Data is the foundation of customer growth and retention.

To grow and retain customers in today’s highly competitive business environment, companies must produce relevant, timely, and personalized marketing tailored to their customer’s needs, as well as exceptional customer service and seamless interactions across multiple devices and channels. 

Businesses must be able to activate segments and engage with customers on their preferred channels. High-quality data management practices allow organizations to do this, offering solutions that unify customer data across all platforms and provide deep insights about behaviors and preferences to create a strong foundation for customer growth and retention. Data management capabilities enable AI and machine learning to guide market segmentation and produce prescriptive analytics to heighten business intelligence about customers. With Infoverity as your data management partner, organizations can tackle these problems head-on and get more out of their data than ever before.

Customer Growth Challenges

Challenge 1: Finding the right target market

Businesses struggle to identify the optimal markets to target and the correct product fit across these customer segments. Organizations often lack the ability to centralize segmentation or make informed decisions to measure segment performance. The result is guessing at what customers want instead of effectively reaching them.

Challenge 2: Lack of 360 degree view of customer

For marketing and CX teams to be effective, they must be able to analyze all customer data, including data on demographic, geographic, behavioral, purchase history, and preferences, in a centralized manner. Data management provides companies with the 360-degree customer view they need for productive marketing.

Challenge 3: Lack of deeper customer insights

Many companies are not yet leveraging AI or machine learning to reach customers. Businesses that harness these tools can forecast lifetime value, churn, and other valuable customer insights. However, these tools can only work with reliable data, which is a major reason for companies to adopt data management practices.

 

Challenge 4: Driving connected customer experiences

Increasingly, businesses are moving from focusing on quality omnichannel experiences to connected customer experiences. To truly connect with customers requires data management. It offers a foundation and the tools to engage customers through consistent messaging across email, social media, and SMS, as well as business groups.
