Gone are the days when marketers relied on guesswork – because, let’s face it, no one wants to gamble with tight budgets. But how do successful marketers stand out? What tools do the top performers use to truly understand their customers and capitalize on those insights? They use the power of first-party data to truly understand their customers, turning insights into action to drive measurable results.
In this blog, we’ll explore three powerful ways Mapp Marketing Cloud helps businesses activate customer data and transform it into actionable insights that drive sustainable success – with a sprinkle of AI to discover the real magic of customer-centric marketing.
WE'LL FOCUS ON:
Customer Segmentation
Predictive Analytics
Personalizing Experiences
These examples will demonstrate how you can power a data-driven marketing strategy to achieve higher ROI.
UNDERSTANDING CUSTOMER JOURNEYS: THE KEY TO SUCCESS
The first step in activating customer data is understanding the journey that leads customers to your brand. Every touchpoint – from their first website visit to the final purchase – holds valuable insights into customer behavior. Mapp Marketing Cloud’s Customer Journey Dashboard allows marketers to visualize, analyze, and optimize these interactions in real-time, identifying key moments that drive engagement and conversions. Additionally, it can also reveal the points where customers are most likely to ditch their shopping.
By carefully (and compliantly) tracking actions such as product views and add-to-cart behaviors, marketers gain a deep understanding of what motivates their audience. These insights can then be used to create tailored marketing messages that speak directly to customer needs. For instance, you could send an email reminding customers of items left in their cart, perhaps offering a discount, or creating a personalized landing page with offers tailored to their last purchase.
A real-world example of this in action is Ella’s Kitchen, which partnered with Mapp to create personalized customer journeys for babies and toddlers – or rather their parents. Their highly personalized newsletter program now reaches over 1.1 million subscribers, delivering valuable advice on children’s nutrition. By activating customer journey analytics, marketers move away from broad assumptions and start delivering personalized content that truly resonates with their audience. This not only deepens brand connections but also drives engagement and sales.
HARNESSING AI-POWERED CUSTOMER DATA SEGMENTATION
Unified customer profiles are the foundation for highly targeted marketing that is both relevant and timely. Whether it’s data from social media, email engagement, or on-site behavior, Mapp Marketing Cloud pulls all the data together to give marketers a comprehensive, 360° view of their audience. AI-powered segmentation then allows businesses to create dynamic, real-time user segments based on actual behavior across multiple channels.
The power of customer segmentation lies in creating hyper-personalized campaigns. By identifying and targeting the right audience, businesses can maximize their marketing efforts and see measurable returns. Mapp’s AI-powered segmentation analyzes customer behavior to create dynamic segments that can be activated across various channels, ensuring your campaigns are targeted at the right people.
For example, in eCommerce, brands can use segmentation to identify high-value customers who typically place larger orders. With AI, businesses can create a segment of these customers and target them with exclusive product launches and special offers, leading to increased average order value and enhanced Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).
A standout example is Class Editori, a publishing brand that uses Mapp Marketing Cloud to strengthen relationships with its readers. Offering them relevant content based on their browsing habits and preferences resulted in significant subscriber growth.
PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS: ANTICIPATING CUSTOMER NEEDS
In today’s competitive marketplace, predicting customer behavior gives brands a significant advantage. Mapp Marketing Cloud’s AI-driven predictive analytics allows businesses to anticipate customer actions, such as churn, conversions, or likelihood of purchase, giving them the opportunity to take proactive steps.
With predictive analytics, brands can focus on building marketing strategies that target future customer behavior. By predicting Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), marketers can identify customers who are likely to generate long-term revenue and tailor communications specifically to them, offering personalized experiences that foster loyalty and encourage repeat purchases.
It’s no secret that acquiring new customers is more costly than retaining existing ones. Predictive analytics can help identify customers most likely to churn, enabling marketers to launch re-engagement campaigns that prevent them from leaving – saving both time and budget. But predictive analytics isn’t just about retention. It also uncovers new growth opportunities by predicting the next likely purchase or recommending products based on past behavior. This not only improves the customer experience but also helps create a seamless, personalized shopping journey.
