4. A reminder of CRM
1.
Not all customers are equally valuable
2.
It costs 5 times more to acquire a
customer than keep an existing one
3.
Customers have different needs, which
need to be reflected in your marketing
communications with them
5. Frequency

Belfast
‘Old’
model
Were sending all their customer the same thing – a
large 32-page season brochure, costing £1 per issue
Return on investment 1.6:1
‘New
model’
Sent different customers different things
For 90% of the customers this meant sending them
LESS information, but more RELEVANT
Return on Investment increased to 21:1
9. The changing marketing
environment
Digital
explosion = Consumers
bombarded with content
Growth
of tools and sites to ‘aggregate’
and make sense of content for
consumers to digest
Expectation
of content matched to
need and preference
NB. This is no longer a ‘nice to have’ –
it’s essential!
10. email content - relevant
Tailored to match
my previous
purchases
General
message
to
everyone
12. And what about Social Media?
Customer
‘tunes in’ at
various points
Organisation
Broadcasts messages
Social Media
Organisation
Sends direct
messages
Customer
CRM / Direct
Marketing
They are different tools for different purposes
13. The results
– to build loyalty and affinity
by reflecting their needs back to them
with relevant (and personalised) content
Opportunity
– customers will ignore your
content as it isn’t relevant, and you will
lose them
Threat
15. The CRM cycle – building blocks

need to know what has worked

It
doesn’t have to be complicated
