The document outlines Stacie's consumer journey across multiple channels including web, email, social media and mobile as she engages with a retailer from an initial online purchase, enters a sweepstakes, receives personalized recommendations and communications, makes additional purchases both online and in-store, joins a cookbook club, and opts to receive mobile alerts about related events. It demonstrates how cross-channel marketing can build engagement and loyalty through personalized, triggered interactions based on consumers' behaviors and preferences across touchpoints.
32. Unlike email inboxes, where most people are accustomed to
abundant marketing messages, customers still consider their
phones a personal and highly valued space.
Take every opportunity to connect with new customers via
mobile, relating to them in the spaces where your brand already
has visibility.
• In the inbox.
• In the mail.
• In the store.
• On your website.
• On social networks.
• In your CRM.

36. Once a subscriber has opted in to receive your text and push
messages, you don’t want to wear out the welcome mat—or go
radio silent. Just as you would welcome email subscribers with a
series of welcome emails, your mobile messaging strategy should
help your new subscribers get to know you, and it can take
anywhere from 10 days to two months, depending on your goals.
Remember that subscribers expect communications that speak
directly to their behaviors, preferences, and history with your brand.
As you welcome your new subscribers, keep in mind your targeting
criteria (like previous shopping experiences) to make your welcome
messages valuable from the start.

46. The more data you collect about your mobile
subscribers, the more your mobile strategy will become
increasingly personalized and less “batch and blast.”
• Offer important content through mobile.
• Incentivize subscribers to reengage.
• Incentivize them immediately post-transaction.
• Use mobile messaging to follow up after
person meetings
51. To monetize social
media, brands must
develop a plan to convert
fans & followers to email
subscribers.

When we set out on creating new editions of research, we look to our clients and marketers and consumers and asking them: “what’s next”. All of the stats, themes and info that I will talk about today come from the research.
“Businesses need to be able to truly serve the individual.” Well said. Traditionally, marketer have targeted groups of customers; a select audience.Marketers are now shifting their focus to targeting individuals; the individuals that exist within a select audience.
Email has survived more “guru”-predicted, near-death experiences than any other medium. The lesson, “_____ Is Dead” proclamations are foolish in a world fragmented by channels and devices. There’s more than enough room for everyone. This should calm some content marketing nerves who woke up to “Blogging Is Dead” headlines earlier this year. But it should also serve as a cautionary tale about beating a dead subject line. “_____ Is Dead” headlines are clearly provocative, linkbait. However, if you ride such waves too late or with a faulty premise, you run the risk of sending “rolling eye content” and losing your credibility. Don’t sacrifice accuracy for provocation.
