There is a new powerful business segment around here… Millennials: The new business segment in market. Millennials poised to be the biggest spenders, as they move into their prime earning and spending years, so millennials dominate conversations around product strategy, marketing, sales channels. The economy in one word. This generation is so different, so all brands must see and interact with them as a unique consumer in order to draw their attention and business.

The Research Proves It…We Cannot Wait to Measure the Customer Experience, by Dr.Jodie Monger, President & Dr. Cherie Keen, VP of Research and Client S

A 2002 Harvard Business Review article stated that after a year, customers who were surveyed regarding satisfaction with a service interaction (with a financial institution) were more than three times as likely to open a NEW account, less than half as likely to defect and were more profitable than consumers who had not been surveyed (Dholakia & Morwitz, 2002). The only difference between the two groups was that one was surveyed and one was not; neither group received any direct marketing from the company during the year. The impact of surveying customers was shown to be profound due to the customers’ desire to be acknowledged by the company; the company also remains top-of-mind when product choices are made, simply because the process of asking a consumer’s opinion allows people the opportunity to think about your products and services that otherwise may not occur (Dholakia & Morwitz, 2002). Since surveying customers is so important, how do you ensure that your customer satisfa

Time for CRM to Get Social.Why? Because 274 million people use some form of social networking.

Matthew Crook, CEO, SalesCentric , for destinationCRM.com The CRM industry once again hit the headlines in 2007 with Gartner stating that the market is set to slow down in the short-term. But enterprises are actually looking to embrace CRM in 2008 and Social CRM will be the product at the forefront of this change. Historically, sales people have been well known for keeping valuable information close to their chests. However, the climate is changing and we are now a society of social networkers, with an estimated 274 million people worldwide using some form of social networking site (according to wiki.answers.com), people are now sharing information between friends and organizations on a daily basis. This generation will be the sales people of tomorrow and they expect their CRM systems to work in a similar fashion. Sales people are traditionally very competitive and don't see how sharing information with their colleagues will benefit them. However, companies are now becoming more

Customer Analytics: It's All About Behavior, by Roman Lenzen

Customer Analytics: It's All About Behavior Not all 45- to 55-year-olds with a household income between $50,000 and $75,000 have the same purchase interests and spending habits. For this reason, static demographic data should not be used as the building blocks of a well-defined customer segmentation system. Demographic data may be used to describe customer segments (profiling), but it is much less effective in distinguishing interests and spending habits than customer behavioral data. Behavioral data goes beyond knowing that a customer has purchased a certain product. It involves capturing customer events and actions over time and using these stored interactions to determine typical behavior and deviations from that behavior. Customer analytics exploit customer behavioral data to identify unique and actionable segments of the customer base. These segments may be used to increase targeting methods. Ultimately, customer analytics enable effective and efficient customer relationship m

The report slots banking online consumers (defined by Jupiter Research as online consumers with a checking or savings account) into four buckets: switchers, movers, loyalists, and diehards.
