Get to know them and their expectations and you can:

  • measure more closely the success of your products and services

Profiling customers

Get to know your existing customers and identify new customers

  • Gathering information on your existing customer base
  • Profile these customers to establish clear segments or customer types and identify what attracts them to your product or service and why
  • We can then select the most relevant marketing activities to develop these customers
  • Using this information will enable us to identify potential new customers within specific segments
  • New prospects can then be targeted with specific and relevant campaigns that push the right buttons

Your existing customer base is your goldmine

As well as developing new business, don't forget about the customers you already have.  Existing customers need to feel the love!

Datamining and segmenting your current customers and understanding their buying behaviour will enable you to focus to three key areas:

  • Increasing the value of each order
  • Increasing the order frequency
  • Maintaining customer retention

We help you develop clearly defined and focused marketing campaigns for your existing customer base

  • Your contact with each existing customer should be part of a multi-level strategic campaign
  • Plan this in advance and tailor the marketing communication pieces to the specific target group
  • What works for one will not work for all
  • We help you develop your marketing communication tools to provide optimum relevance for your target audience

Increase sales to your existing customers

  • We help you gather and profile your customer information
  • We also help you identify the best opportunities within your customer base for potential new business 

New customers are crucial to any business

  • Once we know your potential customers we focus to attracting, engaging, presenting and converting
  • Your existing customers are a goldmine – knowing who they are, what they buy, when they buy and why they buy allows us to develop marketing initiatives to retain and expand them

New potential customers need carefully selected and specific communication methods to make them respond

  • New customers are crucial and there are several ways to get them to buy
  • Every industry has different methods of attracting new business depending on who they are trying to reach and the buying behaviour of that sector
  • Whatever the method, the fundamental principle is to:

Attract

  • Who are your target prospects?
  • What's their persona?
  • Where will you find them?
  • What motivates them?
  • What will they respond to?

Engage

Identify their requirements:

  • What is their challenge?
  • What is your solution?
  • What's your tone of voice?
  • How will you engage them?
  • How will you get them excited?

Match your offer to their needs

Present

The approach will differ depending on the medium. Exhibitions, for instance, take a different approach to a direct mail campaign. How will you communicate?

  • Via social, web and blogs?
  • By email campaign?
  • By phone or SMS?
  • By direct mail?
  • By video channel?
  • Or a combination of channels?

Convert

The right selling process needs to be in place to enable this to happen. There is no point in generating new business enquiries if you don’t have the resource or mechanism to close the sale.

  • Who will follow up the enquiry?
  • Internal or external?
  • Sales or admin or marketing?
  • Pro-active or reactive?
