Consumer Lifecycle Management As the consumer conversation becomes mobile, your app becomes the unifying force for relationship management Very large amounts of data and the ability to act on it Standardized, consistent metrics Interaction throughout the customer lifecycle Communicate based on stage of relationship Communicate based on location There s nobody standing between you and the customer. Question: is your lifecycle engagement active or passive?
Retargeting: active lifecycle engagement Retargeting: remind, re-engage, restart Using that data: what do they like? What do they respond to? Adjust creative, offer, message, timing/frequency Challenge: there are many channels to reach the consumer Mobile: Social, RTB, Ad Networks,... Desktop: cross channel brings desktop users to mobile Effective retargeting solution works across all of these channels
Build or buy a solution that integrates these channels
Takeaways Apps are a pervasive and persistent part of consumers lives. Brands can take advantage of the powerful connection between apps and consumers and the data that it generates. That connection and data will make mobile the default channel for customer lifecycle management. You need to build or buy a cohesive user acquisition and engagement system to take advantage of this relationship.
