Marketing Objectives

The brand was a start-up looking at entering an already crowded, non-Indian CRM market. It needed brand awareness as well as building of credibility.

Solution

A multi-channel outreach plan was proposed encompassing emails, display, search and social media. Potential customers were targeted by company size, geography, work profiles and departments.

Leads by Company Size

 

The brand’s cloud based CRM and Loyalty solution was equally well received by small, mid-sized and large retailers. It was expected that small retail chains will receive it well, but it came as a pleasant surprise that mid-sized and large retail chains were also interested in the offering.

Leads by Geography

 

The brand’s offering was received well not only in mature markets but also in emerging markets. With this insight, they could plan for market leadership position in emerging markets while trying to replace the incumbents in the more mature markets of USA and UK.

Leads by Profiles

 

Directors and VPs responded most positively to the marketing messages, followed by managers and C level executives.

Leads by Department

 

As expected Marketing Department was most responsive to marketing  messages around CRM and Loyalty. It was also interesting to see IT departments in many retail chains took the initiative to explore innovative CRMs to support their organization’s marketing needs.
