Since the arrival of our current era of digital transformation and the dawn of what we’ve come to know as cross-channel customer journeys, customer engagement powered by personalised experiences has long been key to driving critical outcomes, including long-term retention, customer lifetime value, and more. And with lockdown restrictions driving users online and accelerating digital adoption, creating physical distance between individuals and the people (and experiences) they know and love, and altogether blurring the lines between channels, customer engagement and delivering personalisation at scale have become all the more important.
If you want to achieve higher LTV and lower CAC, you need the right martech stack
Most companies lack a clear picture of what value their anonymous users are delivering. Another challenge? Most do not have a strategy for how to engage, retain, or monetise these individuals, leaving an untapped business opportunity unexplored. Be sure to watch our “Anonymous Users and Their Untapped Value” session for ideas about how your business can optimise these anonymous users.
It’s time to recognise the untapped value of anonymous users
The links between customer engagement efforts and key business outcomes, such as lower customer acquisition costs (CAC) and higher customer lifetime value (LTV), are well known. As consumers move between experiences and channels, brands need to invest in the right marketing technology ecosystem—integrating best-in-class solutions—in support of a responsive, relevant, and cohesive customer experience. In our “Power Personalised Experiences at Scale With a Built-for-Purpose Tech Stack” we explore how to build out the right suite of tools to meet your customers’ needs.
Next steps for accelerating personalisation and customer engagement at scale
