CREATING A

ADVANTAGE

It’s difficult to differentiate based on price or product charac-teristics. It might work for a while, but usually competition catches up. However REALLY KNOWING YOUR CUSTOMERS and serving them based on their individual needs will set you apart. But traditional segmentation is NO LONGER ENOUGH TO CREATE CUSTOMER INTIMACY.

CHALLENGE: THE

THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE, BUT IT IS NOT REALLY ME A LOT OF THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION COMPANIES CURRENTLY USE ISN’T REALLY FOCUSED ON GETTING TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY NEED. AND ABOVE ALL IT DOESN’T TELL MUCH ABOUT WHAT THE SITUATION – THE CONTEXT – OF THE CUSTOMER IS RIGHT NOW.

MARKET NEED CONTEXT

IN WHICH MARKET SHOULD WE INVEST? SEGMENTING ON A MARKET LEVEL. FOR INSTANCE CORPORATE CUSTOMERS VS CONSUMERS.

WHAT SHOULD WE OFFER? SEGMENTING BASED ON DIFFERING ATTITUDES AND NEEDS. FOR INSTANCE TASTE, CONVENIENCE, OR COST.

HOW SHOULD WE TREAT A SPECIFIC CUSTOMER? SEGMENTING BASED ON THE SITUATION OF THE CUSTOMER. FOR INSTANCE VISITED WEB-SITE, ORDERED SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR IS AT LOCATION X.

VALUE

HOW CAN WE GROW LIFETIME VALUE? SEGMENTING BASED ON CUSTOMER VALUE. FOR INSTANCE HIGH-VALUE, CHURN-RISK VS UNPROFITABLE CUSTOMERS.

Different approaches to segmentation

REAL-TIME BEHAVIORAL DATA

CUSTOMER PROFILE DATA +

Contextual marketing is about understanding not just who someone is but where they are, what they are doing, and what they are likely to do next. It’s about combining the right information about a customer and the context to deliver the right services and communication at the precise moment it offers the most value.

understanding context

Needs-based segmentation

What should we offer?

PERSONAL CONTEXT

Different needs and motives drive the development of customer offerings

AtoB ”I need a car to get from one place to another”

Status ”I have money and power, and I want to show it to others. Everybody admires my car.”

Convenience ”I need to be able to trust my car. It always functions the way I wish.”

Lifestyle ”The car goes along with my lifestyle. I have my own personality and I want to experience it through my car.”

Green values ”I appreciate ecological values. My car does not pollute the nature.”

Behavioral triggers

When is the best time to

communicate?

IMMIDIATE CONTEXT

Knowing when a product or service is relevant to the customer is one of the

hardest things to do. But one that potentially pays of big time.

Identifying the right customer behavior that SIGNALS THE MOST PRESSING

CUSTOMER NEEDS and triggering communication based on that may

increase relevance and sales SIGNIFICANTLY.

WHEN?

TIMING HAS A BIG EFFECT ON RELEVANCE

SIMPLE REACTIONS TO CUSTOMER ACTION WILL MAKE THE CUSTOMER FEEL THAT YOU RECOGNIZE HIM – IT HAS A CLEAR FEEL-GOOD FACTOR TO IT.

Customer scoring

Which customers are most likely to buy?

RELATIONSHIP CONTEXT

READY TO BUY

The different situations of customers and prospects should be recognized. Some are just doing initial browsing, while others are seriously thinking about buying. To optimize sales results we need to distinguish between customers in different phases of the buying cycle. Automated lead nurturing programs can be used for customers that are not quite ready yet. That allows us to focus scarce sales resources on customers most likely to buy.

FOCUS SALES EFFORTS ON THOSE THAT ARE

Image: Marketo – The definitive guide to lead scoring

”Lead scoring is a sales and marketing methodology for ranking leads in order to determine their sales-readiness. You score leads based on the interest they show in your business, their current place in the buying cycle and their fit in regards to your business.”

SEGMENT 1: FAMILY

TRAVELER

The classic family traveler goes on holliday with the family and children. They want certain services that make traveling with children easier and that create unforgettable experiences for the whole family.

The scenario illustrates high , low and neutral emotional points. These all represent a potential customer experience design opportunity.

A SEGMENT OF ONE. NEW PLAYERS FOCUSING ON ADDING VALUE TO THE CUSTOMER CONTEXT ENTER OLD

MARKETS. THEY BREATHE LIFE INTO THE MARKET BUT MAY ALSO SHAKE UP THE VALUE CHAIN.

Good data is like the ears of a sales man. Without it you

have no clue what the customer needs.

Integrate traditional customer profile data with real-time behavioral data from all channels in order to

UNDERSTAND the need and REACT to the context .

DATA INVEST IN

For relevance to be meaningful, it must be as close as possible to real-time.  JUST LIKE BREAKING NEWS, RELEVANCE HAS A SHORT SHELF-LIFE and has its greatest value at the moment something occurs. 

Real-time segmentation – the here and now

REACT IN REAL-TIME RELEVANT TIMELY INTERACTIONS ARE POSSIBLE ON A GRAND SCALE ONLY THROUGH AUTOMATING PROCESSES.
