Welcome to EngageMint 2018, Mumbai.

optimize their engagement efforts. Over the years, we
have realized that there is a latent need for changing
the way businesses approach user retention.
With EngageMint, we intend to empower professionals
with a fresh perspective, helping them move towards
the goal of ‘Stop Marketing, Start Engaging’.
So stay hungry, & dig into the knowledge our notable

Challenges Faced by Marketers Across
Industries: Keeping User Engaged
One of the biggest challenges faced by marketers is keeping users engaged with powerful
& contextually relevant content at regular intervals. When dealing with millions, manual
personalization becomes impossible - leads to higher churn & cart abandonment rates.
Customers feel annoyed about
incorrect personalization

Marketers struggle with

Challenges Faced by Marketers
Across Industries: Internal Resistance
to Adopting Marketing Technology
Internal resistance to change & lack of prior experience with using
marketing automation platforms are the top most barriers faced
by marketers globally. This problem is further fueled by the lack of
availability of tools with simplified on-boarding processes. For most
companies, a marketing automation tool is a means to send out mass-
blast communications with minimal personalization. (You guessed it -

One of the best aspects of adopting marketing
automation is the efficiency it offers. Marketers
around the globe are increasingly exploring
ways to drive contextual communication through
AI. This need to adopt martech is fueled by
rapidly evolving needs & expectations of users
- having a consistent cross-platform & cross-
channel experience being the most important.

Introducing the Stop Marketing,
Start Engaging Ideology
Given the vast challenges presented by evolved
customer behaviour, there is a dire need to change the
way we interact with them. Given the constant friction
between teams to drive growth via user retention,
there is a latent need for a fresh perspective of
approaching user engagement.
Marketing your product to users is passé. The only way
to achieve sustainable growth for online consumer
businesses today, is by engaging users with the right
message, at the right time.
‘Stop Marketing, Start Engaging’, is a thought
leadership campaign, spearheaded by WebEngage to
get the ball rolling in this direction. With this ideology,
we aim at changing the underlying thought with which
marketers currently approach user engagement &
retention challenges.
17. 16
The Story of EngageMint
It’s not easy to change the way people think. Especially
when millions of marketers have been solving user
engagement & retention problems with strategies
which bring in results.
But with #StopMarketingStartEngaging, we intend to
introduce a fresh perspective - one which allows you to
bring in 10x better results!
EngageMint is an initiative in this direction. By bringing
revolutionary thought leaders under the same roof,
we intend to create a platform looked upon by
marketing pioneers, product geeks & innovators
alike for inspiration, room to experiment & exchange
knowledge.
We sincerely hope that you leave this conference
today, a marketer reborn.

of your user experience.
