Integrated strategy, conceived and executed in partnership with our clients, is the most holistic
approach. But we can also work on the individual pieces. Here are some of the pieces we can tackle:
- Social Media Advertising
With rapidly increasing targeting sophistication and reporting, social advertising has finally come
of age. We can work with you to formulate strategy, find the best channels, create and run ads,
tabulate results, and optimize.
- Search Engine Optimization & Paid Search
At its best, Search can bring the most qualified prospects, ready to engage or buy. At the other end of the
spectrum is a casual browser or poorly targeted traffic, both of which can deplete resources with
very little return. We dig in deep to uncover your optimal keywords (our Keyword Discovery
process is very detailed and extremely effective). We put robust strategies in place that make your
website a tool for attracting targeted traffic, and SEO and PPC work in tandem. We help in leveraging
learnings to optimize search campaigns (which includes YouTube, of course, as well as search engines
other than Google, should the need arise), keeping in mind both your long and short term acquisition
goals, as well as your ROI.
- Lead Scoring & Nurturing (B-to-B)
70% of your incoming leads are not sales ready, but will purchase in the future, either from you or
your competitor. Ignoring them will likely result in the latter outcome, yet passing them to sales
too early only leads to a clogged pipeline. We can identify these future opportunities through a
scoring scheme, set up automated multi-channel programs to nurture the relationship, and help build
a sense of value and trust, as well as pinpoint the right time to share these leads with your sales
team. Helping in selection of marketing automation software is also one of our areas of
expertise.
- Email – strategy and execution
Email is a powerful retention tool and an essential nurturing component. Segmentation and targeting,
as well as fine-tuning offers, messages and timing are all keys to success. We can run your email
programs as well: advise on selection of ESPs and/or work with the one you've selected, upload
creative, run and report on analytics, make recommendations for improvements. We can write copy
too.
- Organic Social Media
The question is no longer "should I be using social media?", but "which channels and how?" We help
you make sense of what makes the most sense for your business.
- Traditional Direct Mail
Direct mail remains an excellent acquisition channel, poised to regain popularity because of the
diminished competition in the mailbox. It can also work well in retention and re-engagement of
lapsed customers. We can do it all – from strategic list planning to creative, as simple as a
postcard or as complex as a dimensional mailer.
- Catalog circulation, merchandising and creative
Determine optimal mailing frequency, historical and predictive segment response to offers and
merchandising mix; merchandising and creative treatment based on in-depth analysis; front and
back cover strategy.
- Database - unlock the potential
Data hygiene – check! Segmentation and data mining – check! Predictive modeling –
check! Good data = high customer value, profitable targeting & conversion optimization. We help make
sense of your data & put it to good use.
- Quantitative & Qualitative Research
Deep insights into your customers' psyche. Strategically structured surveys, reverse-engineered with
your end goals in mind: design, recruitment, execution, analytics and actionable ideation. Plus,
highly innovative qualitative with the help of our partner, scenarioDNA.
- And much more
- Added value programs
That special something, be it a premium, a sweepstakes offer, a newsletter or survey, which can
increase customer response, make a website stickier, or provide relevant information resulting
in improved loyalty.
- Web site usability & ecommerce advice
The importance of having a user-friendly web site, forms & landing pages, and checkout process
cannot be underestimated: site usability has been reported as the third in importance (preceded
only by prices and shipping) in influencing consumers' decisions to purchase.
- Account Based Marketing (ABM)
Target key desirable accounts with hyper-personalized nurturing campaigns
- Retargeting
Only about 2% of your web site visitors convert on the first visit. Retargeting goes after
the 98% who got away, aiding in recovery of lost revenue.
- Prospect activation programs (aka Lead Nurturing for B-to-C)
Multi touch integrated communication streams which convert browsers into buyers
- Loyalty programs and customer engagement
Deliver timely and relevant information and incentives for maximum profitability based on past
behavior and predictive modeling.
- Lapsed customer reactivation
With a systematic approach to customer retention, reactivation efforts become obsolete - but
should the need arise, we're here to help with targeted programs, segmentation and
incentives.
- Financial planning and reporting
Metrics recommendations; budgets, reforecasts; segment, source and campaign reporting; response
and profitability analysis.
- ROI and lifetime value evaluation
Assess current and potential profitability and sources of profitable customers
