer behavior, and manage interactions.

Customer data management (CDM) is the way that brands keep track of, store, and use all of the information — collected from every digital and offline touchpoint — about their customers. CDM can quickly become quite complex in the e-commerce space and for any brand that communicates with customers across their website, mobile, social media, and other channels. Obtaining AND maintaining clean customer data is a critical component of CDM. Without accurate and authentic data, management of it is useless. Brands that ignore CDM or don’t keep processes to maintain clean data do so at their own peril. The same can be said for CRM (Customer Relationship Management) data. If a brand is not properly assessing the interactions between the business and their consumers, they run the risk of basing sales decisions and tactics on unreliable data. This post will explore the best ways to collect, store, use, manage, and derive value from your customer data, plus offer tips to ensure data cleanliness. Why Is Customer Data Management So Important? First-party acquired customer data is the lifeblood of your organization. It’s the truest form of information about your customers because they gave it to you in confidence and in exchange for a promise of value, in anticipation of information about discounts or deals, or directly during a transaction. Customer data that you collected is owned by you, and is, in fact, one of your greatest assets and competitive advantages.

Customer Acquisition Matters One common denominator sits at the core of every successful, profitable, and self-sustaining e-commerce strategy: acquiring new customers. Customer acquisition is all about getting unknown website visitors to willingly subscribe to your brand. Doing so rests on your keen ability to prove that the value exchange (handing over personal information) will be worth it. #CustomerAcquisition means getting anonymous website visitors to willingly subscribe or purchase — which means proving the value exchange will be worth it CLICK TO TWEET Ultimately, if you want to increase revenue and turn unknown contacts into active customers, you have to optimize your website for conversions and provide personalized experiences — which will help you sit a notch above the other brands all vying for that same customer. There are many ways that today’s most successful and innovative brands are getting anonymous contacts to give their information and become known members of their community/database. We’ll show you how to use 5 tactics, including: Classic acquisition box or sign-up forms Entry overlays as soon as contacts land on your website Banners or ribbons that sit at the top of your web pages Re-permission forms (which help toward further GDPR compliance) Strategic exit-intent popups Best practices for website acquisition According to web marketing... --- ### Revenue, Conversions, and Retention: The Key Metrics of a Healthy Growing Brand > Top-performing SAP Emarsys clients are driving revenue by making strategic decisions around customer acquisition and retention.

So how are we doing year-over-year, and what’s a “good” revenue growth rate? Across all the verticals we serve, we see a median revenue growth of 8% year-over-year (shown in Chart 1).

Can we all agree that one core purpose of marketing is to generate maximum conversions for minimum investment? If we can, then we can also concur that: Obtaining that audience/community/database needs to be accomplished as strategically, efficiently, and cost-effectively as possible -- which requires enhanced methods of acquisition and intelligent marketing An ever-evolving digital landscape requires that we adjust with new and novel approaches; and that What worked in 2000 -- just having a website, blog, social presence, and running digital ads where we think our targets spend time -- certainly won’t work in 2018 If a core purpose of #marketing is to generate maximum conversions for minimum investment, then we must be intelligent, novel, & strategic w/ modern-day approaches CLICK TO TWEET As a forward-leaning digital brand, how can you prepare for the next five years and cultivate your community in the most effective way?

Customers no longer shop on a single channel; instead they bounce between several channels during research before ultimately purchasing through their preferred channel, making omnichannel marketing campaigns more valuable than ever. In an effort to win loyalty, marketers should be creating every possible chance for engagement with their contacts. And what better way to do that than by meeting customers in the channels where they prefer to browse or purchase?

B2C marketing automation usage continues to steadily rise. Roughly 400,000 of your peers use automation tools, and by 2020, that number will reach half a million. Source Mar-tech has evolved in every aspect from system capacities and capabilities to channel-specific features. The automation space is metaphorical crockpot, equal parts (increasingly complicated) software, (increased customer) data, and blueprints, campaign coordination tools, and the like. Complex as the systems and software may be, marketing automation affords us, as marketers, the ability to create personalized experiences that were previously unimaginable — or at least which we used to be incapable of creating for massive audiences at scale. And with the inflated expectations among your customers, the time is now to begin to leverage B2C marketing automation software in the right ways that allow us to create real value. But the (first) question to ask isn’t what marketing automation platform you should use, or what features can drive the most ROI. It isn’t how much storage or data or processing the platform can produce. The question is this: “how can I use marketing automation tools in the best way to create the most utility for each individual customer based on who they are and what they like? ” Using Marketing Automation for Utility As Jay Baer recently explained at Revolution Las Vegas, “We have access to extraordinary technology that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

How can you keep your IP from being blacklisted? How can you be sure your emails are being opened and read rather than unsubscribed from or deleted outright? What kind of content affects the chances of inbox placement versus your message being marked as spam? Separating fact from fiction isn’t as cut and dry as you might think. We’ve created the ultimate list of 15 email deliverability myths to help ensure you’re on the right track. General Email Marketing Myths 1. Email marketing is dead and emails won’t be read. Let’s get this one out of the way first. Email offers the best ROI of any digital channel with a median ROI of 122%! Email is not dead -- it's STILL the hottest commodity out there. 2. More emails = more revenue. Quantity sometimes -- but not always -- has something to do with revenue. A better way to think about amount is that more valuable emails will lead to more revenue. Sending to frequently leads to irritated customers who don't want repetitive, annoying emails... those will result in lower deliverability and less business. 3. Mass sends to broadly segmented lists are good enough. Just because something’s the status quo doesn’t mean it’s the best you can do. Brands using personalized emails are seeing these more relevant messages outperform standard mass sends. Are you sending relevant content that’s... --- ### What These 5 Amazing Companies Do Will Make You Rethink Your Marketing - Published: 2018-04-10 - Modified: 2018-04-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/5-amazing-companies-will-make-rethink-marketing/ - Categories: General, How to, Thought Leadership - Tags: customer data, ecommerce trends - Translation Priorities: Optional What brands do you use most (think mobile apps)? Come up with one or two in your head. Chances are, at least until now, you haven’t put an excessive amount of thought into why you use the apps/platforms you do or what they do differently than every other company -- you just know you use certain social platforms or apps like crazy. They have “it,” whatever “it” is. If you thought of Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, or Facebook, then, like almost everyone else in the world, you’re a consumer of one or more of today’s most valuable companies. Though these “Fearsome Five,” as they’ve been dubbed, have been the world’s most dominant brands for the last five to ten years, they weren’t even in the top 20 just two short decades ago. What’s changed? And what do these brands all have in common that make them so different -- so valuable? It has to do with their market share, sure. Each has revolutionary technology and owns a large portion of their respective market. But how and why? The answer has to do with data, channels, and the experience each offers. SourceWhy are Google and Apple noticeably more valuable than the rest? Time and data. Apple and Google are more than brands that sell -- they are ingrained in our lives, the foundation for some of our most basic daily tasks. iPhones are as much a part of us as our own hearts, and the constant use of these devices and associated apps gives tremendous value... --- ### Personalized Marketing: Everything You Need to Know - Published: 2018-04-06 - Modified: 2023-10-26 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/personalized-marketing-everything-you-need-to-know/ - Categories: How to - Tags: content personalization, personalization, personalized marketing, website personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional Personalized marketing can be a make or break experience for customers when it comes to your brand standing out from the competition.

Personalized marketing is the implementation of a strategy that deploys individualized content to contacts through the collection of data, data analysis, and the use of automation technology.

One word that best describes how you view the state of marketing today: Elementary. Tell us a little about your background and how you got to where you are today. PR 20/20 originated from a feeling of desperation and a moment of inspiration. Sitting at my desk in February 2004, I had grown weary of the billable-hour battle being fought every day, and the marketing agency world’s obsession with meaningless metrics (e. g. impressions, ad equivalency, PR value) to validate outputs that had minimal impact on the bottom line. I believed the industry needed a “new vision,” so I typed “ PR 20/20” at the top of a blank page, and began writing my manifesto of sorts. That document served as the basis for an evolved agency model based on standardized services and set pricing. I launched PR 20/20 in November 2005 after 21 months of planning. It was the most exhilarating... --- ### 5 Big Data Examples to Boost Your Next Email Marketing Campaign - Published: 2018-04-03 - Modified: 2023-04-13 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/5-big-data-examples-boost-next-email-marketing-campaign/ - Categories: General, Thought Leadership - Tags: big data, email marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Big data refers to a data set that is too large and complex to manage without advanced database management tools or marketing automation solutions. The term certainly isn't new, but wise marketers are using it every day. That's because they know big data remains a critical piece to unlocking the full power of personalized email marketing. When used correctly -- by both the marketer and by the machine (AI, machine learning, etc. ) -- big data can make it possible to send timely, relevant emails to your customers or contacts. And we all know by now that customizing emails for each individual is well worth it: personalized emails that leverage the right data sets improve click-through rates by 14% and conversions by 10% (Aberdeen). And, according to Experian, personalized emails drive 6x higher transaction rates. So, how can you use big data in your email marketing campaigns? 5 Big Data Examples to Boost Your Email Campaigns When it comes to “big data,” we want to start by, ironically, keeping our campaigns small and focused based on what data we can isolate and use in actionable ways. We also want to think about “who” (the customer) and “what” (the experience) we want to do, as opposed to what data we want, in order provide a more customer-centric experience. Think less about data or segments, and more about experiences. What end result do you want to achieve? Then, determine what data you need to enhance and personalize that email experience. 1.

One word that best describes how you view the state of marketing today: Evolving. Tell us a little about your background and how you got to where you are today. I started my career in journalism, working on the editorial side at newspapers before transitioning into marketing (spoiler: newspapers were not a booming business 15 years ago, either). Being a journalist required understanding people, their motivations, and what would get them to talk. Transitioning that into marketing meant leveraging those emotional drivers that get people to buy. In marketing as in journalism, it’s all about the right messaging to the right people. I’ve sold knights on horseback to moms of 10-year-old boys (Medieval Times), red-carpet jewelry to celebrities (Ylang 23), the perfect centerpiece bowl to newlyweds (Nambé), and the right MOLLE gear for a weekend at the range (Cheaper Than Dirt).

For many marketers, the problem with marketing today isn’t a lack of knowledge or skill to create personalized campaigns, but a shortage of time. With so many different opportunities to collect so much data from customers, there’s no way for a single person to take that data, uncover insights, and then set up automated marketing campaigns for each individual. Human-driven personalization just doesn’t scale. Artificial intelligence marketing is the solution to that problem.

German Print Company Needed to Stand Out from the Competition The print business in Germany is a highly competitive industry, once entirely dominated by brick-and-mortar companies. As e-commerce has evolved, the print playing field has opened up to any company who can identify their customer and then accurately target and establish a relationship with them. That means that smaller print e-commerce companies have to capitalize on the best digital marketing channels at their disposal. It starts with email, but could easily branch out into website, mobile, and push notifications. Related Content: Owning Email Success in a Mobile-First World PosterXXL knew it had to win new customers away from the competition. And it would have to do it all online, using email. Choosing the best email partner was an intimidating task because there were tons of ESPs in the German and European market. A “typical” email consultancy would not suffice for posterXXL; they needed something exceptional and not just a new piece of software that would be pitched as the only solution they’d ever have to buy. PosterXXL needed an edge that would give them a chance to disrupt the print competition.

They knew me as well. "Veggie burrito bowl today, ma’am? " they’d ask. Oh, I used to live off of those things. And although the vegetarian burrito bowl was my standard choice, they began to know me so well that they would sometimes recommend specials or new menu items they thought I might like – and they were almost always right! The team knew me so well that I grew to expect that kind of personalized treatment – they knew me, they knew my name, and successfully predicted what I wanted based on previous interactions. Many boutiques, small retail stores, and local restaurants that thrived in the pre-digital era provided these "personalized experiences" anytime because they quite literally knew you. As consumers, the value we place on personalization hasn’t changed and our expectations for it have only grown. But the techniques and platforms that enable personalization have transitioned from in-person to online. And as a brand, if you’re trying to create personalized experiences in the digital world, your website is your best bet to capitalize on this promise. There is now an incredible opportunity to set your brand apart from the competition by leveraging your website as your most valuable, strategic marketing channel.

They are still opening emails, reading them, and purchasing products because of them. Email is still the number one channel for ROI (among all digital marketing mediums) for a reason. It works. But expectations of emails have changed — and rightfully so. The more success marketers find with email marketing, the more we try to exploit the channel for more wins. We’re sending more emails with more offers than ever before. One problem. If we’re all sending more emails, our contacts are receiving more emails. Now take a step back and rethink your email strategy. Are the emails you’re sending strong enough to cut through the clutter to reach each of your contacts? Is the contents engaging enough to earn clicks from your contacts and result in purchases? Chances are they’re not. Customers are no longer accepting stale, one-size-fits-all emails, rather they expect to open an email and find it tailored to their needs, wants, and expectations. And many emails fall short of this expectation. Many are developed and deployed using old strategies that gave many marketers success years ago, but simply aren’t as promising anymore. Many marketers are stuck in the past -- relying on strategies and tactics that worked once, but now fail to deliver the same rush of results. The pressures on marketers are building to produce the same results with outdated strategies and tactics. 4... --- ### Why Email Has Become our Digital ID, & How Marketers Can Leverage it for Omnichannel [Expert Quotes] - Published: 2018-01-24 - Modified: 2018-01-24 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/email-digital-id/ - Categories: How to - Tags: email marketing, retargeting - Translation Priorities: Optional Email is the most effective digital communication channel and delivers the highest ROI (email marketing generates $38 for every $1 spent) of any marketing tactic. It’s also the key to unlocking a consumer’s entire Internet-based life and, thus, your omnichannel marketing strategy – but it all starts with the Digital ID. The Digital ID is your pot of gold when it comes to understanding customers’ online behavior. It’s the centerpiece of who they are on the Internet – a lens into nearly every crucial aspect of their digital footprint. Essentially a customer’s email address, the Digital ID can help you understand where customers have been spending time online, what they’re purchasing, and even what they’re likely to purchase in the future. An email-first mentality is the gateway for any company that wants to be “omnichannel” and, ultimately, fulfill their customers’ insatiable desire for personalized browsing, shopping, and overall brand experiences. And it’s all based on consumer movement, data generation, and the Digital ID. What is the Digital ID? Before we jump into what, exactly, the Digital ID is, let’s look at why it matters. In today’s digital universe, consumer technology has changed the game for digital marketers. Email is the one constant amid a sea of movementIf there’s one word to describe the ebb and flow of behavior and consumption of popular consumer technology, apps, and devices, it’s movement.

Even though I love my job, there’s a well-defined line between my work life and my fitness life. That’s why I’m so envious of Stephanie Peterson, CMO at Runtastic, and her team. Runtastic, an Adidas-owned, Austria-based mobile fitness brand, was formed with the purpose of helping people lead their best lives – and connecting with its customers through engaging content, coaching, and community experiences. It built, owns, and operates about two dozen fitness-related mobile apps. Runtastic allows its user base of more than 90,000,000 customers to develop personalized fitness plans, track their workouts and progress, and even compare workouts with other users. Using its namesake app, Runtastics users can track numerous metrics like distance, time, pace, and calories across 18 different languages. They can also sync their data to Runtastic. com for analysis and tracking. Source But with a growing user base across multiple apps, devices, and channels, Runtastic needed a way to unify all its customer data and provide relevant, engaging communications to subscribers. Runtastic needed to use data collected via its mobile apps to execute timely, relevant emails and in-app/push notifications.

Do you know them well enough, for example, to predict what they’ll want to purchase from you next? While some patterns are obvious, like Black Friday sales, the further detail you go into with each customer, the more complicated your predictions become. At the recent Emarsys Revolution event in Berlin, Physics Professor and Founder of BlueYonder, Dr. Michael Feindt, spoke about the state of prediction today and how artificial intelligence (AI) is taking data analysis far beyond what humans can do on their own. Knowing Your Customer in an Uncertain World Data not only helps us understand what happened in the past, but also provides clues about what we can expect to happen in the future. Some things like recency and spend amount can follow defined patterns that you can translate into a personalized email or offer. Without a technology solution, you might be able to sift through the data for a single customer by herself in a day. Now think about doing that for thousands of customers, each with thousands of data points. That’s where marketing teams begin to look for software or third-party services to scale all that analysis. And because predicting customer behavior as a central strategic activity for marketing, we must go beyond finding faster ways to make sense... --- ### Building vs. Buying Marketing Automation Software: Pros and Cons [Infographic] - Published: 2018-01-11 - Modified: 2024-01-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/build-vs-buy-marketing-automation-software-infographic/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: automation, new marketing technology - Translation Priorities: Optional Building your own, AI-enabled, complex marketing automation software in-house could cost the equivalent of: Buying 1,000,000 acres worth of “lunar land” on the moon ($30M) + Buying 10 Koenigsegg CCXR Trevitas – the world’s most expensive car ($48M) + Floyd “Money” Mayweather’s payday from the McGregor fight ($100M) + Netflix' payout to keep Friends on its docket through 2019 ($100M) + PepsiCo’s market value ($160M) + Building the Titanic (adjusted for today – $174M) + Buying America’s largest mansion, a 29-bedroom palace in the Hamptons ($200M) ...

It’s been a year of a lot of political and societal commotion and change. In the midst of it all, the retail and e-commerce space has seen its share of changes, too, as companies have been focused on: Speed and ease. Most retailers have been focusing on eliminating unnecessary steps for customers (e. g. frictionless customer experiences). Amazon Prime is setting the standard for quickness in terms of delivery – and companies like Target and Walmart are following suit. More digitally-focused (as opposed to in-store). For the first time in 2016, online Black Friday sales eclipsed in-store sales. The trend continued this year with U. S. retailers generating $7. 9 billion in Black Friday sales (up 18% from last year). The majority of progressive brands have prioritized the online experience – making it swift, pleasing, painless, and personal. Personalized (customized on a 1:1 level) experiences. Many consumer brands are beginning to understand that mass email distribution, static web product recommendations, and manual segmentation of data are no longer cutting it.

Even for experienced email marketers, there's always room for improvement when it comes to tailoring welcome emails for new database contacts. Sure, most brands clearly understand the need for some kind of subscription confirmation email, but there are still so many bad welcome emails being sent, despite a huge amount of collective drum banging from ESPs. Why Are Welcome Emails So Important? Any company that is exploring the effectiveness of email marketing needs to understand what makes welcome emails so important.

Traditional, static, boring, salesy emails are both outdated and unwanted – so we have to go beyond the basics. From initial buyer research to the purchasing process and beyond, email is still the best option for delivering your messages to a wide audience. Personalization is the common thread that should be woven into your email strategy across each stage of the customer lifecycle. Email personalization means so much more than customized subject lines or using the recipient’s name in the body copy. Sure, that helps, but true personalization means delivering customized content and recommendations to individual consumers without any manual data crunching, segmentation, or the like. The most challenging aspect? Doing so across the entire customer journey. Here’s how. Delivering Amazing Personalized Emails Throughout the Lifecycle The three events/behaviors of the online shopper’s journey include browsing, cart placement, then fulfillment or purchase. Let’s take a look at how you can deliver amazing personalized email content throughout the customer lifecycle. Stage 1: Browsing When a customer is just browsing a site, it means they’re doing a bit of research before making a buying decision. They may not know exactly what they want or what they’re looking for – or even if they’re going to purchase from you. With personalized email recommendations, you can inform, interest, and engage potential shoppers during the consideration phase.

There are 5 easy tactics you can infuse within your email marketing strategy to supercharge your personalization. Learn how to use custom incentives, dynamic CTAs, and more. As marketers in the retail world, we often have a more keen awareness of when, where, and how brands are marketing to us. After all, even though we may live, breathe, and speak marketing, we are consumers first and we experience marketing the same as anyone else (perhaps with a tad more scrutiny). And as consumers, we understand that personalization no longer means seeing our names populate in an email. We’ve come to expect far more than that. We demand a unique experience in exchange for our hard-earned dollars. Personalization means seeing offers, products, and messages explicitly selected for us, as individuals. It means experiencing a brand on our preferred channel, at the exact moment that it is most convenient. #Personalization goes beyond using names in emails. A unique #CX is the expectation, says @hollypels CLICK TO TWEET Personalization has moved beyond a nice-to-have. Yet even as the masses are clamoring for 1:1 experiences, very few companies are deploying true 1:1 marketing personalization.

I'm writing this post from somewhere over the Atlantic. I'm currently traveling back to Indianapolis from Berlin following the inaugural Emarsys Revolution event. After spending a few days immersed in marketing, technology, and excitement on delivering more personalized customer interactions, I find myself as part of one of the most captive audiences marketers have today: I'm a traveler. This trip – with its combination of international travel and insights on how to deliver more personalized, meaningful customer interactions – has me thinking about the many opportunities marketers now have to improve traveler experiences before, during, and after the journey. Think about it: flight delays, gate changes, baggage claims, seat availability, destination weather, airport transfers – all of these are subject to change at a moment’s notice. They all have the potential to throw off an entire day of travel for hundreds of people. Thankfully, I've been lucky today with a smooth journey (thus far). But my experience could be so much better. So much more effortless. So much more personalized. But I know my days of micromanaging the many details of my travel are numbered. It's going to get better. How do I know?

But how do you know which key metrics to focus on, and how to measure each? Quit wondering whether you’re judging your email marketing performance with the right metrics — experts clear the air on what, exactly, to start measuring. Roughly 46 years ago, the first email was sent. Twenty years after that, in 1991, the very first commercial email was blasted out from a computer company called Digital Equipment Corporation (now a part of Hewlett-Packard). Though some customers complained, the mass email resulted in $13M worth of sales. Ever since, savvy marketers across the world who have made email the nucleus of their strategies have been trying to maximize its potential and figure out how to measure its effectiveness. Advancements in marketing technology (including the explosion of ESPs) — along with a heightened awareness of the value that email provides and a more microscopic concentration into its potential — have made email marketing a core focus for most marketing teams.

Multiple dependencies were needed during the module setup and the faked connections were only available through an Observable object. To make things even harder, no built-in assertions were available for the requests. The Angular team knew these problems, so with Angular 4. 3 they introduced a new module called HttpClientModule that intends to replace the existing HttpModule and make usage and testing easier by providing straightforward interfaces. In this tutorial I’ll show write tests with the new HttpClientModule. Getting started First we will test a basic request, the GET request. It will call an url without a body or additional headers. The Github API has an endpoint for retrieving public profile information about users. The profile information is returned in JSON format. The getProfile method sends a GET request to the API and returns the response. Every request made with the HttpClientModule returns an Observable. The returned value is the parsed JSON response body. Writing the first testThe first thing we have to do is to set up the test dependencies. The HttpClientdependency is required. If we don't provide it, we will get this error message: No provider for HttpClient! . Angular provides the HttpClientTestingModule that resolves every dependency needed for HTTP testing. There is no more tedious setup: you don’t need MockBackend and BaseRequestOptions as dependencies and the factory method for Http won’t be necessary, either. Below you can see what the previous setup looked like. Multiple lines collapsed to just one module. Let’s use the new setup to write the first test that checks the result of the request.

Omni-channel personalization is the key to skyrocketing your profits. This infographic shows you why and how.

Here’s the scenario: your team has determined it’s time for a new marketing platform. You’re ready to make the switch, and then it hits: where do you start? For most B2C marketers, this means sending out a Request For Proposal, or RFP. Unfortunately, it can take a significant amount of time to create an RFP that addresses all of the individual requests a robust and innovative marketing team may have. How do you know what to ask? What key points should be included? How can you justify this purchase to your executive team? If these questions sound familiar, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many marketers struggle with the RFP process because, quite honestly, it’s a pretty big deal. Making the decision to choose a new marketing platform and invest in new technology is not to be taken lightly. There are so many different aspects of marketing technology solutions and RFPs in general, and with the marketing technology landscape changing rapidly, it can be difficult to know what to include for future innovation. 1. Does this marketing platform address the goals and objectives we are trying to accomplish?

The cost of not being omnichannel is lost customers. Give customers the flexibility to check product availability on any device; make a product reservation on any device; and purchase the product any place, anytime An omnichannel marketing strategy helps marketers harness more power; but ultimately it gives customers the enhanced experience they’re looking for.

In reality, they refer to very different approaches to a marketing strategy and resulting customer experience. What's the difference between omnichannel and multichannel? It's one of the most commonly misunderstood questions among marketing teams today. Since online consumers are surfing the web, browsing your website, and jumping among multiple devices like never before, B2C marketers must be ‘in the know’ when it comes to integrating their different communication channels.

Yet, today, we are quickly arriving at a major tipping point where companies who have been slow to explore AI will find it harder and harder to catch up to those who have already adopted and implemented AI tech in their marketing plans. The results are myriad, further convincing the hesitant and technophobic that AI’s here to stay and increasingly essential in any modern marketing environment. Business decision makers already see AI as a revolution engine, finally addressing something humans can’t do: make sense of billions of pieces of data in the moment. However, in the world of real-time B2C marketing campaign execution, there is a gap to mind, a disruptive chasm between the AI marketing solutions that are available and how ready marketers and business leadership teams are to adopt AI. Recently, Emarsys commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a survey of 717 business leaders and decision makers on how ready they are to take on AI.

But you also know there are a few strategies you can use to increase the chances of getting a few slimy swimmers. You know the bigger – and more populated – the pond, the better the chances of reeling in a couple good catches. So you don’t sit for hours in the wrong pond. You go to where the fish are. Of course, having appealing bait also helps; you don’t cast your reel without a little squirmy snack. And if nothing bites after some time, you can slightly change your location, which might help to attract new fish... or maybe entice the ones who previously swam on by without being tempted by your offering. You’re just retargeting them. It’s in this exact way that marketers can think about engaging (and reengaging) potential customers with targeted, engaging CRM advertising where they’re spending their time in the social sea.

In fact, these new technologies are entering the market at such a fast rate that marketers risk being overwhelmed and falling behind on the latest trends. Marketers aim for the best means of communication between themselves and the customer, and tactics and trends such as personalized marketing strategies have become the ultimate tool for today’s digital marketers to achieve this target. For B2C marketers, the challenge to remain contemporary can be even more difficult, as not only do they have to stay ahead of digital marketing industry trends, they must also work with ever-changing consumer needs and preferences. One of the biggest overarching themes in B2C marketing today is the concept of personalization: using customer data collection and analysis to deliver truly one-to-one content to target audiences, thus engaging current and potential customers by communicating with them as individuals, not members of a segment or list. These personalized marketing trends have become increasingly popular among consumers, and a recent Forrester study reported that 77% of consumers have chosen, recommended, or paid more for a brand that provides a personalized service or experience. Additionally, according to a Loyalty 360 article, over 78% of consumers will only engage with offers if they have experienced personalization in their previous brand engagements.

This strategy can help marketers drive conversions, boost engagement, and improve overall customer loyalty. Today’s consumers have an almost insatiable appetite for increasingly personalized content from their preferred brands. They recognize that it allows for a more relevant and, subsequently more enjoyable, experience, and they are proving it with how they spend their money. A recent Accenture report claimed that 75% of consumers are more likely to buy from a retailer that not only recognizes them by name, but also recommends options based on past purchases, and 59% say that personalization influences their shopping decision. The Ultimate Guide to Building a Personalized Marketing Campaign Brands today clearly need a well-planned personalized marketing strategy, but this can be tricky without a clear plan of the resources and technology required to do it correctly. Implementing the Right Technology When it comes to personalization, data and automation reign supreme. Collecting and analyzing critical consumer data is how marketers can create informed, personalized content for their customers. That can be extremely overwhelming when it comes to finding the time, resources, and expertise required to organize and analyze high volumes of data, and then apply the results to optimize and personalize marketing efforts. This is where implementing the right technology can make this process easier and more... --- ### INFOGRAPHIC: The Roadmap to Omnichannel Excellence > Omnichannel doesn’t happen overnight. Brands must follow the roadmap to achieve excellence, taking the journey one step at a time. Learn how to do so. - Published: 2017-06-19 - Modified: 2023-10-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/infographic-roadmap-omnichannel-excellence-2/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: marketing strategy, omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Perhaps you’ve been using email to encourage your customers to buy online and in-store. But have you found it virtually impossible to manage all the data that is created as a result? It would be great to be able to leverage that data to create united, personalized experiences across other channels, but the mere concept of omnichannel marketing just feels too overwhelming. Yet, an omnichannel marketing strategy is clearly the direction today's most successful brands are headed. How will you ever accomplish it? The reality is that few companies start out trying to build a complete marketing philosophy all at once. At Emarsys, we have found that many of our most successful clients conquer just one channel at a time – and many begin with email. Take a hard look at the way your email channel operates and make the necessary optimization changes. Then to see where you need to go from there, take a look at our Omnichannel Roadmap infographic. To learn more about this approach and how the entire process works, get the white paper: Omnichannel Marketing Excellence Starts with Email. --- ### How to Measure the Success of Your Email Campaigns - Published: 2017-06-12 - Modified: 2017-06-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/measuring-email-campaigns-success/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional Email campaigns are still the number-one engagement channel, and sit right at the core of any successful marketing strategy. Today’s marketing teams are under increased pressure to continuously prove impact, effectiveness, and ROI for their marketing campaigns. This is particularly true for email marketing. According to technology research firm Radicati, the number of email accounts worldwide continues to grow, from over 4. 1 billion accounts in 2014, to an expected over 5. 2 billion accounts by the end of 2018. The total number of worldwide email users, including both business and consumer users, is also increasing, from over 2. 5 billion in 2014, to over 2. 8 billion in 2018. With that sort of volume, it is increasingly difficult for marketers to cut through the noise and engage their target customers. There are many ways to improve the quality and engagement potential of emails, including some of the most basic practices that are easy to overlook when you’re moving quickly, as many of us so often are. For example, ensuring the sender’s name and the subject line are spelt correctly is certainly a good start (come on, you know you see this mistake too often). Conversely, since each email client typically handles images and attachments differently, it’s important to check that the ALT text, (the text that shows up in place of a blocked image), contains no typos and is appropriate for the image it represents. This is a small but important detail that is easy to overlook. Finally, marketers should make sure the... --- ### 3 Tips to Improve Your Cross-Device Marketing - Published: 2017-06-09 - Modified: 2023-10-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/3-tips-improve-cross-device-marketing/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional A person searches for a product on a mobile device, then purchases said product on a desktop, or vice versa. Sound familiar? It should. Gone are the days where customers relied solely on a brick-and-mortar storefront for the entire customer journey. The internet ensures that today’s customers are constantly connected to brands all around the world, accessible at any time, from any device, from any place. In fact, a recent study from retargeting company Criteo found that 36% of shoppers utilise two or more devices to complete an online purchase. While this may seem overwhelming, it can also present immense opportunity for those brands willing to work within today’s cross-device world. When it comes to cutting through that noise, marketers face a tough battle, but clearly one that is worthwhile. The first step is to understand how cross-device behaviour works. That means learning how to gather and use data to best understand the customer’s buying behaviour and provide a consistent, top-tier experience no matter where they are shopping. While the brick-and-mortar store certainly still matters, the customer may also visit a brand’s various social media sites, blogs, emails, and, of course, the brand website. And they will increasingly do so from multiple devices, including a range of different mobile devices. 3 Ways to Better Target Cross-Device Shoppers Given the way today’s customer is changing and evolving, how can marketing teams keep up? Below are three ways marketers can best work with shoppers, on any device, to provide the best cross-channel... --- ### 4 Real World Data-Driven Marketing Examples - Published: 2017-06-07 - Modified: 2023-10-26 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/4-data-driven-marketing-examples/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: data analysis, marketing strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional Today’s digital marketers have seen a massive influx of new channels, tools, and platforms designed to help collect and analyze data on target customers. Data-driven marketing allows marketers to stay relevant in today’s highly competitive B2C world; by staying up-to-date on the latest trends and resources, they are able to build successful data-driven marketing strategies tailored to their specific target audience. Digital marketers know all too well how the whims and preferences of their customers can change in an instant. Using the extensive amount of customer insight collected from big data analysis allows brands to predict these changes and, subsequently, future consumer behavior. Successful data-driven marketing strategies are built using these big data insights and analysis, collected through consumer interactions and engagements. By understanding existing data, potential data, and how to organize, analyze, and apply that data to improve their efforts, B2C marketing experts can optimize and personalize the customer experience. That personalization allows their brand to foster overall customer loyalty and stand out from the noise of today’s digital landscape. Four Data-Driven Marketing Examples But how can data-driven marketing truly fit within today’s modern business strategy? Outlined below are four real world examples to show just how successful the implementation of a data-driven marketing strategy can be. 1. Retargeting Audiences Consumers are constantly bouncing from device to device, and from platform to platform. When a customer purchases or browses on a website, why not continue to target them regardless of where they are? Retargeting is the term used when... --- ### 4 Biggest Challenges Marketers Must Face - Published: 2017-05-30 - Modified: 2022-03-17 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/4-big-challenges-in-marketing/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: personalization, unified customer profile - Translation Priorities: Optional Pressure from executives, other marketers, and even consumers, makes it extremely difficult for marketers to see past daily execution and tactical work to focus on strategy and innovation. Here, we’ve outlined four of the most difficult challenges in marketing today, and what you can do to successfully overcome them. Challenge #1: Increasing Customer Expectations Modern consumers have more control now than ever before. Thanks to the rise of mobile devices, broad accessibility of internet, and the abundance of resources, consumers have 24/7 access to the information and interactions they want, whenever they want them. This means they’re extremely well-informed and consume an immense amount of content before making any purchasing decisions. Not only are customers typically conscious of marketing tactics, they also have very high expectations when it comes to brand interactions. Solution: Personalized Content Today’s consumers expect innovative, personalized shopping experiences, and when a brand doesn’t deliver, they notice. In order to meet these rising consumer expectations, marketers must deliver exceptionally targeted, personalized content. With an abundance of new technology and solutions, it’s now easy for marketers to deliver this ideal brand experience without added resources or hassle. Challenge #2: Crowded Marketplace What’s another drawback of today’s social media-heavy consumer marketplace? There is an abundance of noise: emails, text messages, blog posts, Facebook videos, and many more, are all competing for a few precious seconds of consumer attention. The challenge for marketers is to break through this noise while simultaneously delivering on the promise of strong, personalized content. Solution:... --- ### If You Send Email to Orange UK Addresses, Your Deliverability Is About to Take a Hit > Orange UK is on the brink of deactivating all their addresses, and your email deliverability is in danger of taking a hit. Find out how you should combat this. - Published: 2017-05-10 - Modified: 2022-03-17 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/emailing-orange-uk-affects-deliverability/ - Categories: How to - Tags: email deliverability, email marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Shortly after Verizon announced that they were getting out of the email business, the UK’s Orange followed suit, making a similar exit from hosting email for their customers. The parent company, EE, is the largest digital communications company in Britain, supporting over 31 million connections across its mobile, fixed, and wholesale markets. Beginning on May 31, 2017, EE will be closing Orange Email, a brand that encompassed a host of other services they acquired over the years. Instead of providing a new platform for affected users, EE is encouraging them to sign up for Gmail accounts instead. That means that if you have subscribers in your email database using the following domains, you’ll want to start recommending that they update their contact profiles within the next few weeks. Affected domains: orange. net orangehome. co. uk wanadoo. co. uk freeserve. co. uk fsbusiness. co. uk fslife. co. uk fsmail. net fsworld. co. uk fsnet. co. uk At Emarsys, we have hundreds of thousands of the above addresses active in our customer databases, and as a result, we highly encourage marketers to make the most of the time left before Orange permanently closes their doors and deactivates the remaining addresses. How This Impacts Your Deliverability Email is the #1 ROI digital channel, but if an email doesn’t make it to an inbox, it doesn’t matter how personalized or timely it is, it’s a missed revenue opportunity. Once these domains are deactivated, any email sent to them will bounce and the address will be suppressed from your mailing list. This means that you lose both the opportunity to communicate... --- ### 4 Ways Marketers Can Better Leverage Customer Data - Published: 2017-05-01 - Modified: 2023-05-11 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/4-ways-marketers-leverage-customer-data/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: data analysis, data science - Translation Priorities: Optional When it comes to making strategic decisions, marketers turn to numbers and data to help them know where to focus their efforts. One integral source of this data is the very group brands are trying hardest to attract: the customers, or potential customers, themselves. Customer data opens the door for marketers to take scientific steps based on numbers, rather than just going by pure guesswork. Here are four ways that marketers can leverage customer data to increase conversions, clicks, and (ultimately) revenue. Let’s get started: 1. Create a Unified Customer Profile When incoming customer data is collected and stored in holistic customer profiles, it immediately starts informing both decisions and strategy. For B2C marketers especially, it’s crucial to know exactly who your audience is, what they are looking for, and what drives them to make buying decisions. Collecting customer data at every touchpoint, including email clicks, in-store campaigns, website browsing history, mobile interactions, and so on, gives marketers the chance to build these unified profiles across the customer’s entire buying journey. Marketers can leverage these customer profiles to optimize campaigns and ultimately increase customer purchase revenue. With rich customer profiles, it becomes easy to send the right audience the right message, at the right time, when one takes into account all of the data housed in these profiles. This includes recognizing returning online customers and presenting relevant information for maximum conversions. 2. Know Exactly Where to Focus Collecting, analyzing, and leveraging customer data also enables marketers to know exactly where... --- ### Weekend Bias in Send Time Optimization - Published: 2017-05-01 - Modified: 2023-10-24 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/weekend-bias-in-send-time-optimization/ - Categories: Behind the Tech - Tags: data, data science, machine learning - Translation Priorities: Optional As data scientists, we are responsible for the whole process of implementing machine learning algorithms for the benefit of our customers: from choosing problems and algorithms to follow-up measurement and refinement. After an initial implementation of a new algorithm, we have to watch closely how it performs in real life and quickly iterate together with Product and Software Engineering to eliminate performance bottlenecks and respond to important effects we did not prepare for. In this post, I will tell a story about how a supposedly minor difference between A/B testing groups can shift a whole experiment. It started with a routine follow-up of a pilot using the new algorithm, but as more and more days passed, it became apparent that what we saw was not random noise but an important effect we did not yet understand. We brainstormed about possible causes and what we should experience if one of our assumptions was an oversimplification. Then we carefully checked each of these ideas until we understood what was behind the scenes. The Machine Learning Part The objective came from our customers: send emails to each of their contacts with the best possible timing when the contacts are the most receptive. We thought about and tested many different approaches and chose a slightly modified multi-armed bayesian bandit algorithm. We decided on sending time based on previous success of different send times. We assume each contact has an open rate in every two-hour slot of the day and they open each email sent in... --- ### What is Data-Driven Marketing? Definition & Examples > Marketers use data-driven marketing insights pulled from the analysis of big data to form predictions about future behaviors. Learn how you can create or improve your data-driven marketing strategy. - Published: 2017-04-27 - Modified: 2023-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/data-driven-marketing/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: big data, marketing strategy - Translation Priorities: Optional Although there are many reasons why companies use data-driven marketing, more often than not, its intended goal is to enhance and personalize the customer experience. To provide more clarity around the topic, we’ve outlined common challenges and key advantages of data-driven marketing, in addition to example applications. What is Data-Driven Marketing? Data-driven marketing has transformed from an innovative approach to a fundamental part of advertising and business strategy; it can now be defined in several ways, but at the most basic level, it can be explained as follows: Data-driven marketing refers to strategies built on insights pulled from the analysis of big data, collected through consumer interactions and engagements, to form predictions about future behaviors. This involves understanding the customer data you already have, the data you can get, and how to organize, analyze, and apply that data to better marketing efforts. This type of marketing is different from traditional marketing in that it allows marketers to connect with customers in the right place, at the right time, and with the right offering. Traditional marketing involves a lot of trial and error when it is not supported by solid data and analytics. Data backed marketing allows for further personalization, enhanced targeting, and precise benchmarking so that marketers can continue to improve their strategies over time.   The Benefits of Data-Driven Marketing Both businesses and consumers can gain a lot from taking a data-driven approach to marketing. When strategies are implemented successfully, such benefits include: 1. Personalized Marketing It’s essential that companies... --- ### Top 5 Uses and Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Marketing > Artificial intelligence marketing (AI marketing) enables marketers to create personalized consumer experiences that cost significantly less than traditional campaigns.

The term tree-shaking was first introduced by Rich Harris’ module bundler, Rollup. It has been made available by the static nature of ES2015 modules (exports and imports can’t be modified at runtime), which lets us detect unused code at bundle time. This feature has become available to Webpack users with the second version. Now Webpack has built-in support for ES2015 modules and tree-shaking. In this tutorial I’ll show you how tree-shaking works in Webpack and how to overcome the obstacles that come our way. If you just want to skip to the working examples visit my Babel or Typescript repository. How Tree-Shaking Works in Webpack 2 The way tree-shaking works in Webpack can be best shown through a minimalistic example. I’ll compare it to a car that has a specific engine. Example Application The way tree-shaking works in Webpack can be best shown through a minimalistic example. I’ll compare it to a car that has a specific engine. The application consists of two files. The first one holds the different engines as classes and their version as a function. Every class and function is exported from its file.   The next file describes the car with its engine and serves as the entry point for our application. We will start the bundling from this file. After defining the car class, we only use the V8Engine class, the other exports remain untouched. When running the application it will output ‘V8 Sports Car’.

Luckily, marketers also have marketing automation to support their efforts. This ever-advancing technology has the power to help increase leads, drive conversions, and ultimately generate more revenue. Furthermore, the most advanced marketing automation platforms are far more than support tools, they are actually changing the marketer’s role by streamlining, or even eliminating, the more tedious day-to-day tasks in their workloads. Automation has quickly become a critical component of today’s successful marketing strategies. It can boost sales productivity by 14. 5% on average, and reduce marketing overhead by 12. 2%. The ever-increasing number of platforms and channels means customers are easier to reach than ever before and, as such, marketers are eager to implement cross-platform, omnichannel campaigns. But to run these campaigns and reach customers efficiently and effectively, brands must push the capabilities of their marketing automation platforms to take over some of the more operational tasks, allowing them to allocate more time and energy to strategy, content, and creativity. By pushing their automation platforms to do more of the tactical work, marketers can dedicate more time to focus on business-critical, high-level aspects of marketing strategy. They are able to think strategically and be more creative, producing higher quality content and customer messaging. That high-level thinking, added to the efficiencies of automation, can create the best-case scenario of more leads, better productivity, more revenue, and generally more success for both the marketing team and... --- ### 5 Examples of Successful B2C Marketing That Will Make Your Head Spin - Published: 2017-04-03 - Modified: 2023-10-26 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/5-examples-successful-b2c-marketing-head-spin/ - Categories: Customer Stories, General - Tags: best practices, omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional For any savvy B2C marketer, it’s crucial to meet consumers at the most appropriate time, with a perfectly tailored message to ensure conversion and retention. Nonetheless, consumers nowadays consumers have more outlets fighting for their attention than ever before. This excessive ‘noise’ means that brands must go above and beyond to engage, convert, and retain customers. Businesses that focus on B2C marketing need to observe their customers closely. It’s critical for B2C marketers to understand the needs, wants, and challenges of their customers. By concentrating on their target audience, marketers can create personalized messages that better address their customers’ needs. 5 Successful B2C Marketing Examples Here's a look at 5 successful B2C marketing examples that will make you want to rethink your strategy in the upcoming months. 1. Reminder Emails Reminder emails are a great way to connect with consumers, by delivering timely, important messages. These reminder emails help keep brands top-of mind (and top-of-inbox! ) with customers, and also help facilitate upsells and conversions. Some great examples of reminder emails come from car companies; below is an innovative example from Nissan. By collecting necessary customer data and efficiently organizing this data into profiles, Nissan can quickly segment their customers by when they purchased their cars. Nissan can then use marketing automation solutions to trigger reminders to their customers about upcoming maintenance appointments, service updates, and other special offers. 2. VIP Programs VIP programs are a great way to increase engagement and drive customer loyalty. These programs allow ‘white glove’ customers... --- ### 4 Expert Tips for Staying Relevant with Customer Wants & Needs - Published: 2017-03-31 - Modified: 2017-03-31 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/4-tips-for-staying-relevant-customer-needs/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: customer lifecycle marketing, expert insights - Translation Priorities: Optional For today’s marketers, understanding customers is priority number one. Every decision should be backed by customer data, helping to refine messaging and increase conversions. In order to know exactly where to focus time, energy, and resources, B2C marketers must have a strong understanding of what motivates consumers to engage with, and ultimately purchase from, a brand. Unfortunately for marketers, ecommerce is a constantly changing industry. New trends and fads emerge constantly, influencing customer interest and engagement without warning. The only way for marketers to gain a true understanding of what motivates consumers is to first understand their wants and needs. Here are four expert tips for B2C marketers to stay on top of customer motivations, and help drive engagement. Tip 1: Collect Customer Data - and Use ItThe first tip is to stay current with customers. This means collecting incoming data across campaigns, platforms, channels, and devices. Gathering engagement metrics and conversion statistics helps identify the types of messaging in which customers are interested, what they are responding to, and which campaigns aren’t performing to expectations. Once this customer data is collected, it’s time to put it to use. Marketers can segment consumer metrics based on various factors: demographics, location, buying habits, etc. If sifting through these large data repositories seems daunting, fear not, the rise of marketing technologies such as machine learning, marketing automation, and Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the role of the marketer – enabling them to leave the data analysis to machines and focus more of their time on critical strategy and content. When... --- ### What Is the Impact of Marketing Automation? - Published: 2017-03-29 - Modified: 2023-04-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/what-is-impact-of-b2c-marketing-automation/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: automation, customer lifecycle marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional To some, the words "marketing automation" can trigger panic mode. It can be difficult to identify where to start with any advanced marketing technology, and automation solutions are no different. But fear not, it’s actually quite easy to get up and running, as long as goals have been clearly defined. Marketing automation is a go-to strategy for good reason: it helps boost employee productivity, streamline workflows, and increase conversions. It can be tempting to try and do everything at once, which can quickly spiral out of control if you’re not ready. It’s okay to start off with a few smaller projects and workflows, and then steadily build-out your marketing automation platform. Why Marketing Automation Matters Automation allows you to control and run complex campaigns with ease, with minimal to no manual effort, reaching highly segmented audiences, at ideal times for maximum ROI. When customer communication and engagement is automated, you can spend more time focusing on high-level strategy and creating high-impact content. Marketing automation can also help engage customers and draw them into 1:1 conversations with brands. Whether this is just an email at the top of a consumer’s inbox, or a direct message responding to their social media post, marketing automation helps brands stay in touch with their audiences. Getting Started with Marketing Automation Getting started with marketing automation can be easy, if you know where to begin. Simple recurring campaigns, such as welcome programs, automated response emails, and re-engagement correspondence can be a great jumping-off point. These messages... --- ### 3 Steps to Build Customer Loyalty in Retail > The best way to build customer loyalty is to form relationships with your customers. Explore 3 steps to help build customer loyalty in your retail business - Published: 2017-03-17 - Modified: 2023-05-25 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/retailers-build-customer-loyalty-at-scale/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: customer loyalty, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional For any large retailer, it can be a bittersweet trip down memory lane to recall the first group of customers that became loyal to your brand. As retailers grow and scale, it can be difficult to recapture that one-to-one intimacy you had with core customers early on, when the brand was just being introduced. Back then, you likely had more bandwidth to interact directly with individuals, and you took that intimacy seriously, as every customer interaction mattered to your brand’s success (or failure). With the growth of innovative marketing technologies and B2C solutions, it’s now possible, and even easy, for retailers to recapture this intimacy at scale. If you want to build customer loyalty for your retail business, use the following tips to develop positive relationships with your existing and potential customers 1. Build one-to-one relationships with omnichannel marketing The secret ingredient to building these one-to-one consumer relationships on a larger scale is omnichannel marketing (which, keep in mind, is completely different from multi-channel marketing). Omnichannel marketing is a sales approach that strives for seamless customer engagement. But what does it have to do with building customer intimacy? When marketers implement multichannel strategies to engage customers across channels, devices and platforms, and leverage customer data to create personalized messages, customers are drawn back into an intimate relationship with the brand. This is because they’re treated as unique individuals, not a batch-and-blast group. Omnichannel marketing isn’t without its perks, either. In fact, according to Aberdeen, companies with well-defined omnichannel customer experience strategies... --- ### What Can B2C Marketing Automation Do For Your Business? > Marketing automation tools are a must-have for today’s marketers.

With more cross-platform, omnichannel campaigns to run than ever before, there is so much to accomplish, and consumers expect brands to have their marketing locked down. Automating the key operational aspects of B2C marketing campaigns enables marketers to get more done with fewer resources, increasing efficiency, output, and effectiveness. With marketing automation tools at their disposal, marketers are able to double down on high-quality content creation and strategic planning. For B2C marketers, automation means more chances to get in front of the right consumers for higher conversion rates and increased revenue. So, how exactly can marketing automation platforms help marketers do more with less? Here are just a few ways they can help: 1. Reduce Cart Abandonment Rates Abandoned carts are an ongoing plague to modern marketers. According to eMarketer’s Q1 2016 research, the digital shopping cart abandonment rate is high worldwide, at 74. 3%. Marketing automation can help reduce cart abandonment rates, by automatically sending triggered emails to those who left unpurchased items in their cart. Automation tools help marketers optimize these emails, including how long after logout to send reminder emails, and even help generate the most compelling subject lines to ensure the emails are opened. 2.

Naturally, MarTech vendors want your business, so they’ll find a way to make their technology work for you. According to Gartner, 33% of marketing budgets go to technology. With this, marketing leaders can demonstrate how technologies and automation help increase productivity, implement more successful marketing tactics, and boost results. To avoid making uninformed or impulsive decisions about your marketing technology, we recommend asking yourself a few questions to objectively verify the most suitable contenders. 1. What’s the challenge I’m trying to solve? Before thinking about marketing technology providers, you must answer this question. Even the best marketing technology can’t help you if you haven’t clearly defined what you truly need. One of the most common problems we regularly hear from our customers is that their first-time buyers don’t return to make additional subsequent purchases. If this is a challenge your company faces, ask yourself how can you leverage marketing technology to improve customer retention. 2. What data can the technology capture? Once you’ve confirmed why you’re investing in marketing technology, focus on how exactly it will help you overcome obstacles. For example, how will it not only collect, but also go on to apply data? Technology will base its customer analysis and automation on the data it collects, so it’s important to make the platform you chose can collect the data you want, help you analyze, and empower you to make smart decisions. For example, do you want transactional data (real-time... --- ### 3 Key Benefits of Real-Time Marketing Automation - Published: 2017-03-07 - Modified: 2024-01-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/3-key-benefits-real-time-marketing-automation/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: automation, email optimization - Translation Priorities: Optional Before getting started, lets define what real-time marketing automation is. Simply put, marketing automation is powerful software that aims to automate marketing processes. Marketing departments use automation software to more efficiently manage tasks that are more repetitive by nature. This includes emails, SMS messages, social media, online advertisements, etc. The end goal of marketing is to help drive conversions, boost leads, and ultimately generate more revenue. The Importance of Real-Time Marketing Automation Finding enough time in the day to manually do what it takes to remain competitive in today’s constantly moving, digital world is impossible, for even the largest of marketing teams. In addition to constantly thinking of new, creative marketing strategies, they must also listen and respond to consumer demands, as well as industry trends. For those reasons and more, marketing automation solutions have become more prevalent in today’s marketing landscape. But, for the savvy marketer, it isn’t just about automation. While being able to schedule and control all campaign aspects across multiple platforms and channels from a central location is crucial, being able to do so in real-time, throughout every phase of the customer lifecycle is becoming even more important. Marketers must be able to reach consumers with the right message, at the right time, through the right platform or device.

Measuring performance against key metrics has become an essential aspect of every marketer’s life. But, in order to drive results for their business, ecommerce directors and marketing managers need new types of hard numbers – they need data insights that can truly influence strategy. We’ve compiled metrics to help you to define a clear plan of action. We’ve called them Smart Metrics, and these performance indicators play a fundamental role in our customer intelligence platform. In short, Smart Metrics are built with predictive modeling algorithms and are typically categorized into three groups. 1. Predictive Revenue This category is calculated on revenue related metrics such as the future lifetime value of contacts in each lifecycle stage. This is particularly beneficial as you can evaluate how much you need to spend in order to convert/retain/win back each customer. It also provides the predictive gain and loss for the last 30 days, combining the revenue generated by conversions and the future changes to customer lifetime value, so you know how the conversions, or lack thereof, within each group will affect your bottom line in the future. This metric is instrumental when deciding your next best move. Predictive modeling allows you to forecast the financial implications of specific strategies and campaigns. For example: You could see a defecting buyer has a 15% likelihood of converting, and an inactive buyer has a 2% likelihood. This makes it clear that what you are currently doing for... --- ### The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Marketing Automation - Published: 2017-03-03 - Modified: 2024-01-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/beginner-guide-marketing-automation/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: automation, customer engagement - Translation Priorities: Optional Even if someone is just starting out in the world of marketing, they’ve probably heard the term “marketing automation” many times before. But what exactly does this oft-heralded strategy actually entail? How can marketers go about choosing and implementing a marketing automation solution for their businesses? And what types of results should they expect to see? We’re happy to present the Emarsys ‘Beginner’s Guide to Marketing Automation’, which will help to answer all these questions: What is marketing automation? What should an organization look for in a marketing automation solution? What types of results should marketers expect to see from marketing automation? So, What Exactly is Marketing Automation? Let’s start at the beginning. Marketing automation, in simplest terms, enables marketers to do more with minimal manual effort. From email marketing, to social media, to complex multi-channel campaigns, automation solutions enable marketers to run all aspects of marketing strategy with ease, from a single holistic platform. Automation solutions are triggered by a predetermined set of rules and then the solution fires off certain actions to specific audiences. This detailed segmentation means that the right message hits the right audience at the right time for maximum conversion. Automating workflows and processes on the back end frees up more time for marketing professionals to focus their time and energy on creating high-impact content and formulating winning marketing strategies. Marketers can also use the immense amounts of data uncovered during marketing automation processes to test and refine marketing tactics, often referred to as ‘optimization’... . --- ### What to Look For in an SMS Marketing Provider > In today’s consumer landscape, SMS marketing is on the rise.

There is now more to achieve than ever before, with seemingly less time to do it. Marketers are under incredible pressure to deliver on concrete KPIs: increasing traffic, driving leads, maximizing conversions, and ultimately pulling in revenue. The expectations placed on marketers are higher than ever, and nothing short of perfection will do. This widening range of marketing priorities has opened the door for new technologies, designed to address new audiences, platforms, and segments. The problem, however, is that these platforms can actually hinder a marketer’s ability to perform at the highest level. Marketers need tools at their disposal that enable them to move freely across channels without boxing them in, or hindering their ability to execute. It’s impossible to think a marketer can perform at the highest level when he or she is switching constantly between platforms and tools. When data and metrics are also housed in multiple platforms, it’s difficult to make strategic decisions that fully impact the business as a whole. Frequently, these channel-specific tools can result in reactive decision-making and misplaced focus. The New Mobile Marketing Experience More marketers are recognizing the potential of a single marketing platform that allows them to deliver high-quality content and experiences to consumers, regardless of channel. With more consumers than ever before relying on mobile (the average smartphone conversion rates are up 64% compared to the average desktop conversion rates), any intuitive marketer can see where the future lies. And,... --- ### Why Are SEO and PPC Important for E-Commerce? - Published: 2017-02-14 - Modified: 2017-02-14 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/seo-ppc-important-e-commerce/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: ecommerce trends, email marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional So, you have a stunning e-commerce website. It’s visually appealing, easy and efficient to navigate, and is stocked with well-priced goods that are in demand. Now you just have to attract shoppers to your store. For most businesses, a mix of search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) will offer some of the best return on investment. But why, exactly, are SEO and PPC important for e-commerce?   Let’s take a look:What is Search Engine OptimizationSEO is the process of organically improving the rankings of your website in search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Search engines look at a very wide range of constantly evolving factors when deciding which websites to rank, such as:Your content being original, high quality, and relevant to a topic. Your site having healthy backlinks and buzz on other relevant sites, suggesting that it’s important. Your site being well built and following technical standards to enhance the user experience, as well as the abilities of search engines to review your site. Why is SEO Important For Your BrandWhy SEO? With the digital revolution in full swing, consumers turn to search engines like Google to help them through the shopping process. Being on the first page of results for your goods and services allows shoppers to connect with you when they’re actively looking to shop. As opposed to more traditional marketing, like TV, Radio, Billboards, and Print Media, you’re connecting with them when they’re sitting down to shop; these are considered hot leads.

It seems like everywhere they turn, another retail brand is working to gain their attention, dollars, and loyalty. To break through this congested marketplace, an organization’s brand must resonate with customers on a personal level. Whether it becomes a trusted source of the most current fashion advice, a reliable resource for customer service, or a meaningful connection to a mission or cause, an organization’s brand identity can be one of the marketer’s most powerful tools. Like the personalities of the people we know, a brand’s personality is the foundation of the feelings, thoughts, and emotions customers have about an organization. It sets the tone for all interactions they have with the brand across all channels, in-store, online, and everywhere in between. Take, for example, fitness retailer Lululemon. The team at Lululemon has designed a brand where everything down to the logo aims to reflect a specific lifestyle. The company states, “we created more than a place where people could get gear to sweat in, we wanted to create a community hub where people could learn and discuss the physical aspects of healthy living, mindfulness, and living a life of possibility. ” Through careful and thoughtful marketing strategies, Lululemon has incorporated this perspective into the very personality of its brand, and consumers can feel it come through across every channel. Today’s digital and mobile age has given brands more access to their target customers than ever before.

Now it’s time to dig deeper. Persistent XSS This category is a bit more sophisticated than the previous one. It is referred to as “persistent cross site scripting. ” The difference from the reflected type is that this persists across request-response cycles making it a much more useful vulnerability for a hacker. The simplest example is a comments page. You can post your own comments and read what others have to say. Let’s take a look.  It all begins with a new comment. A hacker comes along and submits a malicious comment to the server. Upon receiving it, the server will insert it to its database. If a client wants to look at the comments the server will load them and insert it to the page’s source unencoded. You can guess what happens next: the browser parses the response and executes the malicious code inside it. Boom... The two categories look very similar. The devil is in the details, let’s take a look. The attack consists of the same two phases discussed above. The major difference here is that they are not constrained to a single request-response cycle. In fact, the injection phase is usually carried out by the hacker and victims only experience the exploitation. The attacker can inject the payload to the database once using a single request and infect multiple clients without the need to directly communicate with them. Once the payload is injected it will be delivered to every victim visiting the comments page from then on. This is a huge win for the hacker as this makes the attack much more scalable... . --- ### Why is Multi-Channel Marketing Important? > Multi-channel marketing refers to a brand’s ability to reach customers across various channels.

For these reasons and many others, marketing automation is now imperative for any successful marketing strategy. Marketers need to take into account, however, how their customers are engaging with, and responding to, automated campaigns. Here is a list of 8 more B2C marketing automation examples at work. 1. Continuously ‘Remind’ Consumers About Your BrandDid a customer leave something in their cart without purchasing? Did someone not click on a certain email? Is there a common second purchase that a customer should be aware of? Marketing automation can continuously send reminder emails to keep your brand at the top of a customer’s mind, and inbox. These types of campaigns can include newsletter sign ups, customer feedback emails, and offer emails. 2. Automate Campaigns Across Multiple ChannelsMulti-channel programs are paramount in the age of social media. Customers are everywhere, and your brand needs to be omnipresent. Marketing automation can help reach these consumers on different platforms, at the right time, without spamming them.

Here are 4 tried-and-true examples of AI marketing: 1. Preemptive Marketing With AI, marketers can sift through large amounts of data to determine patterns and trends, and thanks to AI solutions doing the ‘searching’, there is little to no manual data analysis. Once patterns are identified, marketers can preemptively promote solutions, products, or programs to the respective audience segments. A good example of preemptive marketing comes from Netflix and their ‘you may also like’ prompt. Netflix amalgamates viewing data and runs it through their AI programs to pinpoint similar shows or movies a viewer may enjoy. 2. Content Generation Let’s first get this stat out of the way: a significant portion of sports and finance related articles are already written by machines, not humans. With AI marketing, this trend is poised to spread throughout various other industries. Finance and sports are traditionally numbers-heavy industries, which makes it easy for AI programs to understand the data and translate it into human-readable articles. As marketing becomes ever more numbers focused, content will begin to be written (or at least outlined) by automated programs. 3. Sales Forecasting This AI marketing strategy takes conversion management to the next level by analyzing inbound communication against traditional metrics such as consumer engagement, closed business, and communication channels. Marketers can use this data to answer... --- ### 6 Digital Marketing Trends for 2017 - Published: 2017-01-06 - Modified: 2023-01-30 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/6-digital-marketing-trends-2017/ - Categories: General, Thought Leadership - Tags: artificial intelligence marketing, omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Marketing and associated trends are constantly changing, and marketers are tasked with understanding and meeting these changes head on.

Together with big data and machine learning, AI will both revolutionize and optimize marketing through highly targeted, personalized consumer experiences. AI solutions can take large amounts of consumer and market data, segment and analyze this data at a beyond human level, and present findings back to marketers that enable intelligent campaigns and execution. With artificial intelligence solutions on their side, marketers can focus on high-impact strategy, content, and execution. 2. Proliferation of Mobile Today, more people than ever before are ditching their desktops for mobile browsing activities. With more than 29% of all e-commerce sales in 2015 coming from mobile, the trend is only expected to rise in 2017. Marketers are going to have to allocate a considerable amount of resources, time, and energy to mobile-focused strategies.

Automation and personalization are now key elements to engaging and communicating with consumers. AI marketing efforts rely in some part on the ability to personalize the consumer journey and create incredible and memorable experiences that keep customers coming back again and again. AI Marketing, Big Data and Machine Learning Today, it’s big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) that have taken the spotlight as the new tools of highly effective marketing teams. The results are highly personalized, real-time consumer “experiences” that are significantly lower in cost than traditional high-expenditure campaigns. With these tools, every single interaction a prospect or consumer has with a product, whether through a website, email, or social interaction, is tracked and recorded for future optimization. Machine learning algorithms can collect this data in real time, and immediately personalize experiences unique to each visitor, eliminating the need for static profiles based on outdated or grouped data sets. With this newfound wealth of data, and efficient processes in place, marketing teams can focus on identifying strategies to effectively use this technology to optimize operations and output. Without a well-planned strategy, machine learning can simply become a cog inside a big machine, and AI can become just another... --- ### What is Artificial Intelligence (AI) Marketing?

It’s a straightforward method to find the top-performing version of a website, campaign, or promotion from a series of available options. However, it’s predicated on marketers having the time and the tools available to perform A/B testing. With so many tools out there that can get the job done, it becomes mostly a question of time management. The Good Let’s start with the good part about A/B testing: if you’re already testing, then you’re ahead of the curve. This is because you have already realized that in this fast-paced and changing world of technology, you can’t get it right the first time. You might have good ideas and years of experience to rely on, but that’s not enough to stay ahead of the competition and remain actively engaged with the needs and desires of your consumers. To make sure your assumptions about your consumers are still valid, you need to run tests, even if just to prove you got it right. The Bad "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so. " – Mark Twain When A/B tests are not properly performed, they can cause more harm than good. For example, if you act on early results it's easy to assume that you picked the right ‘winner’ and that you’re done. Only when you start analyzing the results a few weeks or months down the line do you... --- ### 3 Challenges to Creating Meaningful, Actionable Data - Published: 2016-08-01 - Modified: 2016-08-01 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/3-challenges-to-creating-a-meaningful-actionable-data-environment/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: big data, customer data platform - Translation Priorities: Optional The challenges facing today’s marketers are far more complex than deciding whether to promote a 20% coupon or free shipping. Gone are the days when simple segmentation and the basic set of automated messages were enough to satisfy your shoppers and bring in the sales. Consumers now demand personalized experiences that engage their constantly evolving shopping habits. Retailers feel the pressure to offer a dynamic shopping experience across multiple devices and channels.  This is why actionable data is more important than ever. What Is Actionable Data? Before jumping into all of the details, what does actionable data really mean? Actionable data refers to information (or data) that provides sufficient insights and perspective into the future for key decision makers to confidently take action. Ultimately, this helps drive smarter, faster business decisions. When leveraged properly, actionable data provides companies with insights that help produce more personalized experiences for customers. We realize that these tasks can seem overwhelming, but the good news is that  have evolved alongside these more nuanced consumer behavioral changes. How to Create an Actionable Data Environmentpart of the Emarsys B2C Marketing Cloud, offers retailers a way to build unified profiles for consumers across devices, channels, and platforms. This data is used to drive predictive models and showcase behavioral trends that retailers can use to overcome the challenges outlined above. The key is to have your data drive actions without human intervention, which inevitably leads to delays and potential inaccuracies. An actionable data environment allows you to recognize the full value of your data. 6 Examples of Actionable DataTurning... --- ### Are You Ready for IRCE 2016? - Published: 2016-06-03 - Modified: 2016-06-03 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/are-you-ready-for-irce-2016/ - Categories: Innovative Perspectives - Tags: marketing strategy, SAP Emarsys events - Translation Priorities: Optional The annual migration of e-commerce professionals to Chicago’s McCormick Place has begun.

While larger complexities likely loom, such as defining channel attribution rules and pushing archaic Point-of-Sale (POS) systems to their limits, you are probably trying to figure out more tactical ways to keep in-store shoppers engaged when they leave stores empty-handed. One key tactic that can help you to build a foundation for future marketing efforts in this tangled, multi-channel madness is in-store customer acquisition. If you’ve been around a while, you may remember the days when this meant handwritten email addresses at the register. You’ll also remember the unmotivated cashiers who never collected the addresses, or the nightmarish data that was scribbled down. As funny as some of those fake addresses were, that primitive process often led to major deliverability issues. Thankfully, the days of in-store customer acquisition being chained to the counter have passed. This means you have more opportunities to learn more about your store shopper and get them to opt-in to receive your marketing messages. Here are three ways to expand your in-store customer acquisition: 1. More Advanced Point-of-Sale Systems Wait, wasn’t I just criticizing acquisition at POS? Well, yes, I was. The reason is that many retailers are simply doing a poor job of it. If you have a primitive POS system, your staff will need training to effectively communicate a value proposition as incentive for the customer to share their email address. Improving that... --- ### 3 Ways to Connect Online Shoppers to Brick and Mortar Stores - Published: 2016-05-17 - Modified: 2016-05-17 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/3-ways-connect-online-shoppers-brick-mortar-stores/ - Categories: Thought Leadership - Tags: omnichannel marketing, online shopping - Translation Priorities: Optional I bet I can write one word that will make you want to click away from this page. I’ll write it, but you have to promise to stick with me and keep reading. OK, here we go: Showrooming. I think I just heard the collective “Ugh! ” that often proceeds an overused and slightly outdated buzzword that was once the hottest, trendiest topic (“Disruption”, your days are numbered! ). One of the reasons that word has started to lose the power it once held is that the idea of consumers visiting brick-and-mortar stores to research online purchases is no longer new. It’s not a trend. Retailers must accept the fact that consumers have made this part of almost every shopping experience. Think about it, when have you not pulled out your phone in a store to read a review, check a price on Amazon, find additional product photos, take a picture to view later, cart the item to research more later, watch a review on YouTube... I would be so bold to say that if you aren’t doing this, you’re shopping the wrong way. Retailers have started struggling to find ways to connect store shoppers to their sites. These in-store activities are often more challenging to influence, and often the shopper is initiating the action, whether it’s searching for a coupon or a product review. When it comes to connecting online shoppers to stores, many retailers have clung to a few of the early strategies that helped to direct online shoppers to stores. Fundamental tactics such as... --- ### 11 Actionable Examples of B2C Marketing Automation > B2C marketing automation focuses heavily on customer acquisition, customer spend, and customer retention.

Marketing automation is proven to increase leads, conversions, and therefore revenue. It can also boost sales productivity by 14. 5% and reduce marketing overheads by 12. 2%. It’s no wonder B2C technology investment is going through the roof. However, it's still not always used to its full potential and maximum revenue potential is often not reached. What is B2C Marketing Automation? B2C marketing automation focuses heavily on customer acquisition, customer spend, and customer retention. In order to see success in each of these departments, marketers must understand their customers and be able to make data-driven decisions to keep them engaged with products and/or services. Many companies claim to provide marketing automation solutions tailored to B2C clients; however, the reality is that the requirements for B2C are very different. Without these unique elements in mind, your marketing automation will fall short. When thinking about the difference between B2B and B2C, marketers often have similar goals, but very unique approaches due to key factors like: The decision-making process Purchase frequency The customer lifecycle The value of successful B2C marketing automation manifests in its ability to organize, optimize, and act on your customer data. Doing so will accelerate your company’s growth, and help optimize your overall strategy for maximum revenue. 11 Best Examples of B2C Marketing Automation Here are 11 examples of how you can use marketing automation technology to best engage your customers. 1.

But, how exactly is spam determined? Whether it’s an unsolicited message or irrelevant bulk email, the majority of what’s categorized as spam is determined by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. While there are certain rules and legislation that define spam, each ISP creates their own set of rules to help protect their customers from unsolicited emails. While the ISPs don’t publicly publish details about these rules and filters, there are a number of factors to keep in mind that will help your message get into the inbox, including sender authentication, reputation filter and your spam score rating. Are your emails hitting spam filters? Before we dive into specific ways to avoid email spam filters, we thought it would be helpful to point out the key indications that tell you you’re hitting spam filters. If you start to see > 1. 0% hard bounces, > 0. 1% spam complaints, or unsubscribes are > 0. 1%. (Please note these are rough indications that may vary a bit based on your industry). Your customer data, templates and even the content of the email need to play by the rules to avoid being filtered into the junk folder.

Scattered audiences; more diverse, yet fragmented platforms; an ever more competitive environment with marketing efforts that put the days of the TV networks to shame: social media sure is getting complicated! Brands have to be on their toes if they’re going to stay up-to-date with the newest and coolest apps and invest some serious resources to keep up with social media trends – and know which ones to jump on and which ones are just a flash in the pan.   But, how are you going to cut through all that clutter? Here’s somewhere to start. We bring you our global perspective on the top five social media trends that we see dominating 2016. Channeling Your Messages The question used to be "should we be on social? " Companies and brands weren’t quite sure they had a place on this new “chat platform” or that “friend space thing. ” They dug their heels in crying “Danger! ! ! ” ... and ya know what? They were right. Not about avoiding having a social presence, but that it would be a Pandora’s box worth of trouble. There is no place more dangerous to miss your message than on social. Your customers will notice, and what’s more, they’ll be delighted to spread the word about your little mishap. Every social channel has a tone, has a cadence, and is more or less of a fit for that “Free... --- ### 6 Abandoned Cart Email Tactics That Work - Published: 2015-05-01 - Modified: 2023-10-26 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/6-abandoned-cart-email-tricks-work/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: email optimization, shopping cart abdandonment - Translation Priorities: Optional Shoppers abandon 76% of shopping carts, which means $18 billion of lost revenue for the retail industry. (Listrack, 2015) The e-commerce industry will grow by 10% this year (Forrester, 2014), so retail marketers find themselves sharing their digital space with more and more competition. But why focus on spending so much money winning new clients? You could focus on keeping the ones you already have through abandoned cart emails. Did you know that recovering just 1% of your customer base could increase your revenue by 10% (Adobe, 2015)? To help you recover your revenue, we’ve categorized some of the best abandoned cart emails by tactic instead of sector. This means you can learn from the best in the e-commerce business, and borrow ideas from other industries. 1. Shopping Cart Reminder Theory: The shopper got distracted or most likely abandoned the basket accidentally. Action: The commerce site sends them a message to remind them of the type of shopping basket. Examples: Toys’R’Us, Harrods and Photobox 2. New Product Suggestions Marketing technology is able to predict the items a customer is most likely to buy. They find this out through advanced algorithms and online behavior research. Theory: Shoppers abandoned the basket on purpose because they didn’t want the product or found it cheaper elsewhere. Action: Suggest other products the shopper may wish to buy instead of those in the abandoned basket. Examples: Fitbit, EasyJet and Amazon As I’m currently using the free version of the Fitbit app, the Fitbit marketing team knows... --- ### There is No B2B or B2C Anymore: It's Human to Human #H2H - Published: 2015-04-14 - Modified: 2023-01-30 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/there-is-no-b2b-or-b2c-anymore-its-human-to-human-h2h/ - Categories: How to - Tags: omnichannel marketing, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional There is No B2B or B2C Anymore: It's Human to Human “As marketers, we’ve been trained to speak “business to business” (B2B) or “business to consumer” (B2C). But instead of this creating a simple framework for dialogue between humans, it set forth an unnatural language for marketers, using words like “synergy” and “speeds and feeds” to tell the stories of products and services to their buyers and partners. The fact is that businesses do not have emotion. Products do not have emotion. Humans do. 
Humans want to feel something.  And humans make mistakes”. Kramer 2014 This quote is from Bryan Kramer’s new book, There is No B2B or B2C: It's Human to Human #H2H.  The book is based on the premise that B2B and B2C can no longer be so easily defined. Now, Kramer argues that to survive, marketers must appeal to humans’ emotional needs on top of the original need or desire for a product. Simple creatures? Aptly, a human on Linkedin actually recommended that I read Bryan Kramer’s perspective on why marketers must evolve their strategies to focus more on building a customer experience relevant to each individual customer. Sound familiar? Though Kramer’s theory sheds light on how to do this via social, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be considered across all channels. As a life coach, self-help author and motivational speaker, Tony Robbins, specializes in understanding and reacting to human needs. He clearly defines these needs into 6 categories, as outlined below and, as all consumers are human, understanding these... --- ### Next Generation Email: What To Expect - Published: 2015-02-18 - Modified: 2015-02-18 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/next-generation-email-expect/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: email marketing, email optimization, trends - Translation Priorities: Optional We’ve all heard the inflammatory phrase "email is dead" and I’m sure you don’t need me to refute this absurd claim, but I still see posts surmising that social media, group collaboration software and other alternatives will lead to a significant decrease in the volume of emails sent over the next couple of years. On the contrary, email is more important than ever. The fact is that the capabilities of email have changed over the past couple of years, and the greatest change over the next couple of years will be the way we organize, receive and utilize this channel of communication. 4 Predictions to Guide the Next Generation of Emails What does the future of email marketing look like? Such a prediction is, of course, difficult to make. But, let’s be bold. Here are four predictions to help guide the next generation of email. 1. Emails Will Be Organized Automatically Gmail’s tab-based system and their new app “Inbox” is just the beginning of a recent revolution in how (mainly private) emails are displayed. For years, we were stuck with a list view of all our emails, the "full view", and sometimes a preview box where we could see the top part of the email. Now emails get auto-organized into folders by a learning algorithm, so we no longer have to create manual rules. This way of "auto-organizing" will be common practice in a few years for every widely used email app with evolved functionality. By then, it will be... --- ### The 7 Social Media Trends Dominating 2015 - Published: 2014-12-05 - Modified: 2014-12-05 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/7-social-media-trends-dominating-2015/ - Categories: How to - Tags: social media, trends - Translation Priorities: Optional http://www. slideshare. net/emarsysglobal/social-media-trends-2015-draft-18-2 If we had only two or three big social networks out there, the jobs of marketers and social media managers would be a good deal easier. But as it is, the digital landscape has been dispersing, especially over the last 12-24 months. The challenges brands thus face involve a bigger, yet scattered audience; more diverse, yet fragmented social platforms; and an ever more competitive environment with impressive marketing efforts, such as Airbnb’s innovative Hollywood & Vines campaign and the highly successful #ShareACoke campaign (revamped from 2013 and taken to a whole other level of individualisation late 2014  A recent study states that one quarter of the world’s population uses social media.

In short, the job of the digital marketers is ever challenging. I think that sometimes the focus is directed too much towards the channels and the attention is given to see what’s new out there and make sure we’re reaching out to customers and prospects in all channels without real objectives behind what we want to do with the clients (does increase in followers = success? Does it translate to revenue? ). Rule #1: Channels are channels and not objectives. They’re there to facilitate customer engagement while linking it to our (often quantifiable) objectives as digital marketers. Then, what are the key digital marketing goals you most probably ask? There are 3 strategic objectives that digital marketers need to set and measure in order to generate revenue. The 3 strategic objectives are: Convert leads into buying customers Increase the LTV of your customers Win-back inactive and lost customers Let’s look at the customer lifecycle and its journey from a lead to a churning customer. The chart above explains the journey visually, and thus are the strategic objectives: 1.

We are still talking about it being a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be as big a project as we’re often led to believe. At the moment there is a lot of industry buzz about the need for marketers to create a single customer view for their omnichannel marketing efforts. A single customer view is... "... an aggregated, consistent and holistic representation of the data known by an organization about its customers. The advantage to an organization of attaining this unified view comes from the ability it gives to analyze past behavior in order to better target and personalize future customer interactions. A single customer view is also considered especially relevant where organizations engage with customers through multiple channels, since customers expect those interactions to reflect a consistent understanding of their history and preferences. " - Wikipedia The problem I personally have with this stems from working with clients day in, day out during implementation. I can imagine the conversation after our friend in marketing says to the CEO, CTO, COO: "I would like to put ALL of our customer data in one database alongside ALL of the campaign results so we can see what’s working well and where we should spend our money based on our customer lifetime value".

There are many possible starting dates for "the Internet" but the World Wide Web as we know is usually traced back to 1991 when CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) published a paper known as the New World Wide Web Project. 1996 marked another important milestone - specifically for email - when Hotmail became the first... --- ### How to Implement a Successful Marketing Automation Strategy - Published: 2013-10-16 - Modified: 2024-01-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/the-essentials-of-implementing-a-successful-marketing-automation-strategy-george-frey/ - Categories: General, Thought Leadership - Tags: automation, email marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional With the digital landscape continuously growing and technology evolving, marketing automation has become more important than ever for businesses. While most businesses know and understand this, what they often overlook is all that goes into a marketing automation program. Creating an effective marketing automation strategy takes time, planning, and requires input from multiple departments. The good news is that with a successful strategy in place, you will have more insights into customers than ever the before. To help you get started, we’ve outlined common questions below. Get the answers to essential questions surrounding marketing automation to ensure your strategy is successful: Why should businesses take a more strategic approach to marketing automation, rather than just 'bolting it on'? The nature of today’s digital customers – constantly connected and ready to react – has opened the door to ‘multichannel marketing’. This means there is now an array of touch points where your customers can interact with your brand and these have increased the complexity of communication. A lot of behavior is now tracked from email, web and mobile channels, which means marketers are often overwhelmed by the thought of addressing all the potential "if/then" scenarios. The good news is that you don’t have to tackle it all at once – you can make incremental changes to build your strategy gradually and increase the complexity of your campaigns. From our experience, the most successful marketing automation strategies grow with business demands, and this takes place over a period of time. Who should... --- ### The Right Message to the Right Person, at the Right Time - Published: 2013-09-12 - Modified: 2023-05-11 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/the-right-message-to-the-right-person-at-the-right-time-daniel-hagos/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: automation, email marketing, omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Over the Bank Holiday weekend a friend of mine, in a bid to impress me with his knowledge of email marketing, told me about a campaign he found particularly interesting. 12 months ago he ordered a birthday cake for his girlfriend – 11 and a half months later he received a follow-up campaign offering him 10% off any birthday cake purchased. He was impressed that the company had managed to remember his purchase from 12 months ago; I then gave a brief summary of the wonderful world of marketing automation. Email Is All About Timing Sending the right message to the right person at the right time is surely the goal of email marketing. But, how many companies are actually running effective, targeted campaigns? I decided to check my inbox and split the emails that I had received in one day based on relevancy: The results: I received 93 Generic Newsletters of which I read... zero. The most interesting was a lifecycle email encouraging me to complete the sign-up process by providing additional information. Let’s compare this with a recent DMA study in which it was stated “The number segmenting into more than six different audiences rose 28% from 29% in 2011 to an impressive 37% in 2012”: in English, that means it rose by 8% in two years. 37% of those surveyed stated they segment into more than six different audiences. How this segmentation is analyzed I can’t say, but from the 122(! ) emails I’ve received today, the large... --- ### Omnichannel Marketing vs. Multichannel Marketing: What’s the Difference? - Published: 2013-09-06 - Modified: 2023-06-02 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/omni-channel-versus-multi-channel-marketing-alex-timlin/ - Categories: How to - Tags: multi-channel, omnichannel marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional ‘Omnichannel’ is a term that has been popping up in a lot of marketing blogs and materials over the last 6 to 12 months. Internally, we’ve had a little bit of a debate as to what the differences are between omnichannel marketing and multichannel marketing and the question raised was – do we really need another buzzword? The Difference in Philosophy Perhaps we do, because there needs to be some distinction between customers who have a strategy across ‘multiple channels’ and those who have a 'multichannel strategy. ' Our most successful clients use multichannel marketing solutions to create an omnichannel experience for their customers, ensuring they remain at the heart of all personalised communication. Here is a great diagram that really illustrates the differences in each philosophy: https://mimeographs. wordpress. com/2013/07/28/multichannel-vs-omnichannel/ As mentioned, this distinction is only just emerging in some businesses but is already central to the thinking of others. John Donahoe, CEO of eBay, put it rather more directly than most when confronted by a question from a journalist about the threat of ‘f-commerce’ (used to describe Facebook Commerce): “In the eyes of the consumer, e-commerce and retail are now one. It’s just shopping, right? ” As in the diagram above, we do need to take into account different channels and the communication across them, but they shouldn’t work in silos - the customer profile should be as comprehensive as possible and the experience as seamless as you can make it. The Communication Framework We’ve moved on from marketing the same products along... --- ### Welcome to the new GMail Inbox - Lauri Kurki - Published: 2013-07-22 - Modified: 2013-07-22 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/welcome-to-the-new-gmail-inbox-lauri-kurki/ - Categories: How to - Tags: email marketing, trends - Translation Priorities: Optional Lauri KurkiAccount DirectorEmarsys   Welcome to the new GMail Inbox A look at the recent update of Google's GMail service and the consequences for modern email marketing. Despite all predictions to the contrary, the flood of emails reaching our inboxes never seems to recede. New channels such as social media should have led to less email but, thanks to numerous notifications and updates, quite the opposite has happened. Even with the new generation of sophisticated spam filters, which do a pretty good job making sure that only relevant messages get through, the sheer volume of traffic is leading to chaotic inboxes and frustration among recipients and email providers alike. One approach to master this inbox chaos is an automatic categorization. Gmail’s "Priority Inbox" was already a first step in that direction, but now has Google taken it even further and introduced five category tabs, to which incoming emails are automatically assigned. The following five categories are available - you can choose if you want to activate all categories or only some of them: “Primary”: emails of high importance or messages which are directly addressed to you. “Social”: notifications from social media websites such as Facebook or LinkedIn. “Promotion”: offers, competitions and promotions. “Updates”: invoices, order confirmations or updates to support emails. “Forums”: discussions and comments, preferably from online forums.   Assignment of messages to categories is done automatically at the start, but as users reassign and reorder them the system will learn and apply its findings to everyone - another... --- ### B2B vs B2C in Marketing Automation - Published: 2013-06-24 - Modified: 2024-01-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/b2b-vs-b2c-in-marketing-automation-john-fleming/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: automation, customer lifecycle marketing - Translation Priorities: Optional Marketing automation seems to be the latest buzz, with many of the traditional email service providers moving in this direction. But haven’t there always been marketing automation providers? Well, in the B2B space certainly there have been, with a couple of key players providing sophisticated lead nurturing and lead scoring and closely synchronized with the Salesforce CRM. These are excellent ways of managing lead-warming tasks, which would otherwise have to be done by internal sales people or, in many cases, expensive external sales. But what if your business is B2C? Can these marketing automation platforms assist in the way you deal with your customers and prospects? In simple terms, the answer would seem to be a clear ‘no’. Although many may claim to provide marketing automation solutions to B2C clients, the requirements are somewhat different. B2C clients are focused on three areas: customer acquisition, customer spend, and customer retention. Whilst this may seem the same as B2B, there are a number of key differences. The Difference Between B2C and B2B Marketing Automation The Decision-Making Process First, B2B clients tend to purchase relatively high-value goods and take considerably longer to make decisions, and these decisions are rarely made by a single individual. They conduct extensive research before they purchase and often create a short list of companies before they select one to interact with. First, B2B clients tend to purchase relatively high-value goods and take considerably longer to make decisions, and these decisions are rarely made by a single individual.

As a marketer, your key objective is to turn the marketing costs you spent bringing visitors to your website into profit, by converting them into customers. No matter how good your purchase complete page is, there are a number of reasons why your visitors will still leave the website with items still in their cart. Abandoned cart emails, therefore, are an effective way to win these visitors back and help you increase your website conversions. 10 Ways to Improve Your Abandoned Cart Emails Below you can see the top ten tactics to get more effective results from your abandoned cart email campaigns: 1. Don’t Send Just a Single Email If you send your first email 1-3 hours after the cart abandonment, you can typically increase your conversion rates by up to 20%. If you then, after 24 hours, send a second email to your members who still have not completed the process of purchasing, you can improve conversion rates by up to 50%. 2. Think Carefully Before Offering Discounts in the First Email Proposing discounts and/or free shipping in the first email can create unnecessary costs for your company and your customers can exploit this. It is important to consider why the carts might have been abandoned before making a decision. Rather than giving discounts in the first email, offer them in the second email, with a message that emphasizes a sense of urgency... . --- ### Here's Why You Should Use a Recommendation Engine > Find out what product recommendations engines are, what they can do for you, and how relatively simple and (surprisingly) inexpensive they are to implement. - Published: 2013-03-25 - Modified: 2023-10-25 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/heres-why-you-should-use-a-recommendation-engine-ohad-hecht/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: customer engagement, personalization - Translation Priorities: Optional I love Netflix, Pandora, Last. fm, and, naturally, Amazon. They all do a fantastic job in finding what I want, and providing me with relevant product recommendations. They manage to dig in deep into their products and “inflate” the goodies that I really like. I am a loyal customer. Loyalty is brought by understanding customers and delivering to them what they want or value. The wet dream of every marketer in becoming the next Pandora, Netflix, or Amazon, but providing personalized content recommendations as amazingly as they do is hard to achieve: systems need to speak with one another, there’s a need to find meaningful connection between content and the need to thoroughly go through semantics as well as consumer behavior. That being said, the cost of getting all this done can add up very quickly and become very expensive. Once this reality sets in, most managers would start excusing themselves from this undertaking along the lines of “I’m already busy now and have good engagement from my customers anyway. Besides, my IT team has plenty to do without me breathing down their neck... ” Climbing a mountain always looks like a big task, but it always begins with a first step and that deep breath of courage. Let’s discuss quickly what product recommendations engines are, what they can do for you, and how relatively simple and inexpensive (surprisingly! ) they are to implement. What Are Product Recommendation Engines?

Social contact and the exchange of information has never been so portable, or so prominent in everyday life; so why – despite the fact that social media reflects the spirit of the age – is email still favoured as the most effective means of communication and delivers the greatest ROI for marketers?   Email marketing A 2012 UK survey of more than 800 digital marketers, email service providers, agencies and in-house or client-side companies, revealed that 70 per cent still regarded email as an ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ channel, when it comes to offering a great return on marketing investment, whereas only 44 per cent felt that social media marketing did the same. In fact, email marketing is a very powerful and cost-efficient tool, which, if used effectively, delivers all of the five distinct steps in customer lifecycle marketing – reach, acquisition, conversion, retention, and loyalty. In other words, it can convert those with little or no interest in a service or product into prospects; convert prospects into customers; and then maintain positive contact with customers in such a way as to help them become repeat customers.

Alışveriş sepetinde ürün bırakıp çıkan müşteriye önceden ayarlanmış otomatik e-posta mesajını belli bir süre sonra göndererek hatırlatmada bulunup ürünleri almasını sağlayabilirsiniz.

A lot of companies use a call to action in pre-headers in their email marketing campaigns to encourage recipients to open and read their emails - so how can you effectively use pre-headers in your campaigns? Here are some ways we've seen pre-headers used effectively in email campaigns: 1. Include an online version link of the email If people cannot see the full email via their mobile device, give them the option to view it on a webpage to encourage them to click through the email and see what you have to say. 2. Deliver a punchy compelling summary of the email to get subscribers to open the email People are busy. Many people scan emails rather than read them top-to-bottom, and many use Gmail-style text snippets or their email program’s preview pane to determine which emails to read. It needs to be a short and sweet summary that the recipient can quickly glance at. Giving people an overview of why they should read your email can increase the odds that they’ll actually do so. 3. The proper placement The marketing preheader should be in the top left of the email. Your functional preheader text (such as add to address book, unsubscribe, forward to a friend) should be in the top right corner. 4. Character count Be aware of the length of the preheader text that will be displayed in the inbox preview.

Many of us have perfected how to ensure our emails render correctly on desktops, but how do we cater to portable devices with screens 7 inches or less?  Mobile email marketing requires a different approach compared to that of traditional email design. It isn’t really rocket science and can be fairly straightforward. Take these 10 fundamental tips into account when optimizing mobile-friendly emails: 1. Create a mobile version of your email This should be fairly easy with the right tools - you to need ensure that your regular email has a link to the mobile version, clearly visible and clickable at the top of your email. You could even only make a mobile-friendly email and send the same version to all recipients regardless of what device they use to open it. Tips 2-10 will show you what to take into consideration when creating the mobile version. 2. Keep your email width less than 600pixels Your email should already be less than 600pixels for desktop or web clients, but you should take it down a notch for mobile devices. Besides iOS (iPhone devices), nearly all other mobile operating systems do not scale to fit your email to the width of the screen. That includes Android handsets/tablets where users will need to either manually zoom in/out or scroll to view your email in its entirety.

In email, just like in real life, first impressions really count.

While offering an unsubscribe option can reduce the size of your email list, it certainly holds importance.   To prevent recipients from unsubscribing to your email list and build a trustworthy reputation, certain tactics can be applied to your current strategy. Let’s take a look through some of the best practices that should be considered. What are best practices to provide your recipients with a trustworthy unsubscribe option? • Use "one-click unsubscribe" only (this means an unsubscribe via one click in the email and one click on the confirmation page, without having to type at all) • Do not require a login/password. This is also a CAN Spam Act requirement • If you use a form, populate it with email and other required data so that recipients need only click the "submit" button • Provide a "thank you" and "confirmation" landing page immediately after unsubscription, but NEVER send a confirmation email after a recipient has unsubscribed! • Remove the recipients who have unsubscribed from your list immediately, or at least within 24 hours • Test your unsubscribe function/process regularly (this is often overlooked) • Make sure you have the unsubscribe link in the same language as the rest of your email • If you send multipart messages (recommended), do not forget to add the unsubscribe link to the text version of your newsletter • Always use a list-unsubscribe header (standard at Emarsys) to give recipients the opportunity to... --- ### How to Develop Winning Subject Lines - Published: 2011-12-07 - Modified: 2011-12-07 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/how-to-develop-winning-subject-lines/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional As I opened my inbox earlier today and saw 367 emails, I once again thought about what made me open certain emails before others, and why there were some I deleted straight away.   I know that I always look at the subject line first as a habit, before I even see who or where the email comes from. In these times of busy inboxes, high spam rates and fraud alerts, it is getting challenging to keep high levels of engagement across your recipient base. If you’ve followed all the deliverability rules and made it into the inbox of the recipient, it’s a shame if your email goes unopened because of a dull or irrelevant subject line. Writing a winning subject line is not easy however and is very specific to your brand and recipient demographic. Having said that there are always basics which should never be forgotten: 1. Keep it short and to the point Very often subject lines are considered to be a short summary of an email and tend to feature the most interesting information or best-selling products in them. This could be the wrong strategy as most of the information will never be read by your recepient. For the benefit of your brand in the eyes of your valued customer and the ISPs - keep your subject lines under the limit of 60 characters. And if you are ever looking at how long your subject lines should not be, have a look in your junk folder! 2... . --- ### Accreditation logo 4 - Published: 2011-10-10 - Modified: 2011-10-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/accreditation-logo-4/ - Categories: General - Translation Priorities: Optional --- ### Rising Above Email Clutter - Published: 2011-09-05 - Modified: 2025-01-24 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/blog/rise-above-email-clutter-2/ - Categories: General, How to - Tags: email marketing, new marketing technology - Translation Priorities: Optional As I was getting ready to roll out the first Emarsys blog, one thought was sitting in my mind: challenge.

The idea behind it is simple – to get people to re-engage with their inbox. But while the concept is simple at its core, it’s not so easily achievable. Consider two things: Untargeted, email causes customers to disengage with their inbox. Introduction of the Priority Inbox made sending to disengaged customers no longer possible. The Big Three (Hotmail, Yahoo! and Gmail) made sure that unread messages piling up end in the junk folder. Email Service Providers are now advising their companies to look more critically at their databases: to ensure inbox placement senders are advised to suppress email addresses of recipients who had disengaged over a given timeframe (3 -6-12 months since last open and/or click).

The idea behind it is simple – to get people to re-engage with their inbox. But while the concept is simple at its core, it’s not so easily achievable. Consider two things: Untargeted, email causes customers to disengage with their inbox. Introduction of the Priority Inbox made sending to disengaged customers no longer possible. The Big Three (Hotmail, Yahoo! and Gmail) made sure that unread messages piling up end in the junk folder. Email Service Providers are now advising their companies to look more critically at their databases: to ensure inbox placement senders are advised to suppress email addresses of recipients who had disengaged over a given timeframe (3 -6-12 months since last open and/or click).

After a bit of promotion, more and more of our teams started to use this method, so this was a good occasion to review why we like it, share some learnings, and show some basic guidelines and principles to consider when using it. As user story mapping is a very general method, I do recommend everyone interested in the method to read the excellent book by Jeff Patton on the topic. It turns out that when working with similar teams inside one organization, it’s not really useful to always say “it depends on your team/product/problem” to whatever questions people have. There are more similarities than differences between the teams, and people would like to have more concrete recipes to get started. Because of this, I decided to talk about some baseline ideas and introduce a kind of fixed process, while still leaving room for people to iterate and customize as they need. So here are my basic ingredients for using user story mapping. About the Houses... One of the toughest things in introducing new methods is to actually convince people to participate. Even more so with user story mapping, as the biggest advantage of the method is not the actual map that is being created, but rather the shared understanding formed through discussions within the team. Maybe the maps they have already seen were not as impressive or they didn’t consider it as useful. Some may consider this time spent “not working” (=talking) as wasteful.

In 2013, the e-tailer was recognized by Deloitte as one of the 50 Fastest-Growing Companies in New Zealand. They stock more than 25,000 individual fishing, boating, and diving products from the best brands, and their selection continues to grow every day. The Challenge Effective segmentationEffectiveness and speed of a small teamPersonalization and relevancy Marine Deals had a growing audience, but they had trouble separating one customer from another – especially when it came to connecting with their highest spenders. Holistic cross-channel lifecycle marketing was the goal, and automated retention campaigns and recommendations were two possible solutions Marine Deals wanted to explore. The brand also needed to improve the efficiency and relevancy of each communication. In the past, they had to manually put together each email campaign which took a long time and left little room for analyzing how effective retention programs were. In addition to poor performance analytics, personalizing email was impossible without some kind of trigger-based automation and AI product recommendations. The Solution SAP Emarsys had all the email tools Marine Deals had been searching for, and the data analysis that the platform allowed enabled insights about which customers were most likely to convert and why. The Impact Over the course of a year using the SAP Emarsys marketing platform, Marine Deals began personalizing their automated campaigns and recommendations as well as driving revenue through email.

To keep up with the business’s rapid expansion across Europe, the GolfOnline marketing team needed to scale their ability to leverage data, drive customer engagement, and strengthen customer loyalty. The Challenge Segmenting based on customer attributesGrowing customer loyaltyTransform data into actionable insightsCapitalizing on purchase momentumOptimizing results throughout the customer journey With more customers and regions to serve, the GolfOnline marketing team needed to invest more time in differentiating between their different customer types. They lacked effective methods for separating the different types of customers in their rapidly expanding contact database, which hindered their ability to create and deliver personalized interactions at scale. Challenges arose when GolfOnline observed that peaks in customer growth failed to produce sustainable revenue streams, indicating that customers only made one or two purchases before becoming inactive. To address this issue, the brand needed a solution to identify customers most likely to return, automate content execution to encourage repeat purchases, and grow active customers. While the retailer had past success using post-purchase follow-ups, they struggled to match product recommendations with customers as they quickly expanded into new markets. In order to ensure excellent customer experiences across every different journey, they needed a solution to automate 1:1 personalization throughout the entire customer lifecycle. The Solution With data consolidated, GolfOnline was able to lay the foundation for a new... --- ### Increasing Lead to First-Time Buyer by 67% with Automation > Uncover the approach that led to a 67% increase in converting leads to first-time buyers through SAP Emarsys automation. - Published: 2022-06-17 - Modified: 2023-12-08 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/why-emarsys/success-stories/increasing-lead-to-first-time-buyer-by-67-with-automation/ - Translation Priorities: Optional The Business With over 11 million items in their warehouse, Replacements, Ltd. specializes in china, crystal, silver, and collectibles, and is dedicated to helping people create memories that last a lifetime. This focus has grown the business into an $80-million-a-year operation in its 36-year lifespan – an achievement made possible through a commitment to customer-centricity and constantly upping the ante on just how personalized the shopping experience could be. The Challenge Moving from batch and blast emailScaling personalizationOptimizing email performance with automationGaining customer insights through dataUnifying channels Taking care of customers is the foundation of Replacements’ success. Whether they’re looking to replace a broken heirloom, a damaged piece of china, or a priceless collectible figurine that is no longer in production, customers have come to value and trust Replacements for decades, especially over the phone or when visiting their superb showroom. However, Replacements knew their e-commerce presence needed some work to match their in-store and phone service – they wanted to improve their email campaigns and track website behavior. Replacements had developed their own email and CRM systems in-house, but deploying triggered campaigns with no automation proved to be a cumbersome process. While their IT team had built in some 1-to-1 capabilities, Replacements wanted to move faster and take advantage of machine learning and automation while maintaining the same level of customer service offered as in-person interactions. The Solution Moving from a batch-and-blast approach, Replacements used the SAP Emarsys platform to create email campaigns faster and target them more accurately... --- ### Integrating Loyalty and Unifying Data to Increase Average Order Value | SAP Emarsys > Learn how integrating loyalty and unifying data with SAP Emarsys increases average order value with first time buyers. - Published: 2022-06-17 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/why-emarsys/success-stories/integrating-loyalty-and-unifying-data-to-increase-average-order-value-emarsys-2/ - Translation Priorities: Optional The Business Contorion is an e-commerce business serving 110,000 German and Austrian B2B craftsmen and ambitious DIY B2C customers. Founded five years ago in Berlin, Contorion rapidly grew from 20 to 250 employees. The Challenge Creating consistent experiences across all channelsIntegrating loyalty throughout the customer journeyMaximizing efficiency without ITGrowing revenue Contorion’s CRM team needed to find a way to drive additional revenue by capitalizing on existing customers. They knew starting a loyalty program was the answer, but were constrained by limited IT capacity. Contorion built an email-only PoC that resulted in multiple customer enquiries that they couldn’t address because loyalty profiles were email-based. Through the PoC, they achieved a 6% increase in loyalty members and quickly understood they needed an omnichannel loyalty solution to drive higher growth. The Solution Contorion leveraged SAP Emarsys’ Loyalty solution which, ultimately, created less work for the CRM team and boosted retention. The team achieved the following results: True omnichannel loyalty from email to the website loyalty wallet. Seamlessly integrated and launched within a couple of weeks by personalizing all existing channels with loyalty points, status, actions, and rewards.

The company has delivered impressive growth over the last 10 years and has been sustaining its success with a +60% net sales in 2018 while maintaining high customer satisfaction — 96% of Zoomalia’s clients recommend the brand. The Challenge IT dependencies hindered marketing goals Lack of data or insightsScaling 1:1 engagements Zoomalia had a history of building every e-commerce and logistic component internally. Despite growing their team and investing resources into building campaigns for their marketing team, the development team couldn’t keep up with marketing’s requests for new programs, and marketers were dependent on the development team for changes needed for every campaign. The metrics provided were minimal and didn’t shed much light on what had performed well, what appealed to clients, and what led the customer to convert. The company decided to trust an industry specialist to free their IT resources and empower their marketing team by choosing to onboard SAP Emarsys. After one year on the platform, Zoomalia had already automated and personalized their entire customer journey achieving great results. The team wanted to push personalization further to prevent clients from running out of dog food by reminding them on a 1-to-1 level when they would need to place their re-order.

Today, the business has grown to 70+ physical stores and 1. 4 million database contacts, and through digital transformation, continues to accelerate both in-store and online revenue. However, amidst this rapid growth, the brand’s ability to establish and sustain lasting, meaningful relationships with their customers has plateaued. To strengthen customer relationships, prevent customer churn, and drive repeat purchases, CIty Beach needed help scaling their business to achieve 1:1 omnichannel engagement. The Challenge Siloed DataBuild Complete View of the CustomerScale personalization and retentionExecuting cross-channel City Beach was interested in creating unified customer profiles that would merge all of a customer’s online and offline shopping behavior and purchase history. This would allow the brand to better understand their customers’ true LTV, as well as where they are in the customer lifecycle. As City Beach’s database of customers rapidly expanded alongside the growth of their business, it became more and more difficult to treat their 1,000,000-plus customers as individuals. To solve this problem, City Beach sought to turn their data into actionable insights by segmenting their audience according to customer lifecycles, lifetime value, and RFM. With their new retention strategy in hand, City Beach needed the technology to automate personalized experiences at scale.

The Challenge Understand more about customersGrowing efficiency small teamUnderstand and optimize campaign performance When Outnorth was looking for a new provider, their initial goal was to find a solution that would enable them to start creating more dynamic campaigns that would improve their productivity and ability to personalize customer communication. After researching various options, the marketing team’s main requirement was to make sense of the data by revealing information about customer types and shopping behaviors to then infuse their marketing strategy with those insights. Outnorth also wanted to move away from generic send lists, segment data according to their different customer types, and start building individual strategies to target customers. The broad nature of their previous targeting capabilities wasn’t delivering the kind of engagement via email that they were seeing on their website. The marketing team needed to be able to identify and segment their users to maximize relevance without stretching their own marketing resources. Outnorth needed the ability to see how well their email campaigns were performing, including the value and uplift that email delivered. A product range of more than 11,000 items combined with standard newsletter blasts meant that the marketing team had a hard time pinpointing... --- ### Balancing Automation With Human-Led Marketing to Create an Award-Winning CRM Strategy > Learn how balancing automation with human-led marketing creates an award-winning CRM strategy with SAP Emarsys. - Published: 2022-06-17 - Modified: 2023-12-08 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/why-emarsys/success-stories/balancing-automation-with-human-led-marketing-to-create-an-award-winning-crm-strategy/ - Translation Priorities: Optional The Business Beginning with just a £3,000 credit card loan, Bulk™ has become one of the largest and fastest-growing active nutrition brands in the world.

The Challenge Siloed dataScaling personalization with a small teamDisjointed tech stackConsistent, cross-channel execution Before SAP Emarsys, Love, Bonito’s siloed and unintegrated technology stack hampered their ability to provide a quality customer experience. Their ability to personalize digital communications across each stage of the lifecycle was handicapped by tech constraints. Basic email programs took too much time and resources to for the team to activate and they lacked the customer and marketing analytics to inform strategic decision making. Their disjointed tech stack also lead to an inability to personalize communications across key customer touchpoints (more than 60% of customers encounter four or more touchpoints with Love, Bonito’s brand before converting). The retailer needed a single platform to support scalability and future growth plans. The Solution Following a quick implementation after choosing SAP Emarsys, Love, Bonito was able to accelerate business outcomes and optimize their acquisition and retention goals by: The Impact Through channel-agnostic customer-centric personalization, Love, Bonito improved customer acquisition, increased lead conversion and optimized return on advertising spend.

The Challenge Connecting data and channelsImproving efficiency with automationSegmentationOptimizing results throughout the customer journey Previously using a renowned marketing cloud, Easyparapharmacie still lacked many technical resources critical for executing and optimizing their marketing. The time and cost involved weren’t translating into the returns the company had hoped for. Very few automations were possible, which meant that the team was spending a great deal of time performing manual tasks on a regular basis. Lastly, the segmentation was not optimized, which meant reduced visibility into the performance of CRM activities as well as an inability to understand clients on a one-to-one basis, or as a cohort. The Solution Easyparapharmacie onboarded SAP Emarsys, integrating all channels (email, website, social media, and SMS) into a single platform, eliminating the need to navigate between different tools.

The business has grown over the past two decades and now carries 11,000 products from more than 200 brands, including high-end department store brands, professional salon brands, hard-to-find cult brands, and everyday affordable brands. The Challenge Maintaining leading CXFostering loyalty and increasing retentionDriving second purchase Although Adore Beauty was already ahead of the pack in terms of personalization, to remain competitive, the brand needed to stay on top of their customer experience. When Adore Beauty first launched, they invested in customer acquisition to gain market share, and as customer retention became a key objective, they gradually built lifecycle automation. However, over time their user journeys became disjointed and did not always take into account the customer’s experience as a whole. The brand also experienced a surge of new online customers during the pandemic, but as retailers began re-opening their physical locations, there was a risk that customers who still preferred a brick-and-mortar shopping experience could churn. Adore Beauty needed to fully capitalize on this with a solution to engage and retain newly acquired customers. The brands also saw an opportunity to better engage their growing segment of customers who had only purchased once or twice.

The Challenge Siloed dataFostering loyalty and increased retentionDriving purchase frequencyMeasuring ROI The UK pizza delivery market is competitive, and one bad experience can send a customer to a competitor. In the past, Pizza Hut sent generic batch-and-blast emails with undifferentiated discounts. To nurture loyalty, Pizza Hut had to better understand its customers and deliver a consistently exceptional experience throughout the customer lifecycle while keeping up with emerging trends and changing demands. To do that, Pizza Hut needed the guidance of data insights so they could understand which customers to focus their attention on. But bringing data together in a tangible way was overwhelming and labor-intensive. Pizza Hut also lacked the ability to see if marketing efforts are contributing positively to ROI, leaving them less confident that they were on the right track.

They had nothing set up in terms of marketing automation, personalization, or customer lifecycle strategy. With CRM strategy in its infancy, they faced the complexity of serving customers in multiple segments across numerous countries in a variety of languages — and with a lean marketing team. They needed a solution to help overcome these challenges, and allow them to activate audiences and deliver increased revenues during the pandemic (and beyond) when store closures across Europe were at their peak. Their 3-pillar strategy of delivering the right message, to the right person, at the right time needed to be implemented quickly to maximize the e-commerce opportunity and delight their customers with personalized experiences that they come to expect from a brand like PUMA.

The app saw triple-digit growth during COVID-19 and learning activity in the app doubled from March 2020. Together with SAP Emarsys, they diversified their marketing activity from just to what now includes personalized mobile marketing. The Challenge Consistent cross-channel executionDelivering real-time, relevant engagementsScaling mobile strategies Overall, the brand had to maintain innovation to remain competitive with smaller, more agile players in the market. In addition to a new focus on the live tutoring space and making the app free for students, Babbel needed to boost personalization within its app. The goal was to create a quicker, easier path-to-purchase for those with high likelihood to convert right away while serving helpful suggestions and courses to those who may be undecided. The Solution With the SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement Platform, Babbel was able to gain insights about customers such as their level of intent to learn a new language. They were able to identify and segment high, medium, and low intent learners to streamline the right personalized engagement at the right time.

That’s according to the latest research by SAP Emarsys in association with Deloitte, which surveyed more than 2,000 United States consumers and 150 senior marketers at multinational brands on shifting attitudes towards consumer products.  The Consumer Products Engagement report, launching today at Shoptalk in Las Vegas, introduces the Customer Engagement Maturity (CEM) score, ranking consumer product brands on their customer engagement strategies. The new SAP Emarsys research, in association with Deloitte, builds on Bain & Company’s findings, which highlight a major industry shift toward ERP and SAP S/4HANA. This shift underscores the need for consumer product brands to break down silos, accelerate operations and engage customers more meaningfully.  To thrive in the ‘Engagement Era,’ as defined by SAP Emarsys, brands must establish a robust data foundation across their entire business.

That’s according to new data released from SAP Emarsys ahead of its upcoming CP guide launching in April. The research, which surveyed 4,000 U. S. consumers, reveals best practices for CP brands looking to build direct engagement with their audiences. “Consumers are shifting their brand loyalties,” said Sara Richter, Chief Marketing Officer at SAP Emarsys. “While cost continues to be important, increasing value is placed on convenience and personalised experiences. The right approach to omnichannel engagement will not only help brands adapt to changing economic conditions, but will also empower them to build meaningful, enduring relationships with their customers. ” According to the SAP Emarsys research, CP brands are also struggling with growing supply chain disruption, market saturation, and difficulty collecting and integrating the first-party data needed to target today’s consumers.   However, the report reveals a silver lining for CP brands, which suggests that brands can now more easily retain customers who might otherwise be tempted to switch due to convenience, price or curiosity for something new through AI-driven personalization.

However, brands that fail to meet this highly influential generation’s expectations risk missing out on their loyalty – and their wallets – in 2025. The research uncovers the top “red flags” that cause Gen Z to head to competitors, as well as the “green flags” brands must adopt to win their hearts and their business. With 68% of Gen Z reporting loyalty to a favourite brand they repeatedly engage with, this group presents a lucrative audience for brands that “get it right” by building meaningful connections.

The Customer Loyalty Index, which surveyed more than 4,000 U. S. consumers, reveals diverse motivations for brand loyalty: 43% credit it to long-standing reputations, 28% to brand consistency and 24% to iconic branding. Yet, despite this loyalty, only 17% of consumers feel “truly valued,” leaving the majority wanting more. This disconnect is a wake-up call for brands, as customer acquisition costs continue to rise. Research shows it costs up to five times more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one.   For industries like fashion, where 53% of consumers are loyal to a single brand, this poses a threat to long-term stability. "True loyalty is built by delivering meaningful connections and value at every stage of the customer journey," said Meghann York, Global Head of Product Marketing at SAP.  "With AI, brands can identify and engage diverse audiences, meeting customers where they are with tailored, real-time experiences across every channel.

S. consumers are ‘silently loyal’ to brands — regularly purchasing from them while never recommending them publicly. That’s according to the latest research from SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement. The SAP Emarsys Customer Loyalty Index (CLI), surveying more than 4,000 U. S. consumers, revealed so called ‘silent loyalty’ increased among U. S. consumers from 50% in 2022 to 52% in 2024. Unsurprisingly, it can be hard to know why a silently loyal customer keeps coming back, but these silent customers deserve to be nurtured. According to SAP Emarsys research, 53% of customers have left a brand due to just one bad experience. “Recognizing the value of ‘silently loyal’ customers is essential for brands aiming to build lasting relationships,” said Sara Richter, Chief Marketing Officer at SAP Emarsys. “AI empowers marketers to deliver personalized experiences that ensure these customers remain loyal for life. By focusing on delivering an optimal customer experience - ensuring availability and convenience - brands can nurture these loyalists without disturbing their quiet commitment, ensuring they always feel understood and valued. ” One brand who exemplifies attracting this type of ‘silent loyalty’ is Feel Good Contacts (FGC).

That’s according to new research from SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement, released ahead of the Black Friday cyber weekend.   ‘True loyalty’ is defined as “unwavering, unshakeable loyalty built on trust and devotion to a brand. ” According to the research — which surveyed over 4,000 United States consumers — app users are not only more loyal but are more driven by rewards and incentives compared to those who don’t install apps (36%).   "Mobile apps give brands a direct connection to their customers, but true engagement comes from delivering the right message when it matters most," said Kelsey Jones, Head of Product Marketing at SAP Emarsys.   "Effective personalization should feel seamless, with AI helping marketers respond to real-time behavior. The outcome? Happier, more loyal customers and timely, relevant communication. "  With data also showing that 52% of U.

According to SAP Emarsys data, younger consumers are particularly drawn to innovative marketing. Specifically, 33% of Gen Z, compared to 28% of all demographics, have tried a new brand because of its ‘creative marketing. ’ Additionally, one-third of Gen Z (33%) are enticed by brands that use ‘cool’ content or imagery, compared with 27% of other age groups.

That’s according to the latest research by SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement, which surveyed over 2,000 shoppers in the United States. The research, which launches at this year’s NRF retail tradeshow, found that 88% of US consumers have stopped shopping with a retailer because of a paid returns policy being introduced, while over half (54%) actively avoid retailers that charge to return items. SAP Emarsys data found the rate of returns continues to climb, with 84% of shoppers returning items over the last 12 months. However, not all these returns are genuine, with nearly a quarter (23%) of consumers admitting to ‘wardrobing’ — a phenomenon where consumers buy items with the sole intention of returning them. A common example of ‘wardrobing’ is shoppers buying the same product in multiple sizes when unsure of the fit. To address this, many retailers have started charging a returns fee. However, the SAP Emarsys research suggests this is causing shoppers to switch, with 49% being less loyal to brands that charge for returns. Additionally, 54% of customers say they prefer not to return items, and 60% want retailers to “get it right the first time,” indicating over half of US consumers do not want to deal with returns. “With brands losing money from... --- ### Making “Marked Down” Meaningful: SAP Emarsys Reveals 9% Increase In Black Friday Weekend Customer Engagements  - Published: 2023-11-28 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/making-marked-down-meaningful-sap-emarsys-reveals-9-increase-in-black-friday-weekend-customer-engagements/ - Translation Priorities: Optional Increase in web push, SMS, in-app and email engagement for the leading omnichannel customer engagement platform highlights importance of omnichannel, personalization and data-driven campaigns  The SAP Emarsys Customer Loyalty Index showed a 36% decline in Incentivized Loyalty in the US, meaning retailers must offer value beyond deals and discounts to bring buyers back Indianapolis, US, November 28 2023 – Analysis by omnichannel engagement expert SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement has revealed a 9% year-on-year increase in customer engagements delivered over the Black Friday weekend.

We wanted to cultivate communities, create experiences, and build customer loyalty from the ground up. ” In this pursuit, Tekmovil needed a partner who could support their strategic vision, help them enhance their business and identify the right KPIs. SAP Emarsys gave the company the ability to bring marketing activities into one central source, providing faster service, and enhancing their team’s time investment so they could focus on the most impactful tasks that drive a positive customer experience.

Despite this, over three quarters (77%) of shoppers prefer brands that offer personalized recommendations – a common use case for AI in retail.   These findings come from a new study by SAP Emarsys, which surveyed over 4,000 US shoppers. The research suggests a clear conflict between consumer concerns about AI and their desire to reap the real-world benefits of its use - – highlighting an opportunity for retailers to educate and convert loyal customers.   According to the research, almost a quarter (24%) of consumers are worried that AI will negatively impact their shopping experiences, while 86% say they’d rather interact with humans than AI. Interestingly however, less than almost 3 in 10 (27%) can tell the difference between a human and an AI chatbot online.   According to SAP Emarsys’ analysis, this negativity is often because consumers don’t see that AI is behind their best experiences. While shoppers value personalized content, custom recommendations, and speedy checkouts, few realise that AI is behind these advancements.   The research also highlights that many consumers are concerned about the use of data collection for AI, with 63% wanting retailers to strike a better balance between collecting their data and improving their shopping experiences.   SAP Emarsys advises that retailers must educate their customers on... --- ### SAP Emarsys Unveils Innovative New Features and Enhancements in its July 2023 Release  - Published: 2023-07-27 - Modified: 2025-01-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/sap-emarsys-unveils-innovative-new-features-and-enhancements-in-its-july-2023-release/ - Translation Priorities: Optional Omnichannel customer engagement platform SAP Emarsys today announces the release of its July 2023 update, bringing a host of new and innovative features and enhancements to further empower marketers.   One of the most significant updates is the integration of Mobile Wallet as a new channel on the SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement platform.

That’s according to new research from omnichannel customer engagement platform SAP Emarsys to mark the launch of its Mobile Wallet.   The study of over 4,000 US consumers suggests that the adoption of the mobile wallet is a cross-generational event, with uptake ranging from 44% (for 18-24s) to 55% (for 34-45s). The good news for retailers looking to engage the over 55s is that this generation has embraced the digital wallet, with less than a third (32%) of those who make purchases via their mobile wallet still carrying their physical wallet. Overall, 96% of consumers are using a mobile wallet-based loyalty program in some capacity.   Key cited benefits for those who purchase items using digital discounts or coupons include the speed of purchase compared to paper counterparts (49%); the ease with which you can check your savings (48%); and keeping discount codes organized (40%).   With more than three quarters (77%) of consumers comfortable using digital coupons/vouchers, and 71% for digital loyalty cards, it is more important than ever, as the technology continues to grow in adoption, that retailers make it easy for consumers to access their brand via the Mobile Wallet.   For those that don’t yet use mobile loyalty cards, the #1 reason is that... --- ### SAP Emarsys Introduces Mobile Wallet for Personalized Customer Loyalty Experience - Published: 2023-06-07 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/sap-emarsys-introduces-mobile-wallet-for-personalized-customer-loyalty-experience/ - Translation Priorities: Optional From online to offline, native functionality empowers marketers to expand channel mix, engage customers anywhere, and connect personalized experiences to drive loyalty Today, at its Power To The Marketer Festival 2023, SAP Emarsys announced a new channel, Mobile Wallet, to expand its suite of omnichannel capabilities that empower brands to engage with customers anywhere. The new channel offering lets marketers harness Google and Apple Wallets already in use by tens of millions of people worldwide, to deliver personalized vouchers, coupons, and loyalty cards to customers – with or without that brand’s app. SAP Emarsys is launching Mobile Wallet to empower marketers to stay ahead of consumer expectations. The cost-of-living crisis has made it more imperative than ever for brands to be competitive. The importance of winning that all-important true loyalty is proven by recent SAP Emarsys research* which found three out of five customers will stay loyal to a brand if they’re offered regular incentives, discounts, and rewards. However, when brands lose a customer due to cost considerations, the research found 80% will return to that brand once they can afford it if that retailer continues to communicate in the right way. And since 76% of global consumers researched demanded personalized marketing communications from brands, that means getting to know those customers. This makes the Mobile Wallet an essential solution for staying connected with both active and non-active customers who are reminded of the brand with offers personalized to their interests every time they use it.

The agreement with SAP Emarsys replaces a host of bit-part systems, including MailChimp, as a centralized ‘single source of truth’ for customer data and consolidated marketing outreach. SAP Emarsys will dramatically accelerate marketing operations within Liquor Management, including the development and deployment of an all-new loyalty program to reward its customer base. The platform does so by centralizing customer data onto one system, eliminating data siloing and manual extraction processes to provide faster and more accurate customer analytics – as well as an all-in-one omnichannel solution for customer outreach. Prior to the lockdowns beginning in 2020, Liquor Management was something of a community hub in the Tri-State area, with regular events bringing people together around the brand. With the pandemic manifesting such rapid change in customer behavior, and an explosion in ecommerce, the introduction of SAP Emarsys is seen as a means of understanding how to bring that truly loyal group back together, based on their new preferences and interests. The existing infrastructure within Liquor Management wasn’t designed for this purpose. With systems such as IVend not integrated into Shopify, manual exports of data were bleeding valuable time. Sales leads were not categorized in existing systems, either, demanding extra manual time to parse the results. With a single-figures marketing team needing to accommodate a customer base of over 200,000,... --- ### <strong>Un-egg-cited?

Over the last 12 months, Incentivized Loyalty, Inherited Loyalty, and Ethical Loyalty have decreased 13%, 22%, and 26% respectively while Silent Loyalty and True Loyalty have largely remained the same, with Silent Loyalty decreasing slightly from 53% (2021) to... --- ### SAP Emarsys Reveals 45% Year-On-Year Increase of Black Friday Customer Engagements - Published: 2022-11-29 - Modified: 2025-01-12 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/emarsys-reveals-45-year-on-year-increase-of-black-friday-customer-engagements/ - Translation Priorities: Optional The data released by the omnichannel customer engagement platform is supported by new Forrester and SAP Emarsys research on what it means to be customer-obsessed  Indianapolis, US, November 29, 2022 – An analysis of the billions of cross-channel retail messages delivered on behalf of customers like Parfym and Reformation from Black Friday through Cyber Monday has revealed an overall year on year increase of 45%*. This data has been released by SAP Emarsys following the 2022 Black Friday shopping weekend, where the platform supported customers on their journey to becoming truly omnichannel.   Ahead of the increase in volume of customer engagement across the platform reported this Black Friday, SAP Emarsys commissioned Forrester Consulting to survey 620 marketing decision makers globally, asking how companies can best use omnichannel strategies during Black Friday. 62% of respondents** said that their omnichannel strategy has yielded higher margins, while 54% said that it has yielded greater customer loyalty and retention.    The analysis of SAP Emarsys’ own platform data this Black Friday weekend shows a significant rise in activity compared to 2021 and includes customer engagements across key channels such as email, SMS, mobile push notifications, in-app and web.

According to just-released data from the second annual SAP Emarsys Customer Loyalty Index, 58% of US respondents agreed with the statement ‘I am more loyal to retailers that offer me discounts, incentives, and rewards,’ a 7% increase from 51% in 2021. Despite this overall trend, the data also show ways different customer attributes – age, gender, geography, political affiliation, and ethics - affect their loyalty.   “It’s never been more crucial for brands to truly understand their customers: it’s not enough to be customer centric anymore, brands must be customer obsessed. To make themselves as recession-proof as possible, brands must know customers on a granular level and recognize which factors impact loyalty among different customer groups,” said Meghann York, Global Head of Product Marketing, SAP Emarsys, an SAP company.   “Knowing specifically what triggers buying behavior among an increasingly fragmented marketplace will help brands attract and maintain loyal customers as we head into a holiday shopping season that we know will be bigger than last year. ”  Price Generally Trumps Traditional Loyalty Drivers  According to this year’s Loyalty Index, overall brand loyalty in the US is trending slightly up year-over-year (74% loyal to certain retailers, brands and stores in 2021,... --- ### Retro is back: three in five US consumers regularly buy vintage - Published: 2022-10-03 - Modified: 2022-12-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/retro-is-back-three-in-five-us-consumers-regularly-buy-vintage/ - Translation Priorities: Optional A study into changing consumer relationships with commerce has uncovered the nation’s obsession with vintage – from what we buy, to how we buy it   Indianapolis, Marketing has shifted dramatically to keep up with changing consumer demand. In 2022, personalization is at the core of any marketing strategy - customers expect consistency, and demand to be engaged with on their preferred channels.    But what does that mean to customers, what did life look like before omnichannel, and what do shoppers most miss about their sales experiences? It appears vintage is back – in more ways than one.   Three in five (60%) US consumers regularly buy vintage items, while significant numbers wish they could revisit the shopping experience of decades past, according to new research from omnichannel customer engagement platform SAP Emarsys. The study of 2,041 American shoppers found that 23% shop vintage to decorate their home, 19% for pure sentimental value, and 17% as a retro hobby. With 22% of Americans resolving to buy less often (as they’re concerned about overconsumption), and 21% vowing to shop more sustainably at the start of the year, there’s also a moral motivation to reliving the past. *  Classic brands and products populate the vintage purchase list, with VHS tapes, Etch-a-Sketch, Polaroid cameras (all 23%) and lava lamps and mood rings (22%) proving the most popular.

Signed on New Year’s Day 2021 and going live in April 2022, the agreement represents Parfym. se’s biggest partnership in developing its ‘best-of-build’ headless technology stack which will automate, streamline, and accelerate its customer engagement and data management capabilities. Centralisation of data and agility were key considerations, with a new C-suite assembled in the past two years, Parfym. se has been given the green light for a new technological overhaul with customers at its heart. In moving from a pure trading model to becoming a fully authorised reseller, and from a supply-driven to a demand-driven product model, Parfym. se had initially moved from its basic CRM platform to a three-platform approach. While this helped to expand the company’s outreach capabilities, it didn’t provide real-time data, siloed different data streams, and didn’t offer the streamlined experience of a centralised platform and optimum customer experience. Parfym. se therefore sought a solution that wrapped as many of the capabilities of these platforms as possible into a single system, providing it access to the real-time data needed to personalise customer engagement across multiple channels. And with a lean organization responsible for a customer base of over 700,000, the need to remain agile and automate as much of their day-to-day as possible was of... --- ### Rocket Huel: complete nutrition specialist announces lift-off with SAP Emarsys - Published: 2022-09-26 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/rocket-huel-complete-nutrition-specialist-announces-lift-off-with-emarsys/ - Translation Priorities: Optional SAP Emarsys is now the chosen solution for Huel to expand and accelerate customer personalisation and outreach. London UK — Omnichannel customer engagement platform SAP Emarsys can today announce partnership with complete nutrition brand Huel as it looks to rapidly evolve its capacity and speed for personalised outreach. The agreement equips Huel with a single source of truth for a 360-degree view of each customer, impacting everything from marketing material to customer service route. Having undergone rapid growth that saw the company surpass £138m in revenue this year, Huel’s partnership with SAP Emarsys comes as part of a wider shift towards being more efficient, spending less on customer acquisition, increasing their outreach channels and developing a more distinct understanding of each customer and how to target them. Their previous solution was not able to scale at the rate at which Huel was growing – and was unable to integrate with a host of other technologies within the business. The SAP Emarsys platform has been able to offer a more cohesive and consolidated tech stack, with productised connectors allowing Huel to draw data from MentionMe, Tableau, ZenDesk, and Snowflake.   Different teams within Huel will now rely on SAP Emarsys for the centralisation and distillation of data without ‘double-handling’ any information, saving both time and effort for Huel employees. SAP Emarsys is then able to leverage the customer data stored within the platform to better inform the omnichannel marketing strategies that Huel chooses to execute.   Such a comprehensive, centralised view of the customer... --- ### Three months to Black Friday: consumer spending set to increase despite economic concerns - Published: 2022-08-23 - Modified: 2022-12-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/three-months-to-black-friday-consumer-spending-set-to-increase-despite-economic-concerns/ - Translation Priorities: Optional New research shows that more than a third (35%) of US consumers will increase their spend, with an average spend of $441, as one in five get most of their holiday shopping done on the day Indianapolis, US, August 23, 2022 — One in five (21%) US consumers will do most of their holiday shopping this Black Friday — with over a third (35%) increasing their spend from 2021 levels.

According to the study, the average American consumer is expected to spend $441 over the Black Friday weekend – a 16% increase from $381 in 2021 - the day itself falling the day after Thanksgiving but expanding to a longer period each year, to allow shoppers save money during the holidays. In contrast, less than a quarter of consumers (24%) plan to decrease their spending this Black Friday. For those that will, rising inflation (61%), the global cost-of-living crisis (56%), and fear of recession (36%) were quoted as the most common reasons for cutting back spending. As we enter the three-month countdown to the big day, increased spending may come as a surprise given global economic concerns. However, SAP Emarsys’ research indicates that consumers are spending more discerningly to maximize their value-for-money. Seeking the biggest discounts (41%), taking advantage of free returns (37%) and grabbing deals early (28%) are all key tactics for consumers this Black Friday. This strategic approach extends to the channels that... --- ### SAP Emarsys, an SAP Company, Partners with Clearwater to Ensure Practices Meet Healthcare Industry Cybersecurity and HIPAA Compliance Requirements - Published: 2022-08-23 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/emarsys-an-sap-company-partners-with-clearwater-to-ensure-practices-meet-healthcare-industry-cybersecurity-andhipaa-compliance-requirements/ - Translation Priorities: Optional Leading Provider of Personalization Software Becomes One of the Latest Subscribers to Clearwater’s ClearAdvantage Program INDIANAPOLIS, IN, AND NASHVILLE, TN – SAP Emarsys, an SAP (NYSE: SAP) company, and Clearwater, the leading provider of Enterprise Cyber Risk Management and HIPAA Compliance solutions for the healthcare industry, announced today that SAP Emarsys has become one of the latest subscribers to ClearAdvantage®.

With consumers shopping for an average of 2 hours per week, retailers need to reach customers where they want to shop – be that in store or elsewhere.    This is clearly reflected by the change in consumer preferences across different industries:   In food, for example, despite the rise of online groceries, consumers are still four... --- ### DISSH deploys SAP Emarsys to support their Global Expansion Journey - Published: 2022-04-26 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/dissh-deploys-emarsys-to-support-their-global-expansion-journey/ - Translation Priorities: Optional Sydney, Australia, 27 April 2022 – DISSH, an Australian fashion brand owned, run, and led by women, has partnered with SAP Emarsys, an omnichannel customer engagement platform, to support their journey on getting a better understanding of their global clientele.

In a bid to level up its rapid ecommerce growth internationally, the brand can now offer more personalised experiences to its loyal customer base. While the past year has been a struggle for many retailers, 2020 saw Abbott Lyon bootstrap to an impressive £10 million turnover, while founder and CEO Jezz Skelton was recognised for his strong entrepreneurial efforts with a place in this year’s Forbes 30 under 30 list. The huge popularity of Abbott Lyon’s recently added luxury jewellery ranges has generated an increased opportunity for the brand to focus on customer loyalty and retention.  This, combined with a desire to strengthen engagement with its loyal customer base through a more data-driven approach, has led the brand to outgrow its current marketing automation platform, Klaviyo.   SAP Emarsys’s technology will help Abbott Lyon amplify the value of its ever-growing customer database.

That’s according to new research from omnichannel customer engagement company, SAP Emarsys. The survey of global retail marketers also reveals that over four-fifths (81%) are planning to actively encourage customers to shop online rather than in-store as a precaution. However, worryingly, only 13% have finished their Black Friday preparations, with just over a quarter (28%) admitting that their company is yet to start planning at all. These statistics come from preliminary data released by SAP Emarsys ahead of its upcoming Black Friday Bootcamp report. At the same time, however, consumer demand for in-store experiences remains high. Additional data from 2,000 US consumers shows that 30% enjoy going into physical stores and have missed having this option during various lockdowns. A further 40% admitted that they still intended to shop in store this Black Friday, despite rising cases of the Delta variant. Payal Hindocha, Director Customer Engagement Solutions GTM at SAP Emarsys, commented: “With just 100 days until Black Friday, it’s clear that many marketers are less prepared than they should be for the annual retail event.

The move consolidates all of Bulbs’ marketing channels into a single platform, drastically enhancing the organisation’s ability to coordinate cohesive customer journeys from first-contact to checkout and beyond. Bulbs. com sought to improve differentiatation between audiences that require a unique experience in an industry where segments can easily become muddied. Guaranteeing a suitable customer experience and the right specialist resources – for example, not sending an industrial lighter to replace kitchen lamps – is paramount. Despite only signing a contract in May, Bulbs. com has already been able to define customer journeys more clearly, improving search engine marketing (SEM) and customer segmentation in comparison to using Bronto, their previous system. The move to an omnichannel platform rather than a new ESP system has centralized the data of all of these audiences from four or five disparate systems, clarifying which customers need which solution. On top of this, superior automation tools have made it much easier to create triggered marketing automations for these segments, personalized to genuinely reflect behavior and preference of each individual. Personalized emails and workflows are now being delivered far quicker than before, while the website can now tie email and advert together to create a cohesive journey. This is partially thanks to the Lead Developer – who previously worked on... --- ### Guilty secret: Nearly a third of Americans regularly buy from retailers, despite disagreeing with their ethics - Published: 2021-07-29 - Modified: 2021-08-04 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/press-release/guilty-secret-nearly-a-third-of-americans-regularly-buy-from-retailers-despite-disagreeing-with-their-ethics/ - Translation Priorities: Optional Indianapolis IN — While CSR efforts are a huge focus for many modern brands, 31% of US shoppers admit to buying from retailers despite disagreeing with their ethics.

When it comes to younger consumers, the figures are even higher. In fact, those aged 16-24 are the most likely to regularly buy from brands despite disagreeing with their ethics, with a third (31%) admitting to feeling this way. This group is also the most likely to regularly buy from brands but not endorse them publicly (36%). Surprisingly, the survey found that strong ethical values (23%) is one of the least popular reasons why respondents are loyal to their favorite retailers, compared to 60% who are loyal to brands that have a wide range of products and 49% for those that offer consistent low prices.   Commenting on these findings, Payal Hindocha, Director Customer Engagement Solutions GTM at SAP Emarsys said: “Customer loyalty is not a simple concept; it’s not just a case of liking a brand.

Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/webhooks/ What are webhooks? A webhook is an automated message sent from an application when a specific event occurs. It contains a message or payload that is sent to a unique URL, allowing for lightweight, event-driven communication between two applications. What are webhooks used for? Webhooks are used to integrate different applications and third-party APIs, allowing for real-time communication between two applications without the need for additional coding or complex setup. Generally, webhooks are used to send data from one application to another in response to an event, such as when a customer makes a purchase or subscribes to a service. Webhooks can also be used to automate common tasks such as updating databases or triggering notifications. Webhooks vs APIs - what’s the difference? The main difference between webhooks and APIs is that webhooks receive data while APIs retrieve data. An API, which stands for Application Programming Interface, allows software applications to communicate with each other using requests. A webhook is an event-based API endpoint responsible for triggering internal functions to look up information in real time when a specific event occurs. When deciding which one to use, it's important to think about what the application will be used for and what type of data needs to be synced. APIs are often used for more complex tasks, such as retrieving large amounts of data or performing complex calculations, while webhooks are better suited for simpler tasks, such as sending notifications or triggering an action when a certain event occurs. Overall, both... --- ### Web Messaging > Discover web messaging and learn how this communication technology can reach your target audiences in real-time. - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2023-09-27 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/web-messaging/ What is web messaging? Web messaging refers to a variety of messages that users receive via a brand’s website. Web messaging typically falls into one of two categories: Push messaging allows the business to broadcast specific marketing messages and notifications to opted-in users. These are similar to app-based push notifications but are displayed on a user’s desktop instead. In-browser messaging is the modern-day marketer’s answer to the traditional site pop-up. It’s an interactive method of reaching out to users that involves sending personalized messages directly within their browser window with the intention of driving engagement and encouraging further interactions. Examples of web push messaging in action Everyday examples of web push messaging that you’re likely familiar with include: Browser calendar alerts reminding you of upcoming calls Notifications that your favorite blog has just published a new post Shipping updates for your online orders New messages on your social media platforms Examples of in-browser messaging in action If you spend a lot of time shopping and browsing the web, chances are you’ve come across some of these use cases: Slide-in: These pop ups appear from one side of your screen and, as the name suggests, slide into view. They typically occupy a non-intrusive space in the corner of the viewport and are a great way to communicate quick, concise messages. Full-screen: At the other end of the spectrum are full-screen in-browser messages. These are used to disrupt the browsing experience with key messaging often revolving around data capture or sales promotion... . --- ### Repeat Purchase > Discover the significance of repeat purchase events and the importance of getting customers to buy again and again. - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/repeat-purchase/ What is a repeat purchase? Repeat purchase is the act of making multiple purchases from the same brand. It is generally seen as an indication of customer satisfaction and growing customer loyalty, as they have chosen to return to a business and buy their product again. Why are repeat purchases important? Repeat purchases are vital to the long-term growth of brands because: They foster customer loyalty and generate a higher return on investment than marketing to new customers. Customer acquisition costs, such as advertising and promotions, are typically high. Driving repeat purchases is often more cost-effective than acquiring a new one. They lead to increased customer lifetime value as customers become more engaged with the brand over time. By driving repeat purchases, brands can hedge against rising customer acquisition costs, providing the profit margins they need to scale sustainably. Why do customers make repeat purchases? Some of the key driving factors behind repeat purchases include: Taking advantage of loyalty programs, such as rewards and exclusive offers. Experiencing greater convenience in their shopping experience, such as faster checkout or easy access to their order history. Getting better pricing or discounts, such as sale items or special promotions. Supporting the brand they identify with, such as feeling connected to a brand's values and mission. Tactics for increasing repeat purchases Tried and tested techniques for incentivizing customers towards repeat purchases include: Offering meaningful discounts and rewards to encourage customers to come back. Creating a seamless, frictionless customer experience from browse to purchase to... --- ### Win Back > Discover the importance of the customer win back and this marketing event's ability to re-engage customers to your brand. - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/win-back/ What is win back? “Win back” is a marketing strategy used to re-engage and reactivate customers who have stopped buying from a business. The goal of a win-back strategy is to encourage customers to re-engage with a brand through targeted campaigns that offer incentives such as discounts, loyalty rewards, and coupons. As part of an effective win-back campaign, businesses can use email outreach, social media posts, or even direct mail to reach out to previous customers and remind them why they should come back and buy from the brand again. Which channels should you use for your win-back campaign? Email: highly effective and simple to set up, email is a popular channel for win-back campaigns. By creating an automated flow, you can target and entice customers who haven’t made a purchase or visited your store for several months using personalized discounts. SMS: for mobile-first customers, or those that don’t respond to email, SMS can be a great way to get your message straight into their hands. With over 90% of SMS messages being opened, compared to email’s 21. 5%, it’s clear how effective this channel can be. Paid social: segment your customers and set up custom audiences across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to target those that haven’t made a purchase in a while. Using dynamic visual content in paid social campaigns can be a great way to entice past customers to return. Effective strategies to win back lapsed customers Use “win back” correctly, and you can make a significant difference to... --- ### White Label - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2023-03-28 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/white-label/ What is white labeling? White labeling is a process where one business — “Business A” — produces a product or service that is sold under another business’s — Business B — brand name. White labeling allows Business B to develop or expand their range of products without having to develop them from scratch. Though white labeling is used in various industries, including technology, retail, and manufacturing, it’s also commonly used for software development, web hosting, and other digital services. Why do companies use white labeling? Businesses use white labeling because it: Allows them to purchase generic products from one company and customize those products with their own branding. Helps save on costs associated with design, manufacturing, and marketing. Provides customers with a wide range of products without having to create each one individually, which can help increase Average Order Value (AOV) and repeat sales. Makes it easier for businesses to grow and expand without worrying about running out of stock or being unable to keep up with demand. For industries such as beauty, cosmetics, and healthcare, white labeling can also help avoid the significant costs associated with product testing. Disadvantages of white-labeled products and services In spite of its advantages, white labeling doesn’t come without its downsides: It can be difficult to differentiate products from competitors when using generic products. Companies may not get the same level of control over production and shipping as they would if they produced their own products. If a product contains a defect, it can... --- ### User Profile - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/user-profile/ What is a user profile? Understanding the characteristics and tendencies of a user base is essential for any successful business strategy. By studying data collected on the actions and behaviors of their customers, companies can better identify profitable opportunities and create more engaging experiences for those customers. A user profile (also known as a customer profile or buyer persona) is one way to organize this data to reveal and understand patterns and trends among users. This helps businesses to tailor content, messaging, offers, and more to specific users, as opposed to creating generalized content for their entire customer base. How are user profiles created? User profiles are created through a process known as segmentation. This technique divides a company’s user base into smaller groups or segments based on certain criteria, including: Demographics (age, gender, location) Interests (types of products purchased) Behavior (time spent browsing or shopping online) Lifestyle choices or purchase habits Segmentation helps companies gain insight into who their audiences are, what those audiences need or want from the business, and ultimately how best to reach and engage those audiences. Once a segment is created, companies can develop user profiles for each group to help uncover patterns in customer behavior that may not be obvious when studying data from the entire group. Why are user profiles important? User profiles are powerful tools that help marketers make smarter decisions that improve the customer experience and drive ROI. Some of the ways user profiles help marketers include: 1. Informing broader marketing... --- ### Upsell > Explore the power of the upsell and the importance of this key sales event in a fully developed sales cycle. - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/upsell/ What is an upsell?

Cross-selling, on the other hand, is when a business suggests alternative items or services to those that the customer has already selected. For example, in an online store, upsells might be offering customers a more expensive, higher-specification version of the item they are about to purchase, while cross-sells might be suggesting related items such as accessories or alternatives. Five upselling techniques to increase AOV Drive revenue and customer average order value with these upselling techniques: Create product bundles: Bundling related products together and offering them at a discounted price can drive higher-value sales. Offer upsells at checkout: Showing customers more premium, higher-priced items or upgrades right before they check... --- ### Tiered Loyalty Program > Learn about tiered loyalty programs and their potential to reward and retain customers for maximum engagement. - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/tiered-loyalty-program/ What is a tiered loyalty program?

With the right solutions in place,... --- ### Stickiness - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/stickiness/ What is stickiness in marketing? Stickiness in marketing refers to a marketing campaign’s ability to make a lasting impression on potential customers. It's a measure of how successful a campaign is at making an impact that results in increased brand recognition, customer loyalty, and long-term customer relationships. To achieve stickiness, marketers use various tactics such as creative storytelling, vivid visuals, interactive experiences, and engaging, personalized content and promotions tailored to the target market. What is app stickiness? App stickiness refers to the rate of active users who return to and actively engage with an application over a period of time. App stickiness is typically measured by tracking user engagement, such as frequency of visits, usage duration, and amount of purchases within an app. Increasing app stickiness is important for businesses as it can help lead to higher customer loyalty, better word-of-mouth marketing, increased sales, and even a rise in the app’s value. Companies use various methods to increase the stickiness of their apps, including rewards programs, content personalization, and targeted notifications. Difference between stickiness and customer loyalty Stickiness and customer loyalty are similar concepts in marketing but have distinct differences. While both revolve around repeat business, stickiness is typically transactional in nature and is often price-driven. Customer loyalty, on the other hand, is more about customer engagement and shared beliefs and values. How to increase app and customer stickiness Offer rewards: Offering customers rewards such as points or discounts encourages them to keep coming back.

Retention in e-commerce refers to a brand’s ability to retain customers and prevent them from churning, defecting to a competitor brand, or becoming inactive. Retention is an important metric for any online business as it can help them understand how successful their marketing strategies are, how valuable their products are to customers, and how loyal their customers are. How to measure retention in e-commerce Retention is usually measured by the customer retention rate, which is the percentage of people who make repeat purchases from an e-commerce store. Platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify have plugins that automatically display your customer retention rate. However, if you need to work it out for yourself, the calculation is as follows: x 100 A = the total number of customers you ended up with. B = the number of new customers you won. C = the total number of customers you started with. Subtract the number of customers you won during the period from the number you ended the period with. Divide that by the total number of customers you started with, then multiply by 100 to get your retention percentage. For example, an online clothing store wants to calculate its retention rate for Q1 of the year. In January, they had 100 customers (C). At the end of March, they had 110 customers (A). Between January and March, they won 30 new customers (B). x 100 = 80 Between January and March, this clothing store maintained an 80% retention... --- ### Retargeting - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2023-11-07 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/retargeting/ What is retargeting? Retargeting is an online advertising tactic that helps businesses keep their brand in front of users who have previously visited their website, browsed an e-commerce store, or made a purchase online. It works by tracking user behavior and displaying ads to those users on other websites they visit. Retargeting ads are typically displayed as banner ads, but can also be used in email campaigns and social media posts. The goal of retargeting is to remind potential customers about your business and encourage them to come back and complete a purchase. Retargeting can be a powerful tool for businesses looking to increase engagement with their audience and boost ROI from their marketing efforts. By targeting audiences who have already engaged with your business with personalized content, you can drive more conversions and increase customer growth. How does retargeting work? Retargeting works by tracking a user's activity on the website and then displaying ads to them as they browse other websites. The ads are tailored to the user's interests and can be used to encourage them to return to the website and complete a conversion, such as making a purchase. Retargeting can also be used to increase brand awareness and engagement with potential customers. Retargeting works by placing cookies on the user's browser when they visit your website. These cookies track their activity and allow you to serve them targeted ads as they browse other websites. The ads can be tailored to their interests based on what pages they... --- ### Repeat Customer > Explore the definition of a repeat customer and the importance of driving exceptional experiences that keep them coming back. - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2023-11-07 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/repeat-customer/ What is a repeat customer? A repeat customer is someone who has made multiple purchases from the same company or brand. A customer becomes a repeat buyer after returning to the business after an initial purchase and buying again — whether by their own motivation or as a result of marketing strategies such as a post-purchase email automation or social media remarketing campaigns. Why are repeat customers valuable to businesses? There are several key reasons why brands seek out repeat customers: Reliable, recurring revenue:Repeat buyers represent a reliable source of income. This gives businesses a sustainable base from which to grow and expand. Higher engagement:Consistent, loyal customers are more interested in learning about the brand and engaging with it than new customers. This leads to better word-of-mouth marketing as these buyers will tell their friends and family about their positive experiences, which leads to further growth. Less dependence on acquisition:Having repeat buyers means less time and money has to be devoted to acquiring new customers, allowing more resources for improving customer service, product quality, or expanding into new markets. Valuable data insights:Repeat purchases give companies data about their customers that can be used for targeted marketing campaigns, optimizing products and services, and providing insights into customer satisfaction levels. Ultimately, having dedicated repeat customers helps maximize sales and revenue, create a competitive edge against competitors, and build long-term relationships with customers that are essential for success in today's markets. Best practices for driving repeat sales Personalize the shopping experience:Treat each customer... --- ### Purchase Frequency > Discover purchase frequency and the power to drive sales growth by encouraging repeat buying from your customers. - Published: 2023-03-28 - Modified: 2023-10-24 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/purchase-frequency/ What is purchase frequency? Purchase frequency is the average rate at which customers buy products from a company during a certain period of time. It can reveal a variety of insights into customer behavior and preferences and help marketers understand the types of products customers buy, how often they make purchases, and if there is an opportunity to increase sales by introducing new products or offering discounts. Tracking purchase frequency over time can help marketers understand the effectiveness of marketing strategies and campaigns as well as assess the overall performance of the business. How do you calculate purchase frequency? Calculating purchase frequency is as simple as deciding a timeframe (ie. a week, a month, a quarter, a year) and dividing your total orders by the unique customers you served over that time. i. e. Purchase frequency = TIME FRAME / TOTAL UNIQUE CUSTOMER ORDERS What are the top five ways to improve purchase frequency? Personalization: Personalizing content such as emails, ads, and SMS makes it more relevant and meaningful to customers, and can encourage them to purchase more frequently.

Read more to learn how to put this tried and true exercise to work in your favor. - Published: 2023-03-08 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/a-b-testing/ What is A/B testing? A/B testing is a method of experimentation used by marketers to compare two versions of a variable such as a web page, email, or digital ad, and then determine which version performs best and, more importantly, why. By running A/B tests, marketers can evaluate the impact of changes made to content and audience targeting through metrics such as reach, engagement, click-through rate, and conversion. The two versions are referred to as 'A' (control version) and 'B' (experimental version). Through this method of experimentation, marketers are able to continually improve results by determining which version performs the best and why, and applying those learnings to future campaigns. What is an example of A/B testing? A/B testing typically begins with a hypothesis that marketers want to prove. For example, a sportswear brand might decide it wants to test the hypothesis that using models in product photography will drive higher sales. In order to A/B test this hypothesis, the brand builds two versions of the same landing page, one with product photography featuring models and one without. The brand then runs a split test by sending half of their website visitors to one version and the other half to the other version. By tracking the number of conversions (in this case, sales) they receive from each LP variant, they can either prove or disprove the original hypothesis that product photography featuring models sells more clothes. The data from this A/B test can then be used to optimize the user... --- ### Google Analytics > Learn about how data-driven insights from the well-known Google Analytics can help optimize your digital strategies. - Published: 2023-03-03 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/google-analytics/ What is Google Analytics?

Email deliverability is the process of ensuring that emails sent from an email sender to a recipient are delivered successfully. The success rate of email delivery depends on several factors, including: Sender reputation: A measure of how reputable an email sender is, based on the quality and amount of their outgoing emails. It's used by ISPs to determine whether or not to accept emails from a particular sender, as well as how to prioritize them in their delivery systems. Factors that can impact sender reputation include email content quality, bounce rates, spam complaints, and time spent in the user's inbox. Message content: Including excessive use of capitalized words, words with multiple asterisks (e. g. , free**), HTML elements and formatting characters like ">", phrases such as "Click Here" or "Order Now", suspicious attachment types and files, bad grammar and spelling mistakes, as well as phrases associated with spam emails like "guaranteed money", "We have the best offer! " and "Congratulations! ". Anti-SPAM legislation: These laws can vary from country to country, but generally prohibit activities like sending emails with false or misleading information, harvesting emails from public sources and disguising the origin of email messages. Violators of anti-spam legislation may be subject to fines or other penalties. Email deliverability also relates to other factors such as domain reputation, IP reputation, server performance and authentication protocols. Why is email deliverability important? Email deliverability is an important factor in any email marketing campaign because it determines whether or not your messages will... --- ### Hard Bounce - Published: 2023-03-02 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/hard-bounce/ What is a hard bounce? A hard bounce is an email that cannot be delivered to the intended recipient. This happens when a user's mailbox or domain is inactive or does not exist, meaning that the message cannot be successfully transmitted. Hard bounces can also occur if there are formatting errors in the address or if the server is unable to deliver messages due to restrictions such as spam prevention measures. Hard bounce vs soft bounce - what’s the difference? A hard bounce is an email that cannot be delivered to the intended recipient. Hard bounces can occur if the address does not exist or if there are formatting errors in the address. A soft bounce, on the other hand, is an email that could not be delivered due to temporary issues. Soft bounces can occur due to full inboxes, temporary connection problems between servers, or other transient issues. How to fix hard bounces The best way to fix a hard bounce email is to make sure the address is accurate. Check for typos and formatting errors, such as incorrect domain names or missing "@" symbols. If you’re sure the address is correct, try to contact the recipient or their email provider to troubleshoot further. Additionally, you can use a third-party validation service that can help verify if an email address is valid and deliverable. What happens if too many emails bounce? As a general rule, you should expect anywhere up to 2% bounce rate with your email campaigns (98%... --- ### Email Automation Strategy - Published: 2023-03-02 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/email-automation-strategy/ What is an email automation strategy?

This type of automated system can be enhanced with a personalization engine that allows marketers to personalize emails and tailor content to customer interests, while also reducing the time required to send out campaigns manually. A well-executed email automation strategy can lead to increased engagement, conversions, and revenue. How do you automate emails? Automating emails is relatively easy to do using email marketing software. The process typically involves creating a series of automated messages based on certain triggers or customer actions, such as signing up for an email list or completing a purchase. Once the automation is set up, each time a customer action triggers one of the prepared messages, it will be sent out automatically without any additional effort from the sender. Additionally, many email marketing tools provide features that make it easy to customize automated messages and tailor content to specific customers and their interests. Benefits of email automation Email marketing automation provides several key benefits, including: Increased customer engagement: Automated emails are tailored to customers’ interests and behaviors, leading to higher open and click-through rates.

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks to model complex systems and relationships. It’s become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to its ability to recognize patterns, interpret unstructured data, interpret images, audio signals and more. Deep learning algorithms are being used across many industries - from natural language processing and computer vision to medical diagnoses and financial forecasting. Deep learning vs AI - is there a difference? While deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are closely related, they are not the same. AI is a broader term that encompasses many different types of machine learning algorithms, such as those used in deep learning. Deep learning falls under the umbrella of AI, since it uses neural networks to help machines better understand data and make decisions. However, AI has wider implications beyond deep learning, providing guidance for overall decision making capability. What are the two main types of deep learning? The two main types of deep learning are supervised and unsupervised learning. Supervised learning algorithms use labeled data to learn from. Unsupervised learning, on the other hand, doesn’t require labeled data in order to learn. In supervised learning, the algorithm is given a dataset with input-output relationships—or examples—that it can use to develop a model for predicting output values. With unsupervised learning, the algorithm learns by uncovering patterns or insights in an unlabeled dataset. Benefits of deep learning for marketing Automation of key tasks: Deep learning can help marketing professionals... --- ### Buying Journey - Published: 2023-03-02 - Modified: 2025-01-10 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/buying-journey/ What is the buying journey? The buying journey is the process that customers go through when they make a purchase. It encompasses all of the steps from the moment a customer becomes aware of the product or service to when they complete their purchase. It includes activities such as research, comparison shopping, deciding which product or service to choose and finalizing the purchase. Understanding your customers’ buying journeys can help you create more effective marketing campaigns and provide them with a better user experience. Four stages of the buying journey The customer buying journey can be simplified into 4 key stages: Awareness: This is the first step when customers become aware of a product or service and start researching it Consideration: At this stage, customers are gathering more information about the product/service, such as features and benefits, and comparing it to similar products/services. Conversion: Here, customers settle on a product and complete the purchase process. Retention: At this stage, the brand the customer has bought from focuses on driving repeat purchases. Tools for this include post-purchase email campaigns and retargeting ads across social media platforms. How to map out the buying journey Mapping out the buying journey is a process of understanding and documenting the steps that customers go through when making a purchase. By studying each step in detail, you can gain insights into what drives customer behavior and how to optimize their experience.

Behavioral signals refer to the marketing data collected on a customer's interactions with a brand, including their website visits, purchases, and other related activities. This data helps marketers gain insights into customers' interests, needs, and behaviors so they can tailor their campaigns accordingly. Behavioral signals help marketers better understand customer preferences and target them more effectively. Additionally, they allow companies to understand what type of content resonates best with their target audiences and which channels are most successful at driving sales. Three ways to use behavioral signals in marketing Marketers can use behavioral signals to break down their audiences into clearly-defined, easy-to-target segments based around key points like Average Order Value (AOV), churn likelihood, loyalty status and much more. These behavioral segments can then be used to power: Personalized Messages: By using behavioral signals, you can create personalized messages to target specific customers based on their past behavior. For example, if a customer views a product on-site or adds an item to their cart, those behavioral signals can be used to trigger abandoned browse and abandoned cart campaigns. Content Optimization: Behavioral signals can also help you determine which type of content your audience is most likely to engage with and optimize it accordingly. From product recommendations online and in-app to tailored landing pages, behavioral signals can help you create content that appeals to your target customers and drives more conversions. Targeted Ads: By understanding customer behavior, you can display targeted ads that are designed to each... --- ### Abandoned Browse > Explore the concept of browse abandonment and its impact on recovering lost sales. - Published: 2023-03-02 - Modified: 2023-09-29 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/abandoned-browse/ What is abandoned browse? Abandoned browse is a marketing tactic typically used to target customers who browse products online but don’t add them to their carts. An abandoned browse campaign will keep customers engaged with relevant interactions that incorporate insights like behavior data, purchase data and channel preferences to recommend not only recently-browsed products, but also additional product recommendations. This helps provide a more personalized experience and encourages customers to return and purchase the item, or items, they were browsing. What should be included in an abandoned browse email? Customer's name Brief summary of the item(s) they searched Compelling call-to-action Value-adding offering such as a discount code or free shipping Related products Customer testimonials and/or reviews for that specific product How many abandoned browse emails should I send and when? Unlike abandoning a cart, when a customer abandons a website, they are still at the early stages of making a purchase decision. For this reason, no more than two abandoned browse emails should be sent. When should I send abandoned browse emails? In terms of timing, sending an abandoned browse email within the first 1-3 hours after someone leaves your website is ideal. This will ensure that the product or service they were browsing remains top of mind. For the second email, the recommended send time is 24 hours after a customer has visited a website. Some brands will even include a discount or special offer in the second email to entice customers back to complete a purchase, or follow... --- ### Abandoned Cart > Explore the impact of abandoned carts and the importance of optimizing customer journeys and re-engaging shoppers to recover lost sales. - Published: 2023-03-02 - Modified: 2023-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/abandoned-cart/ What is abandoned cart? “Abandoned cart” refers to instances where customers add items to an online shopping cart, but abandon the transaction before completing checkout. This is a common problem among e-Commerce stores and marketers are often tasked with finding ways to reduce abandoned cart rates and increase conversions. Abandoned cart campaigns are an effective means of improving conversion to sale. Customers are already engaged with the brand and have added products to their cart, but have ended the session without completing the purchase. Abandoned cart encourages customers to complete the transaction by sending an initial email containing their cart contents and a reminder email two days later. It can support revenue objectives by contributing to strategies such as converting leads to first-time buyers, converting first-time buyers to active customers, and winning back inactive customers. What are the most common reasons for cart abandonment? Lack of trust in payment systems Complicated checkout process / poor user experience High shipping costs and/or long delivery estimates Technological issues (e. g. , slow loading website or crashing browser) Inadequate return policies or guarantees Payment declined due to incorrect card details entered by the customer What are effective cart abandonment strategies? Broadly speaking, there are two ways to solve abandoned cart issues. The first is to stress-test your operations. The second is to optimize your abandoned cart marketing strategy. Operations Ensure your checkout process is as frictionless as possible and that your payment systems work flawlessly.

Deep linking is the practice of linking to a specific piece of content, located either in-app or on a website. Website-to-website is the most common form of deep linking, where traffic is sent to a specific page on another website. In the context of mobile apps, deep links are used to send traffic from channels like mobile, web, social media, email, or others to a specific page within an app. What is an example of an in-app deep link? A travel company sends out an email campaign promoting their latest deals on weekend getaways. When a reader clicks the link to learn more, the travel company’s app launches and takes them to the specific page within the app that contains all of the information they need. If they haven’t got the app downloaded, the deep link takes them to the App Store or Google Play store instead. In addition to sending users to specific app pages, deep links can also be used to initiate certain actions within an app once a link is clicked. For example, an online store could use deep links for its customer support, allowing users to click a link that opens a messaging platform like WhatsApp for Business with pre-filled text. This text can contain keywords which then either trigger a chatbot, or help the online store categorize the inquiry and reduce their Time to Resolution (TTR). What are the three main types of deep links? The three types of deep linking... --- ### Geofence > Explore the concept of geofencing and its marketing applications to help boost effective location-based marketing. - Published: 2023-02-27 - Modified: 2023-09-29 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/geofence/ What is geofencing? Geofencing is a location-based technology that enables users to draw virtual boundaries around an area. It relies on GPS, RFID, and WiFi data to detect when a device enters or leaves the designated area. This technology is often used by businesses such as retail stores or restaurants to send tailored messages to customers who are near the business' location. Geofencing can also be used for security purposes, such as restricting access to certain parts of a building or campus. How is geofencing used in marketing? Geofencing allows brands to create campaigns that target customers within a specific geofenced area. For example, if a business wants to target potential customers near their store location, they could use geofencing to send timely messages about sales or special offers to customers within that range. Marketers can also use geofencing to target customers who have recently visited their website or purchased products online. Another major benefit of using geofencing for marketing purposes is the ability to track customer behavior. When customers enter a geofenced area, businesses can collect data on their shopping habits and preferences which can then be used to customize future marketing campaigns or offers. For example, with geofencing you can track how many times someone visits a particular store or restaurant and use this location-based data to create personalized offers. Finally, geofencing technology can be used by businesses to interact with their customers in real time. This allows them to respond quickly when potential customers are nearby and... --- ### Marketing Automation > Explore the world of marketing automation and how it can streamline your marketing processes for maximum marketing efficiency. - Published: 2023-02-27 - Modified: 2024-12-16 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/marketing-automation/ What is marketing automation?

A customer journey is the route a customer takes with a company from initial contact through to first purchase, active buyer, retention, and beyond. This can include interactions across web, mobile, social media, in-app, and email, as well as customer service, loyalty programs, and more. During a customer’s journey, companies will aim to provide the customer with positive experiences that leave them satisfied, increase their loyalty, and drive repeat purchases. Five key customer journey stages While every customer’s journey with a company will vary, the typical customer journey consists of five key stages: Awareness: At the awareness stage, customers become aware of a product or service and start to learn more about it. Consideration: During the consideration stage, customers evaluate their options and decide which one best meets their needs. Conversion: The conversion/decision stage is when customers make their final decision on which product or service they will buy. Retention: The retention stage is when customers continue to use the product or service they have purchased, and may even recommend it to others. Advocacy: Finally, the advocacy stage is when customers actively promote a product or service through word of mouth or social media. By understanding each of these stages, businesses can create strategies that convert prospects into loyal customers. What is the purpose of a customer journey map? A customer journey map provides a visualization of the stages a customer goes through during their relationship with a company.

Customer lifecycle management (CLM) is a strategy for managing customer relationships, focusing on a customer’s entire journey with a business from initial contact to retention and beyond. It helps businesses build stronger relationships with their customers which can lead to repeat sales and increased loyalty. Customer lifecycle management involves activities like gathering feedback, targeting campaigns, increasing brand visibility, and delivering personalized experiences. What is the difference between CLM and Customer Relationship Management (CRM)? The difference between CRM (customer relationship management) and CLM (customer lifecycle management) is that CRM looks at individual customer interactions while CLM takes into account the customer's entire journey. With CRM, companies focus on things like sales, support, and marketing activities for individual customers. However, CLM is more holistic. It’s focused on building long-term relationships with customers, and does this by using data to gain a comprehensive understanding of all the interactions a customer has with the company over time. The five main lifecycle stages targeted by CLM The five stages that customer lifecycle management focuses on include: Awareness: When a potential customer first encounters a product or service. Consideration: When a customer investigates and researches that product or service. Conversion: When shoppers commit to a purchase by completing a transaction. Retention: When customers reflect on their purchase, returning again in the future. Advocacy: When customers share their experiences, helping to promote the product or service to friends and family. Analyzing the customer lifecycle Analyzing the customer lifecycle involves understanding each stage of... --- ### Customer Lifecycle Marketing > Discover customer lifecycle marketing and the importance of nurturing customer relationships at every stage. - Published: 2023-02-22 - Modified: 2023-11-06 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/customer-lifecycle-marketing/ What is customer lifecycle marketing? Customer lifecycle marketing is a marketing strategy that focuses on creating personalized and targeted experiences for customers at each stage of the customer journey, from pre-purchase to post-purchase. This approach leverages customer data to deliver personalized engagements that are tailored to the individual's needs, interests, and preferences throughout their entire relationship with the brand. What are the five stages of the customer lifecycle? The five stages of the customer lifecycle are: Awareness: When a customer discovers a brand or product and begins to learn more about it. Interest: The customer is actively researching products and considering whether they should purchase them. Evaluation: Customers compare different options before making a decision on which one to buy. Purchase: The conversion point where the customer commits to buying a product or service. Retention & Loyalty: The stage post-purchase where brands work to keep customers engaged by using campaigns that encourage loyalty and repeat purchases. What is the difference between customer relationship management (CRM) and customer lifecycle marketing? The difference between customer lifecycle marketing and customer relationship management is that customer lifecycle marketing focuses on understanding customers’ individual needs throughout their journey with the brand, while customer relationship management (CRM) concentrates more on tracking, storing, and analyzing customer data to create meaningful relationships with them. In essence, CRM can be seen as a tool for implementing customer lifecycle marketing strategies. Why is customer lifecycle marketing important? Customer lifecycle marketing is important because it allows businesses to understand each customer's... --- ### Multi-Channel > Explore multi-channel and it's unique contribution to help you effectively reach your audience through multiple platforms and channels. - Published: 2023-02-22 - Modified: 2023-11-07 - URL: https://emarsystest.com/learn/glossary/multi-channel/ What is multi-channel? “Multi-channel” is an approach to marketing that engages customers across multiple channels, such as in-store, website, social media, and mobile app. It’s focused on providing the same experience across different channels while still treating them as separate from one another. Multi-channel vs cross-channel and omnichannel — what’s the difference? Multi-channel: Brands focused on multi-channel will create content across several key customer touchpoints, giving customers the choice of how, when, and where to engage. However, these channels aren’t integrated with each other, which can lead to a disconnected, unfulfilling experience for customers. Cross-channel: Cross-channel marketing aims to create a unified customer journey by connecting experiences across different channels. It has a more strategic approach than multi-channel and focuses on integrating data from each of these channels to create better customer experiences. Omnichannel: Omnichannel takes things one step beyond cross-channel. It aims for a unified, connected user experience across all online and offline touchpoints, meaning that regardless of which channel the customer uses, they will receive a real-time, consistent, and hyper-personalized experience. Pros of multi-channel marketing The advantages of multi-channel marketing include: Greater reach: By being present on multiple channels, you can access more potential customers, thus maximizing your market presence and overall engagement. Heightened customer engagement: Customers have the freedom to pick their preferred channel when interacting with a brand. Having multiple points of contact helps ensure that customers are getting the best possible experience. Improved customer loyalty: With a consistent experience across different channels, customers will be... --- ## SAP Emarsys Partner Directory ### FCamara - Published: 2025-05-31 - Modified: 2025-05-31 -
