The challenge: one customer group, many data sources and limited budgets. How do you communicate efficiently to your entire data base when you don’t have a consolidated data source?
A challenge faced by all businesses today and thus, their marketing agencies, is the proliferation and use of multiple data management systems in every area of business; (sales, customer service, finance, IT, etc.) with the need to consolidate that information to gain a more rounded view and understanding of customers within those disparate databases.
Our agency believes in a closed-loop approach to designing, executing and managing customer relationships. This means that we first consolidate the information you have on your existing customers, members and/or prospects. We can then either augment that data with 3rd party data or begin segmenting them into individual groups for direct marketing campaigns (best/loyal; most growable; at risk; target prospects etc.).
Doing so without re-deploying or re-investing in the existing database applications utilized within your organization becomes key to providing a quick turnaround and lower-cost deployment, which drives a higher marketing dollar ROI.
So we utilize our web-based solution tmDataIQ™ to consolidate and manage data between various data sources, which syncs with our digital marketing application to provide customized communications with real-time tracking and reporting from each campaign.
