[separator headline=”h2″ title=”Forget Fragmented Systems & Fragmented Customer Data”]

Many organizations try to implement customer lifecycle marketing programs but end up with a collection of tools and systems that each addresses a narrow, specific need (like focusing only on ETL, data transformation, data visualization, propensity modeling, or campaign execution). Failure to create a comprehensive process from A to Z leads to lack of business results. To be effective every Customer Base Manager needs a single, integrated system that delivers all necessary functionality in a seamless way.

[separator headline=”h2″ title=”Exacaster Customer Lifecycle Marketing Solution”]

Our Customer Lifecycle Marketing Solution provides a comprehensive, integrated functionality & implementation services addressing all the Customer Base Management needs in one package.

[separator headline=”h4″ title=”Data Fusion & A Unified 360 Degree Customer View”]

One-to-one targeted marketing is the dream in many marketing organizations. The key ingredient in making this a reality? Rich, unified customer profiles. Our solution delivers incredibly rich customer profiles calculated from transaction data in one pass, real-time or batch. Profiles for every customer are updated automatically as the underlying data updates. Exportable to standard tools such as Microsoft Excel, Amazon S3 or Hadoop Data Lake , these profiles provide the data foundation for Segmentation, Data Mining, Event Detection and Predictive Analytics.

[separator headline=”h4″ title=”Segmentation”]

Most companies segment customers primitively due to:

• lack of know-how,
• lack of information about customers,
• inability to prepare complete customer profiles,
• insufficient data science skills.

As a result, marketing organizations suffer from symptoms such as these: New products that fail in the market because the 4P product elements (product, price, promotion, place) do not match customer needs; Low response to direct marketing activities; Falling market share; High churn; Negative perception of advertising.

Our Customer Lifecycle Marketing solution addresses these issues by delivering best-practice segmentation approaches and matches them to the needs of your business. We bring ready-made recipes to implement one or more of:

• Segmentation by Lifecycle
• Cohort Segmentation
• Value / Recency, Frequency, Monetary (RFM) segmentation
• Behavioral clustering
• Tactical segmentation with specific business rules (e.g. purchase of specific product)

[separator headline=”h4″ title=”Right Time, Right Offer, Right Customer”]

One-to-one marketing (sometimes expressed as 1:1 marketing) is a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy emphasizing personalized interactions with customers. The personalization of interactions is thought to foster greater customer loyalty and better return on marketing investment. 

We believe (and have data to prove it) that this approach delivers superior return on investment compared to all other approaches if three main aspects are covered: Right time, Right offer, Right customer.

[separator headline=”h4″ title=”Right Time: Real-time Triggers & Long-term trend detection”]

Our solution listens for real-time events via well-defined APIs that you can push events to from all touchpoints where customers interact with your organisation. At the same time, we scan the Big Data repository for trends that emerge over time. By combining these two aspects, we can ensure that the communication to the customer happens at the best possible moment.

[separator headline=”h4″ title=”Right Offer: Needs Insight, Next Best Offer Scoring, Test & Learn”]

Identifying right offer is at the heart of Customer Lifecycle Marketing. There are three main methods which we use to ensure that offers are relevant. First, we build a hybrid lifecycle / behavioral segmentation. It provides an umbrella that helps understand customer needs and lets marketing team understand what offers should be considered at all. Second, we deploy next best offer scoring which evaluates every offer for relevance to individual customer or a more specialized offer recommendation engine if equipment is included. Finally, we use test & learn methodology to measure response rates and rapidly eliminate non-performing offers.

[separator headline=”h4″ title=”Right Customer: Customer Lifetime Value, Customer Future Value & Predictive Scoring”]

When targeting customers, we scan the Big Data repository for relevant behavioral hints and clues. We use customer lifetime/future value assessment and propensity modeling to obtain multiple perspectives on the customer and decide if an offer should be given to this particular person.

[separator headline=”h4″ title=”Automation”]

Running properly personalized Customer Lifecycle Marketing is nearly impossible without a high degree of automation. Our solution makes comprehensive automation a reality with trigger-initiated campaigns as well as recurring marketing blasts with personalized content.
