In B2B and B2C customer management companies are faced with various challenges:
Sparkling eyes, happy customers, unforgettable experiences - a lot easier said than done.
Customer expectations are constantly growing. Being First Choice is getting more and more demanding.
1 | Omni-channel management
Let's be clear about one thing: Digitization is the key to success. New contact and communication channels require targeted content across all touchpoints. Tracking the individual journey of each customer in order to recognize their behavioral patterns and to use them for automated communication systems as well as campaign management turns out to be a challenge.
After all, we need to keep in mind that both hard and soft factors must be taken into account. The first includes customer reactions (or data from customer behavior) such as clicks. Qualitative information, such as customer feedback, free-text responses to customer surveys or product evaluations is included in the second category.
2 | Customer needs & interests
Individualized, personalized, immediately available - customer expectations are constantly rising!
It is therefore even more important to recognize the needs and interests of your customers and to be able to assign them to specific segments. But that's not all: in this context, staying up to date is indispensable to maintain the customers' interest in a longterm. Individual needs must be regularly updated, adopted and used for communication management.
3 | Personalization
When it comes to managing communications, the rule is: advertising should be as individual as your customers. Today, personalization is more important than ever for attracting attention - even before marketing consent is given! Once opt-ins have been received, personal data can then be linked from all available sources to further complete the individual customer profile. In doing so, new approaches are needed to avoid cookies or third-party data in the future.
Objective: Creating unforgettable experiences and becoming First Choice!
Being First Choice is about meeting, or better yet, exceeding individual customer expectations in each and every experience. But, a seamless and consistent customer journey across all channels is crucial for accomplishing it! Personal channel preferences based on real-time customer profiles must therefore be captured.
Let's create unforgettable experiences together that will turn you into a First Choice.

4 | Establish cookie-free environments:
