Attitudes
SMS most private, followed by email. Push not considered to be at all private… why is that? Maybe because it pops up on your phone
Your app team need to consider the nature of messages deployed via push. Your SMS team need to consider how private or invasive the experience they provide is.
Direct mail colossally slow, SMS by far the most immediate. No surprises
Occasional can mean “used conservatively” so it doesn’t mean don’t do DM, it just means craft it.
Push most sophisticated, medium rather than message. Email interesting one here, perhaps because of the complexity which is possible in email.
More complex things require better orchestration. More simple things should not be made more complicated just because – the receiver must find it simple, also
Turns out people love email. We expected SMS to be more negative but we were surprised to find it level with push. People hate DM
Considered by marketers to be by far the most valued channel. Attribution is baked into email and it’s cheap to run. We expect push (and more advanced concepts in push) to grow in terms of value perception but there is the “table stakes” factor.
Footprint-wise,
If you are to build a team of capable individuals who can execute exceptionally in channel, it’s vital that you equip them with intel. Not knowing is what creates the mistakes, inconsistency and cost. Put your data somewhere, put BI on top of it, share.
Okay, this is hard. Maybe not ‘content’ but ’content objectives’. Channel will always influence the kind of content you produce but having a clear objective for each message is vital.
So now you know channel personalities
Grow teams who “speak that language”
Single objectives won’t work, a rich, balanced approach to measurement will ensure that you have the right behaviours
