"I know my marketing ROI could be better."
Who are your best customers? How much do you know about them? Do your marketing campaigns get the response you want? How quickly can you deliver them? Do you consistently reach your most valuable customers and attract new, valuable prospects?
The truth is that many companies have difficulty understanding and connecting with their customers. Unacceptable return on marketing investment is potentially the biggest challenge organizations face as they strive to interact profitably with customers.
What makes marketing ROI so difficult to improve?
- "I need to know more about my customers." A consistent view of each customer's behavior is critical for identifying your most valuable customers. Unfortunately, many companies find that customer data is scattered across the enterprise. It is impossible to have a 360-degree view of your customers when data from sales, marketing, service, operations and finance are all stored in different places.
- "Our marketing efforts are inefficient and often ineffective." Many organizations frequently miss deadlines for campaign execution, and the results of those campaigns are always disappointing. Moreover, organizations often lack the analytics necessary to exploit operational CRM systems and other data sources for better targeting and execution of marketing campaigns. When it is unclear which customers to target, which offers to make, or even how to respond quickly to changes in customer behavior, efforts to reach customers and improve customer profitability will fall flat.
