They
automate e-Marketing campaigns based on planned sequences of interactions with a
specific customer or customer segment. ActionPlans are flexible enough to
support virtually any acquisition, retention or loyalty task. Additionally, they
can simultaneously track your offline marketing programs with your online
programs to provide a "single-view" of your customer. ActionPlans
can be "templatized" to detail "best practices" including
definition and metrics for the overall campaign, initiative and specific
actions.
Sample ActionPlan
Imagine two customers visit your Web site and fill their shopping cart with
several products. They are both good customers; however, only one person
completes the check out. With ActionPlans, the customer that made the
purchase receives a thank-you email and a 5% discount off their next order. You
know that the customer who abandoned the shopping cart is a high value customer
so as defined in your ActionPlan, a message is sent to that customer
offering a 10% off coupon. If the customer does not respond to the first
message, the next message would be more aggressive by offering 10% off plus free
shipping. Once the ActionPlan is designed, the process is automated, you
only need to track the results and refine the campaign, as needed.
Key Benefits:
- Improve customer relationships with personalized, relevant
communications.
- Efficiently manage customer interactions across multiple channels (Web,
wireless, email).
- React to customer behaviors, preferences or requests as they change over
time.
- Save time with automation of promotions and events, test campaigns,
up-selling/cross-selling, and order fulfillment.
- Increase overall consistency of customer communications, improve program
results and reduce errors.
Profiles
The key to targeted, personalized customer communications is a robust,
relevant customer profile database. The ClickAction eCRM Unified Customer
Profile (UCP) allows you to collect, store and manage subscriber profile data
that can be segmented to ensure delivery of relevant, timely communications. You
are able to target specific segments of your UCP by selecting segment profiles
from any field within the database.
Key Benefits:
- Maintain accurate information for on-the-fly segmentation as well as
personalized communication and timely information.
- Track customer interests, demographics and behavior gathered from
various sources including Web site activity such as: click stream data,
remote data stores, surveys and e-commerce transactions.
- Easily customize profile attributes and extend the database to meet your
specific needs.
Content and Publication
Design, create and publish personalized Web content and outbound messages
from templates, leveraging XML content repositories. Highly personalized Web
content and messages can be created and published by configuring pre-defined
templates. Rules combine with message templates to populate content in
individual messages for delivery to specific customers based on their profiles.
Key Benefits:
- Pre-defined message templates save you time by dynamically populating
message content.
- Provide relevant, one-to-one, personalized offers for individual
customers.
- Build customer loyalty.
Messaging
The Message Manager makes it possible to design, create and publish highly
personalized Web content and outbound messages. Message templates can be
designed for a variety of delivery formats, such as Web, wireless and email and
customized for each individual based on their communication preferences.
Customers who wish to receive messages on their wireless device would receive
minimal content designed for their specific device. Customers preferring to
receive information via email could receive the same message in a rich-media
HTML format including streaming audio and video.
The Message Manager also handles all outbound and inbound processing. After
you have defined your rules, segmented your database and created your messages
they must be queued for outbound processing. Once your messages are sent, the
inbound processor automatically handles all processing of undeliverable mail,
bounce-backs, unsubscribes and auto replies.
Key Benefits:
- One-to-one customization of outbound communications.
- Communicate with customers through their preferred channel.
- Increase response rates by distributing highly targeted messages.
- Meet the needs of your mobile customers.
- Ensure timely delivery of messages.
- Prompt replies to customer queries.
- Improve customer service.
