Learn how you can Unlock Limitless Customer Lifetime Value with CleverTap’s All-in-One Customer Engagement Platform.
You’ve heard the spiel before: this is an unprecedented time in history. The global health crisis affects every industry and every business. This is our new normal.
What this means for marketers of all stripes, particularly mobile marketers, is that you must now scramble to make sense of the chaos by working with one element that is truly under your control: your customer data.
By analyzing and acting on that data, you can make the right marketing decisions to keep your mobile business afloat during this period of uncertainty.
But this begs the question: what kind of insights help you make the right choices?
What you may not realize is that you have a veritable mountain of customer data available to you already.
Your customer data platform or CRM system is ingesting data from both online and offline sources: APIs, SDKs, third-party applications. Your support team is logging their direct interactions with customers. Your digital marketing team is seeing what users are clicking on, and which features they’re most utilizing on your mobile app.
You have demographic data and maybe even psychographic data> on your users that shows you what values they stand for and what lifestyles they lead. You will be able to tell if most of your users are now homeschooling parents or newly employed professionals or teenagers who won’t be able to march onstage for their graduation.
The first thing you need to make sense of your marketing efforts in this volatile period is to find out if you’re getting a good ROI on your campaigns.
You have to be able to see how your campaigns are performing, what users are doing in your app, and how close some users are to converting. This information will allow you to quickly shift gears when customers aren’t responding to communications.
In CleverTap, the Real Impact dashboard shows you a consolidated view of your marketing KPIs and how close you are to your targets. And all in real time. It does this by comparing the performance of your campaign on a target group versus a control group.
You can look at anything from Daily Active Users to average revenue per user to CLTV, reach, and conversion numbers— actually, any KPI that matters to your organization.
At a glance, you can see whether you’re getting a good ROI on your marketing spend. And if you aren’t, the real-time data makes it clear when to pull the plug on a campaign or pivot to new tactics.
Apart from a holistic view of your marketing efforts, you should be able to track the movement of the critical KPIs to your team.
In CleverTap, there are several more analytics reports that you can use to do this:
All this data however was never meant to be taken alone without an action plan. That’s where engagement tools come in.
Analytics alone will not be enough to help you navigate this period of uncertainty. Data without action is just an abundance of information. But when you use the right platform for your mobile marketing, you get both user data and the tools to turn that insight into action.
What you need is a way to capitalize on the micro-moment — that instance when people instinctively turn to their mobile device to act on a need to learn or do something. If you have your campaigns set up properly, you’re better able to connect with a customer when they’re ready. And even better, you can keep that engagement going in order to retain your customers instead of losing them to churn.
Some preparation is in order:
There are so many ways you can delight users with your marketing. The main principle to keep in mind is to provide value at every step, whether you’re sending a delivery receipt, a birthday greeting, or the latest discount coupon for your loyal users.
