Recent Forrester Research on The State of Consumer Personalization suggests that that marketers might be too focused on pre-purchase customer acquisition and not enough on post-purchase communication when that customer has opted into the relationship and the brand has earned their trust.
With so much pressure on marketers to ‘fill the top of the funnel’ with new customers, it’s easy to see why they’ve placed their focus there. This data is easier to access, and action before that customer data move across their technology stack.
Data data everywhere and not a lot will link.
The sheer volume of customer data marketers have access to can feel overwhelming, especially when its spread across multiple platforms without visibility or connectivity to the insights it should be producing. Compounding matters is the fact that members expect that all data they share with a brand will be collected and used to improve their customer experience. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be reality for most brands or the marketers that are tasked with promoting them.
Marketers need a single source of truth.
Most marketers would agree that their biggest marketing execution challenge is the ability to personalize their content, deliver experiences in real time and to leverage technology that can do this end to end. And Forrester Research data agrees.
The trick – and it’s a sizeable one - to delivering personalization that feels natural within relationship between the brand and the customer, is the brand knowing when that customer has moved from discovery to participation and then advocacy. In short, they need to know what they're likely to want next.
The problem is that most customer lifecycle data doesn’t reflect the current status of a customer base. Most marketers can't see where their customers are in their lifecycle. If they do have access to this data, it's likely to be anywhere from a quarter to a year or more old , not accessible in real-time.
