The Peppers & Rogers Group is the leading authority of one to one marketing, beginning back in 1991 with Don Peppers and Martha Roger, Ph.D.’s first published text (now considered the bible of relationship marketing), “The One to One Future, Building Relations One Customer at a Time”.

In this white paper, they explore Customer Experience Development as a strategy to create optimal interactions with retail consumers, and make a case for a multi-channel communications plan. They also review two SmartReply client case studies (one each from The Sports Authority and from Casual Male), with interesting insights on what works, why, and how customers respond to voice marketing.

Seize revenue via stronger customer relationships.

You’ll learn the importance of managing interactions with customers across channels through Customer Experience Development (CED):

Relevance within each interaction
Trust built with each customer
You will also uncover why voice marketing is becoming a valuable tool for enhancing the customer experience and launching campaigns that drive returns.

Among 320 companies that responded to a recent Chief Marketing Officer Council survey, only a meager 16.8% reported that they had formal marketing performance measurement systems in place, even though 90% said that performance measurement was a priority. More importantly, 80% said they were dissatisfied with their ability to demonstrate ROI from their marketing initiatives.

“The best feedback comes from our store associates,” she says. “They’ve said they like it that several customers have come in and said, ‘I got a call from you guys’ and they appreciated that reminder.”

“First, it was,‘look for this postcard or coupon’.Then it became,‘you have a coupon waiting for you at the store.’So instead of being an adjunct, it [voice marketing] became the primary mechanism.”
