Targeted Marketing… why does it exist?
Life of Buy: Plasma TV, 1999
The Customer Journey, Yesterday Simple, standardised, passive A fixed journey There was a typical path-to-purchase that all customers shared. Push communications Communications were primarily one-way, from brand to customer. Hearts rule heads Purchasing decisions relied on value judgements more than hard evidence. Single trip The journey ends at the purchase with little comeback or after-sales service.
The Customer Journey, Yesterday
Life of Buy: LED TV, 2013
The Customer Journey, Today Informed, complex, divided Power shift The game has changed: brands don’t sell to customers; customers choose to buy. Multi-channel Many channels, many locations, competing messages. Push, pull and peer-to-peer Brand-to-customer, customer-driven and customer-to-customer communication. Information overload • Consumers are better-informed but the journey is now complex and less personal.
The Customer Journey, Today
Life of Buy: Cloud TV, 2018
The Customer Journey, Tomorrow Precise, personal, two-way Not online Vs. offline, but inline Communications are networked to build the brand story irrespective of channel. A consistent message, universally broadcast Many channels, many locations, many devices, one conversation. Intelligent, dynamic and engaging Highly personalised, trigger-driven, data-rich communications. A one-to-one conversation Customer communications work together to micro-manage the path-to-purchase across a range of touchpoints.
