In today’s hyper competitive, digital world, organizations that use data driven marketing give themselves a fighting chance. No brand is secure just on brand equity alone. Just look at Kodak, Pan Am and Research in Motion (Blackberry). Executives who embrace DDM give themselves the possibility of being relevant to their customers. And, at the end of the day, that is what your customers want most from you.
2. Three Eras of Modern Marketing

Hinweis der Redaktion
In this presentation - Data driven marketing – I plan to use material (sourced and with permission) from Precision Marketing, one of the best books on this topic.
While the creative era gave rise to some memorable ad campaigns, they became less effective as marketers turned to direct marketing using database marketing tactics with a “1%” mentality. Today, the consumer has revolted. The 99% we reach with an irrelevant message gets angry and goes online to tell the world about how a brand just messaged something totally irrelevant. Today we live in the relevance era. Consumers expect brands to know more about them, and message them relevantly. It’s relevance or die!
At the end of this presentation if you take away one principle it should be this: DDM is all about relevance. As consumers, the volume of messages we get each day continues to grow each year. As marketers, if we deliver highly relevant messages, we can enjoy positive results. If we fail at delivering relevant messages, the consequences are severe.
The stakes are high. The cost or consequence of delivering irrelevant messaging is the relationship with our customer. Recent survey data supports that consumers are willing to sever brand loyalty ties when delivered irrelevant messaging.
Unfortunately, most brands are not yet getting this right. And, as a result brand defection is high, due mostly to delivery of irrelevant messaging. When a 40 year old woman in San Francisco is sent the exact same message as a 40 year old woman on Des Moine, Iowa, the brand mistakenly assumes the relevance is the same. And, it’s not.
The truth is the customer is “mad as hell and they’re not going to take it anymore!” And, that is because the customer is in control. All we have to do is tweet our dissatisfaction, or post it on a brand’s Facebook page, or post it on a forum and the brand’s customers see the complaints. We live in an open communication, digital world where the customer is in control.
The way for marketers to increase their chance of winning and keeping customers in the digital age is through data driven marketing. And, it starts with the collection of data from customers.
Although, the DDM tools have been available for decades, most brands have not adopted a DDM mindset yet. The reality is that until recently the tools were mostly limited to large organizations with large budgets. But, in recent years, small and midsize companies have access to DDM tools, which levels the playing field. Essentially, a $10M company can steal market share from a $10B company with smart DDM practices. The customer defection rates I shared a moment ago prove this out.
DDM marketing produces the results all brands want, more revenue, customer retention and loyalty, and ROI on marketing expenditure. If more organizations practiced DDM, the average tenure of a chief marketing executive would be more than 22 months. In fairness to the CMO though, it takes a village. IT must cooperate in allocation of resources to license, implement and support DDM technology tools. DDM is inherently dependent on technology tools, supported by an analytical mindset.
Let’s look at the forces of DDM. The first one is economics. Consumers want the best bang for their dollar. They are less loyal to brands who don’t deliver the best bang. And, the C suite is scrutinizing every dollar of marketing spent.
The next one is intensifying competition. In the digital age it’s easier for competitors to make inroads in almost any industry. Oracle saw Salesforce go from a scrappy startup to a serious threat in CRM software. Google saw Facebook encroach on their turf with the world’s most popular social network despite three attempts by Google to compete. New marketing paradigms allow competitors to reach and engage consumers like never before. And, the consumer that is wowed (in a relevant way of course) develops brand loyalty, provided the wow is backed up with a quality product.
The third force is advancing technology. The market for business analytics, marketing automation and optimization is growing very rapidly. IBM alone has invested $11B in recent years in acquisitions to be well positioned to capitalize on a $200+ billion market. As technology continues to become available to marketers to reach their customers in very relevant ways, businesses are allocating budget for it as they increasingly understand the need for such technology to use DDM to micro target customers with relevant messaging.
Again, this all amounts to becoming a marketer of relevance. Reaching and engaging customer segments with messaging that is meaningful and of interest is the winning formula.
Let’s look at an example of DDM. Tesco is the largest consumer goods retailer in the UK, comparable to Walmart in the U.S. Let’s look at how they leveraged their Clubcard to launch a DDM strategy.
In the 1990s Tesco recognized a problem with customer retention and set out to focus on the problem using a DDM approach. Once the objective was clearly established it was time to gather data about their customers.
Tesco launched a loyalty program under the Clubcard concept. Clubcard is a familiar loyalty program used by many retailers. As consumers purchase more they earn points that can be redeemed through vouchers. The Clubcard enrollment process collects baseline information about the consumer including demographics such as gender, single or married, kids and some dietary preferences. Clubcard is offered across many consumer categories. Transactional data allows Tesco to profile their customer.
Tesco uses about 20 different dimensions to create a meaningful description for the type of products purchased by Clubcard members. Through analysis of voucher usage, Tesco was able to analyze customer behavior so they could send highly relevant messages. For example, a customer who has never purchased wine would not be sent wine offers. But, a wine customer may get offers for specific types of wine, base on their purchase history.
Tesco offers relevant vouchers to repeat buyers of a product category to maintain loyalty and retention. If a customer stops buying a particular product, Tesco offers a “please come back” voucher. Using predictive analytics Tesco offers vouchers to cross sell relevant products such as a garden hose to a customer who has purchased other lawn and garden products in the past.
Tesco carefully makes relevant offers that reflect the customer’s previous buying behavior, being careful not to make offers that will not be relevant to each customer segment.
DDM has allowed Tesco to build customer loyalty and very impressive voucher redemption rates, allowing it to grow to be one of the largest consumer retailers in the world. .
Next, let’s look at how Tampa Int’l Airport uses DDM to attract new airlines.TPA’s objective about a year ago was to attract more airlines with direct routes to major cities. The economic impact of direct routes is substantial - $154 million and 1200 jobs.
After pouring through a lot of data, TPA official learned that 35% of guests in Pinellas county rented cars in Orlando. That meant that tourists were flying into Orlando with an interest in visiting Florida beaches. With a powerful buying rate in Tampa Bay, TPA officials decided to pitch their airport to Edelweiss, a popular Swiss airline with direct routes between Orlando and Zurich, Switzerland.
The pitch to Edelweiss was entirely based on data. TPA officials showed them that more 30 Tampa Bay companies do business in Switzerland and that 24 Swiss companies have subsidiaries in Tampa Bay, and how many European travelers fly to Orlando end up in Tamp Bay to visit the beaches.
The end results was that Edelweiss Airlines cancelled their Orlando to Zurich flight and instead launched their Tampa to Zurich flight. In the past year. DDM has resulted in TPA landing flights to Cuba, Switzerland and UK.
In today’s hyper competitive, digital world, organizations that use data driven marketing give themselves a fighting chance. No brand is secure just on brand equity alone. Just look at Kodak, Pan Am and Research in Motion (Blackberry). Executives who embrace DDM give themselves the possibility of being relevant to their customers. And, at the end of the day, that is what your customers want most from you.
