If you don’t know who you’re talking to, it’s almost impossible to be relevant.
If you’re not managing the journey your customer is on, someone else is.
If you can’t decide which of your offers are most appropriate, you can’t expect your customer to do it for you.
If you can’t get your message delivered at the right time, it doesn’t really matter how good it is.

So they shifted to sending generic messages that could reach the masses. But today's customers expect a more personal touch. Learn why now is the time to start using everything you know about each customer in order to deliver the perfect customer experience.

Before digital, a thoughtful sales associate in a physical store could quickly connect with customers, perceive their interests, and present products that resonated with them before they even knew what they wanted.

But many retailers struggle to match the old world success that a well-trained associate could achieve in matching a shopper with a brand’s products.

Editor's Notes
I manage a contextual marketing agency based in Manchester.
I get excited by the possibilities of digital and equally get frustrated because marketers don’t adopt and adapt fast enough to these posibilities. We all know what happens when we don’t adapt fast – extinction. There are some studies which say that businesses that don’t adopt contextual marketing and become relevant by 2020 will go to the wall.
So just to distract you I want to talk to you about chimps and humans instead for a minute.
Most marketers I meet still manage each campaign by channel in isolation? Its well organised they say.
They mostly don’t understand the needs of the prospect in real time, in any relationship that would spell doom.
Your customers are not behaving this way, they are on facebook one minute, opening an email next, watching TV etc.
How do you bring order to the chaos?
We need some new thinking!
We need to bring customer centricity in our marketing culture.
Understand the preferences so you can influence them
The first telegram was sent 170 years ago in May 1844.
First it was printed direct mail and then more recently email
Similarly most websites are static today, they are not personalised to the visitor.
Major ISP’s now have priority Inboxes, which means emails are segmented based on what recipients respond to.
As things stand if you are not relevant your email is not going to get seen.
Your prospects get detached from your brand.
Your marketing database decays over time.
You keep spending more and money on acquisition.
Not a great cycle to be in so what does this mean to you?
As you can see the more relevant we become the more conversions we get and the more revenue we generate.
Ultimately its about establishing long-term relationships.
Personalise all your touch points whether they are emails, web pages.
It does not mean stopping at ‘Dear John’
What we are looking for is the intent of the user and react in real time.
Relevance is underpinned by user data
Creating an ecosystem that harnesses user data has to be no. 1 on the list.
Getting that data model right is paramount.
Example : Ink cartridges – you buy, use and buy again. There is a cycle.
What does the vendor know?
Personal details
Your location
Make and model of the printer
The frequency of purchase
Time between each purchase
The price paid
Was it because of a promotion?
The intent is evident when this score changes
Tailoring user experience based what you know about your prospects
On the most valuable prospects like abandoned baskets
Automation and personalisation tools are now affordable and easily integrated into your marketing ecosystem.
‘recycle customers’ bar need to be an arrow from the bottom to the top.
We are looking for intent
I get excited by the possibilities and frustrated because marketers don’t adopt and adapt fast enough. We all know what happens next – extinction of businesses that don’t.
So just to distract you I want to talk to you about chimps and humans instead for a minute.
We all know we share 99% of the DNA.
But the difference lies in the neocortex, its much more advanced in the humans
Control of fire was transformative for the human race, we could cook and stay warm. Chimps never managed it.
We humans conform and expect conformance. In different human cultures we dress differently but in the main we conform to some kind of a dress code. If I walked down the street naked, it would freak out other people. Chimps also have complex cultures but they do not conform in the same way.
Chimps can communicate e.g. they can do simple arithmetic, recognise symbols, a series of letters make a word, know what that word means, but what sets humans apart is the ability to ask questions. No chimp even after decades of training has ever asked a question, infact no other animal has ever asked a question?
Humans like to learn but more importantly we like to teach, this allows us to develop cultural complexity, hand down traditions, technology advances etc. The words I speak were developed hundreds or even thousands of years ago but through learning I am able to use them and communicate today. Chimpanzees do not teach each other and they are actually known to be poor learners.
Chimpanzees are able to create technology, but its physical e.g. rock hammer or a rudementary spear. Humans however, with every generation have been able to evolve technology – early humans could not build an iphone but over thousands of years of learning we were able to! This pace of change keeps accelerating.
We see the same in marketing – new technology, tools, processes have evolved over the last 15-20 years, but how many have adopted them. Most marketers seems to think that a website, a ppc campaign and monthly email newsletters are enough – its working and I am getting an acceptable ROI. Well I want to show how much better can it get.
From the bottom step – we need to put an arrow back to the top to another box ‘ recycle leads’
