TRANSFORM YOUR CUSTOMER MARKETING Improve engagement, reach, and advocacy with online community 1 INTRODUCTION Customer marketers have a tough job. They’re tasked with keeping customers interested after the initial sales push, opening the door for sales to convince customers to buy more from the company, and finding customers who are happy enough to advocate for the organization. All of this requires you to be in tune with your customers' needs, which is a monumental task. The organizations who win at engagement make those customers feel like next-door neighbors. How can you reach the right customers when they're spread out across devices, interests, and locations?

Pdf the Abcs of Customer Data in Marketing
NOVEMBER 2020 The ABCs of Customer Data in Marketing Making sense of today’s customer data systems and platforms Copyright ©2020 Deloitte Development, LLC. 1 THE ABCs OF Customer Data IN MARKETING Creating deeper one-on-one connections with customers is increasingly important in today’s hyper-competitive, data-driven marketing environment. To be able to execute a personalization strategy, you should focus on three things: complete and accurate data; intelligent decisions based on insightful analysis of that data; and precise delivery that converts decisions into effective action. And if companies want customers to share personal data to enable that strategy, they will need to prove themselves worthy of their digital trust. The ways that you organize, sort, and derive insights from data have a direct, amplifying impact on the quality of your decision making and the effectiveness of the experiences delivered. But unfortunately, years of bolt-on systems and custom workarounds have left many marketing organizations with data that is highly siloed, fragmented, and difficult to access; and the solutions to those data problems are, themselves, an alphabet soup of Customer Data Management (CDM) technologies for marketing. Customer Relationship Management and Master Data Management. Data Management Platforms and Customer Data Platforms. Enterprise Data Warehouses, Data Lakes, Customer Identity & Access Management... It’s enough to make your head spin. Each customer data management technology services a discrete purpose. When working in harmony, they can deliver omnichannel insights and help marketers deliver personalized, relevant, and resonant experiences to customers. However, each vendor’s offerings differ in both subtle and significant ways, creating additional confusion even as vendors often tout their product as a panacea for all customer data management challenges.

In just a few years, it has gone from a tactical play often staffed with the most junior people in the marketing organization— or by interns and contractors—to a strategic function led by talented, senior-level professionals. Once mired in its own silo and subservient to virtually all other organizational functions, Customer Marketing suddenly emerged as a means for organizations to engage with their customers, turn them into advocates, showcase them as thought leaders, and recognize (reward) them for their loyalty.

In its earliest days during the 1990s, Customer Marketing wasn’t even called Customer Marketing; it was assigned the functional title of what was known as “Customer References,” a nomenclature that stuck until just recently.

The Marketing Plan
The Marketing Plan The most important part of a business plan is the Marketing Plan. To keep one’s business on course this plan must be geared toward the business’s mission—its product and service lines, its markets, its financial situation and marketing/sales tactics. ♦ The business must be aware of its strengths and weaknesses through internal and external analysis and look for market opportunities. ♦ The business must analyze its products and services from the viewpoint of the customer—outside-in thinking. What is the customer looking for and what does the customer want (benefits)? The business must gain knowledge of the marketplace from its customers. ♦ The business must analyze its target markets. What other additional markets can the business tap into and are there additional products or services the business can add? ♦ The business must know its competition, current and potential. By identifying the competitor’s strengths and weaknesses the business can improve its position in the marketplace. ♦ The business must make decisions on how to apply its resources to the target market(s). ♦ The business must utilize the information it has gathered about itself, its customers, its markets, and its competition by developing a written Marketing Plan that provides measurable goals. The business must select marketing/sales tactics that will allow it to achieve or surpass its goals. ♦ The business must implement the plan (within an established budget) and then measure its success in terms of whether or not the goals were met (or the extent to which they were). The Marketing Plan is an ongoing tool designed to help the business compete in the market for customers.

Enterprise Resource Planning
Enterprise Resource Planning Dr. Ebadati Kharazmi University ERP Systems: Sales and Marketing Objectives O Understand the sales and marketing module. O Recognize the interrelationships among business processes supporting sales and marketing, production, accounting and finance, and human resources. CASE: ATLANTIC MANUFACTURING O Atlantic Manufacturing is a manufacturer of custom configured small motors that go into jet skis, snowmobiles, and other recreational vehicles. Its customers represent major consumer manufacturing companies. SALES AND DISTRIBUTION O Salespersons have to call the home office for quotations for many products because of many possible configurations. O Salespeople are making quotas, but profitability is declining because the standard cost system is not providing accurate information with respect to costs. O Customers are asking for reduced lead times, which could be achieved if Atlantic’s engineers worked more closely with their suppliers. CREDIT O Recently, customers were put on “credit hold” when they were not able to pay on a timely basis. O However, when the credit manager was out of town for several weeks, an order went through to this customer by mistake. O Nothing could be collected on this account because the customer could not pay. CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPAIR O Atlantic has a stand-alone system to take care of field service. When service technicians repair equipment in the field, they do not always bill the customer for the correct amount since the system does not have information indicating which replacement parts are covered by the warranty. CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPAIR (Cont.) O Since the field service system is a stand-alone system and does not integrate with other systems within the company, quality control people mainly use subjective evidence to identify potential problems.
