Increase Customer Participation in Value-Added Programs with Journey MappingE Source Companies, LLC
Your utility’s core business of delivering energy safely and reliably to commercial, industrial, and residential customers is running smoothly and efficiently. But getting customers to participate in optional offerings—whether they’re energy-efficiency programs or paperless billing—never seems to get easier. If anything, as you juggle the sometimes competing priorities of customer needs, commission edicts, and organizational goals, increasing program participation becomes more difficult. If you could improve the customer experience (CX) of those programs and make it easier for customers to engage and participate in them, you’d have happier customers, happier customer service representatives (CSRs), and happier executives. In short, it’d be paradise.
The Critical Relationship Between DSM Programs and Customer ExperienceE Source Companies, LLC
If you’ve been running demand-side management (DSM) programs for a few years, you know where you need to focus—or do you? Historically, if you homed in on energy savings, cost- effectiveness, and regulatory compliance, that’d be enough to meet your regulatory obligations and pick some low-hanging efficiency fruit. But in today’s rapidly changing energy landscape, that’s no longer enough. Your customers—you’re not still calling them “meters” or “ratepayers,” are you?—have never had more choices or been more informed about energy than they are today. Their expectations are high, and they don’t have to come to you to get those expectations met.
Why Intent Matters - Shift to the Consumer Journey to Gain a Competitive EdgeJornaya
When a consumer visits your website, visits a competitor's website, calls a call center, fills out a lead form, searches on multiple device types, she is leaving behind a digital trail that enables you to see that consumer's journey toward purchase. When you can see any of these individual events, you gain some insight into the consumer's intent in that moment.

5 innovative ways to improve Omnichannel Customer Experience | BusinessezeeBusinessezee
Use the omnichannel marketing strategy for your company. This marketing increases client happiness and encourages loyalty. The five methods to enhance customer experience are listed below.
Life cycle marketing for the automotive services industryCatalyst
Whether your goal is to increase ticket size, boost cross-sell, get customers to visit more often, or all the above, an effective life cycle marketing strategy can deliver the competitive difference you want.
Today’s retail customers expect flexible interaction channels that allow them to shop wherever they are, whenever they want – supported by personalised offers, a sufficiently high availability and assortment of product, and rich product information that enhances their shopping experience.
HOW OMNICHANNEL EXPERIENCES CAN LEVEL UP COMMUNICATION FOR ENTERPRISES.tanlakarix
Today’s customer journeys span back and forth between digital and physical touchpoints, weaving from one platform and one device to another as they evaluate their options and decide whom to do business with. If you want to reach them, you must be present where they are and use the channels they use – WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, SMS, Email etc.
At its core, omnichannel marketing is about removing any friction points or barriers to entry and communicating with your customers on channels they already prefer. It is an integrated approach to marketing that puts the customer first and builds a series of sales and marketing strategies around it.
بازاریابی چندکاناله یکپارچه ( Omnichannel Marketing) چه تفاوتهایی با بازاریا...Martech Academy
بازاریابی چندکاناله چیست؟
بازاریابی چندکاناله تقریباً همان چیزی است که به نظر میرسد؛ فعالیتهای بازاریابی که در بیش از یک کانال اتفاق میافتد. حتی اگر این عبارت برایتان جدید باشد، احتمالاً در بازاریابی چندکاناله مشارکت کردهاید.
تقریباً هر کسبوکاری، حتی کوچکترین شرکتی که با یک نفر اداره میشود، بازاریابی چندکاناله انجام میدهد.
برای مثال، تصور کنید که یک کسبوکار صنایع دستی کوچکی دارید و محصولات کاغذی سفارشیسازیشده را از خانۀ خود عرضه میکنید. اگر در استی (Esty) فروشگاه دارید (حضور آنلاین)، فروشگاه خود را در رسانههای اجتماعی تبلیغ میکنید (باز هم آنلاین) و در نمایشگاههای هنری شرکت میکنید (حضور آفلاین)، در بازاریابی چندکاناله مشارکت دارید.
بازاریابی omnichannel چیست؟
ایده اصلی omnichannel نه تنها باعث شناسایی همه کانالهای ارتباط با مشتریان میشود، بلکه تمام تعاملات مشتریان با کانالهای مختلف را در کل فرایند خرید (قبل، در حین و بعد از خرید) در نظر میگیرد. تجربه مشتری در تمامی کانالها یکسان و یکپارچه است. دغدغه بازاریابی omnichannel فقط معاملات انجام شده توسط مشتریان نیست؛ بلکه از طریق گردآوری دادههای رفتاری کاربران در کانالهای مختلف و آنالیز همزمان آنها، نیازهای مشتریان، تعاملات آنها با هر یک از کانالها و محصولات و برند را هم بررسی میکنند. به همین دلیل، انتقال پیامها و پیشنهادها به صورت یکسان و یکپارچه در تمامی کانالها، اعم از وبسایت، کمپینهای ایمیلی، شبکههای اجتماعی و فروشگاهها از اهمیت بالایی برخوردار است. بدیهی است که این نوع بازاریابی نیازمند سرمایهگذاری بیشتری است. بخش زیلدی از هزینه برای فراهم کردن زیرساختهای مناسب و هوشمندسازی و مدیریت ارتباط با مشتریان صرف میشود.
3 تفاوت مهم Omnichannel و Multichannel
بازاریابی omnichannel رویکردی است که تجربهای کاملاً مشابه و یکپارچه را برای مشتریان از اولین نقطه تماس کاربر با برند تا انتهای سفر مشتری فراهم میکند. بازاریابی Multichannel رویکردی است که برند را در محوریت استراتژی قرار میدهد و تلاش میکند پیام برند را در همه کانالهایی که کاربر در آنها حضور دارند، توسعه دهد. تفاوت اصلی این دو استراتژی، این است که مرکز توجه بازاریابی omnichannel ، مشتری است، در حالی که تمرکز بازاریابی multi-channel، روی این موضوع است که تمامی کانالها تحت پوشش قرار گیرد. در واقع، کانالها در روش بازاریابی multichannel به صورت مستقل و جدا از هم کار میکنند و هر یک از آنها استراتژی و اهداف خود را دنبال میکند؛ در حالی که کانالها در روش بازاریابی omnichannel با یکدیگر و با کاربران اینتگریت هستند. یعنی، تصویر کفشی که در وبسایت یک برند مشاهده میکنید، همان تصویری است که هفته بعد با یک درصد تخفیف از طریق ایمیل دریافت میکنید یا در تبلیغات اینستاگرام مشاهده میکنید.
Sophelle Focus Report | Product Findability: Connecting People and Products O...Julie Barile
Product findability is more than on-site search.
Doing product findability right connects the right person
with the right product at the right time. Consumers
don’t recognize channels, technologies, warehouse
locations, or drop-ship relationships. They are expecting
a seamless, frictionless experience, and retailers that
provide it are succeeding in the marketplace.
Connecting people and products effectively significantly
improves the customer experience and leads directly to
downstream benefits.
Customers want retailers to meet them with relevancy
wherever they choose to shop. Seamless customer
experiences across all touchpoints requires coordinated
operations, integrated systems, and shared data
throughout the enterprise. Retailers must find the right
mix of solutions for their products and customers.
Value added customer service is an important tactic for SMBs to acquire and retain potential customers, increase brand awareness and so on. Here are five ways build effective customer service solution to your business in order to increase brand presence at global level.
The Funnel Doesn’t Care About Customers; The Funnel Only Cares About The Fun...Brian Solis
Frictionless, integrated omnichannel is the baseline for next generation customer experiences. There are two sides to customer engagement and relationships that need your attention. There’s the experience customers have today of which they endure because it’s their only choice. There’s also the journey customers hack to work for them or worse, other companies design a path that’s more familiar, intuitive and meaningful because. Yet, either one of those two experiences represent the fate of companies that choose to invest in one or the other.
Leading digital analyst and futurist Brian Solis and Teleperformance share how to unite disparate efforts for an approach that's integrated, consistent and complementary.
The consumer landscape has changed over the last ten years. New digital and mobile platforms and devices have transformed the way consumers interact with the organisations they do business with.
Read our new white paper to understand why cross-channel segmentation is more important than ever to keep up with today's hyper-connected consumers and what are the 8 critical success factors for an effective cross-channel classification.
A Pinpoint Systems Corporation white paper discussing how companies must transform from being about them to being about the customer by:
-Committing to a philosophical and cultural shift
-Centralizing the 360° view of customer information
-Enabling intelligent outreach
-Enabling intelligent dialog
To support organizations in making the transformation from a product- and channel- focused organization to one focused on the customer, Pinpoint Systems has applied their expertise in the customer-centric space to create the Marketing System of Record solution, powered by the efficiency of the IBM Enterprise Marketing Management platform.
The tracking features of the solution allow analysts to complete these tasks:
• Attribute customer actions to specific campaigns and target cells.

New School Marketing: The cross-channel lifecycle marketing approach. Old school marketing is fading. And a New School is on the rise. Why? Because consumers have changed! Today, they fast forward through TV commercials. They’ve put down the newspaper. They junk unsolicited email. Because they have new options that better fit their digital lifestyle. They prefer marketers who talk with them, not at them. New School marketers deliver what today’s consumers want: relevant interactive communication across the new power channels: email, mobile, social, and the web. By responsys.com…
What is Digital Customer Experience, and How Can You Improve YoursNirvana Canada
Customer experience is a term used to describe a customer’s journey as they explore and discover your brand. In real life, this experience can include interactions with your people and products, which leads customers to form an opinion of your brand. Whether that opinion is positive, neutral, or negative depends heavily on how these interactions play out.
Digital marketing 101 key tools for engagement marketing
ONE For Auto
1. This new direction highlights the challenge: to provide
consistent and engaging experiences, fuelled by customer
insight across all current and future touchpoints.
To cultivate a direct and engaging relationship with a customer,
you need to know that customer. Easier said than done. In
a world where new technologies are driving more and more
customer touchpoints, each demanding that you operate across
them at scale, how can you possibly do this and do this in a way
that creates, fosters and maintains an engaged relationship
with each and every individual interacting with your brand?
Let’s imagine again, imagine that you could not only track but
actually listen to each individual customer as they interact
with you wherever and whenever they feel like it. Picture the
calibre of insight that would reveal. Imagine using that insight
and context to hold the absolute best conversation with that
customer, personalising their online experience and using that
same knowledge to inform your dealerships, service centres
and contact centres, enabling them to hold consistent, relevant
conversations or continue a previous conversation seamlessly.
Imagine doing this in a way that enables you to use data from
other systems and plug in other touchpoints as they emerge.
What’s more, imagine being able to use adaptive self-learning
models, based on previous customer interactions and responses
to personalise experiences to drive meaningful and valuable
engagement with new customers. Thunderhead’s ONE
Engagement Hub (ONE) has been designed specifically
to do all this.
Imagine arming your showroom sales team with a complete
picture of a customer’s car buying journey, an engine of insight
and knowledge made available to them the moment a customer
walks through the door. Real insight is essential when you
consider that 1 in 4 new car buyers aren’t satisfied with the
service they receive at car dealerships* and the average number
of pre-purchase dealership visits has steadily dropped from 5
to 1*.
Despite these trends, the dealership is still a unique necessity,
the best opportunity for a customer to really experience
one of life’s larger purchases as well as benefit from the
vehicle support offered over time. Shared insight between
manufacturer and dealership is key; with only one chance to
establish a relevant and engaging conversation, understanding
exactly what a customer wants from the get-go is vital.
However, as important as they are, the dealership is simply
another touchpoint, one in a long list that car buyers engage
with on a journey that will include websites, mobile apps,
emails, call centres, brochures and SMS. This list will only grow
as automotive brands look to the future to provide innovative
and sustainable ‘personal mobility’ solutions, that might
include things like connected cars, vehicle usage data and
charging points.
Longer lasting relationships
It’s no surprise then that car manufacturers are turning their
attention to developing direct and longer lasting relationships
with their customers and are seeking ways to better understand
and connect with them.
