Recommendations Transition best practices from the Web to mobile apps to ensure customer engagement. Marketers have infinite opportunities to modify, test, analyze and personalize their Web sites. However, mobile apps are different: They are a unique channel and thus require a platform that has been purpose-built for managing the ongoing life cycle of customer engagement in a mobile app environment. Act on insight to achieve higher return on mobility. Just having the data without acting on it won t deliver solid business results. When it comes to mobile app analytics, many technical employees may have easy access to performance data, but non-technical users can t get the right data, trust the data or get actionable insight from it. It doesn t help to have data if the right people can t use it to improve business results. Location, Mobile Loyalty Programs, Cross Channel and Social All Drive Need for MobileFirst thinking. Mobile loyalty plans provide the ability to get a rich customer profile. That information can be used more effectively to create more effective and targeted real-time offers. Page 17 Copyright 2014
