Top 3 Ways Big Data Will Transform Digital Marketing in 2013Gleanster Research
Marketing is evolving. At times faster than some of us can keep up. Every good marketer can attest to the complexity of managing multi-channel execution; fragmented data, fragmented solutions, and ultimately, a fragmented customer experience. Execution is hard enough, but then there’s measurement and justification of marketing spend across channels. Is the data available across channels? Is the level of granularity on analysis actually useful for campaign optimization?

Change is afoot. Now more than ever, consumers are demanding more intimate interactions and world-class customer service. Share of wallet is rewarded to organizations that create highly relevant and personalized customer experiences. That means corporate marketers are increasingly relying on local and field resources to engage with local audiences more intimately. Marketing is no longer a centralized function!
Unfortunately, for industries with a distributed sales and marketing presence (like Insurance, Financial Services, Franchises, Pharmaceuticals, and Hospitality) empowering local resources is challenging. It’s all too common to see fragmented and disconnected systems supporting customer communication in these industries. Corporate marketing struggles to control the brand which ultimately leads to less autonomy in local markets.
Learn how Top Performing distributed organizations are embracing multi-channel communications and achieving industry leading performance as a result.
You’ll learn:
• 7 Secrets to Top Performer Success
• The role of technology in powering brand consistency AND local autonomy
• Industry specific trends for the recent Gleanster 2012 survey on Distributed Marketing

"Retailers across categories are rethinking their brick-and-mortar strategies, shifting from pushing sales to building communities. In fact, new data from Retail TouchPoints and TimeTrade reveals that more brands are experimenting with pop-ups, product launch events, influencer events and classes to drive in-store traffic, build local engagement and even drive bottom-line results. During this webinar, RTP and TimeTrade will provide an exclusive first look at the results, delving into:
• Trends in experiential retail, including top tactics, promotion and amplification trends, and more;
• Common challenges in experiential strategy and execution; and
• Missed opportunities and areas where retailers can improve."

"Successful retailers recognize that their front-line employees are much more than just shelf-stockers and cashiers: they are absolutely critical to creating the kind of unique, memorable customer experiences that differentiate a retail brand. Unless their employees feel that they are an engaged, vital part of the shopping experience, retailers are finding that it’s nearly impossible for them to execute on customer experience (CX) initiatives.
By tapping into the Voice of the Employee (VoE) — which involves collecting, managing and acting on employee feedback — and by linking it to Voice of the Customer (VoC) programs, retailers can get the data they need to enhance employee engagement. And with Millennials and Gen Z employees entering the workforce, their desire for finding connection and purpose at their jobs increases the necessity and value of such programs.
This Retail TouchPoints Connected Consumer Series webinar, sponsored by Medallia, will use real-world retailer examples to explore how VoE and VoC can be successfully linked, and how retailers can use the data and insights generated by these communication initiatives to build employee engagement, enhance the customer experience and boost the bottom line. Additionally, attendees will learn what’s needed to establish a VoE program; what to look for in a partner; and how best to use the information that the program generates to achieve desired business results."

"The last mile has become a customer experience battleground for retailers, but it’s one that brands can win. While Amazon has raised consumer expectations around delivery speed, what shoppers really want are delivery options tailored to their needs — including self-service options; visibility into where and how their delivery will arrive; and no-hassle resolution when issues do occur. Retailers that focus on last-mile improvements reap benefits such as higher NPS scores, increased AOV and greater customer loyalty.
In this Connected Consumer Series webinar from Retail TouchPoints, sponsored by Convey, attendees will learn how Delivery Experience Management (DEM) provides the single source of last-mile data and tools needed so that retailers can actively manage deliveries efficiently, at scale. Nearly 12% of all shipments encounter some kind of issue, from delays to damaged packages — retailers can either head off problems before they occur, or quickly resolve them to the customer’s satisfaction. With DEM, retailers can ensure customers get their orders how and when they expect, taking intelligent action to correct issues along the way and uphold brand promises.
DEM best practices from retailers including Grove Collaborative, Uncommon Goods and Neiman Marcus will illustrate how retailers can proactively turn around negative shipping experiences, and often avoid them altogether. Expert commentary from a leading industry analyst will identify key last mile challenges and reveal what retailers can do to address them, resulting in efficient transportation, top line growth, and happier customers."

"From Amazon opening physical stores to Facebook opening a marketplace, the retail world is changing. Fast. And consumer behavior is the driving force behind much of that change. Brands and retailers have shifted toward “omnichannel” strategies across the retail landscape to target the increasing number of consumer touchpoints as well as the convergence of channels, business models and customer experiences. But e-commerce marketplaces are still a vital part of this changing landscape.
In this webinar, we’ll talk about recent consumer trends and specifically how brands and retailers can leverage e-commerce marketplaces to capitalize on them.
You’ll learn:
• An overview of omnichannel 2.0: Stores, delivery, mobile and voice
• Why marketplaces fit in well with current omnichannel trends
• Which domestic and international marketplaces you should consider

"The physical store is by far the most powerful media channel your brand has - a living, breathing, experiential story about your brand, your values and the things you sell. The new role of stores is not simply to distribute products, but to distribute remarkable and memorable experiences.

What cultural onboarding, training, skills and tools do your frontline staff need in order to be your stand-out storytellers - the trusted voice and face of your brand.

"Does the task of identifying what existing content you can use for a new campaign bring on a cold sweat? Can you justify the cost of new content, without knowing exactly what you’ve got on hand? Content audits are the gifts that keep on giving, unwrapping new opportunities as you analyze the results and identify opportunities for targeting existing and new personas; diversifying your formats; and identifying neglected buying stages. The results of a custom audit can go further to give you laser focus on a specific campaign, a trending topic, or a new theme or persona. Presenting the results of a content audit can also help educate stakeholders and gain support for making investments in content marketing best practices.

The importance of identifying critical audit criteria to align to the desired outcomes

Data fuels every marketer’s strategy, but not all data is created equal. To be successful today, marketers need to be able to effectively analyze, optimize and maintain data accuracy as the first steps to gaining true insight. This is particularly true for account-based programs, where visibility into key decision makers is imperative. As the saying goes, “Garbage in, garbage out.” If the data going into your CRM is incomplete, incorrect or simply not the right data, any programs that rely on that data will deliver disappointing results.
During this webinar, David Cowings, Chief Marketing Data Scientist at RingCentral, and Chris Lynde, CEO of SaleScout Data Solutions, will share the steps needed to optimize buyer contact data and sales intelligence, with real-life insights from RingCentral’s demand gen data optimization process.

8. Today’s Buyer is King
Buyers are constantly on-line whether
they are actively buying or not.
Many times, buyers know more than
sales people.
Buyers learned to buy as consumers and
have a consumer’s expectations of
service.
Buyers know and expect value and
they will reward vendors that give it to
them.
38.7% of IT buyers have replaced an
incumbent vendor on the basis of
treatment during the buying process (vs.
product functionality or other reasons)
