Recommendations for collecting customer data

-collect personal data- names, mailing, email address. contact information allows for message personalization. Demographics include age, income, gender, profession. Overtime collect information about lifestyles, attitudes, interest, opinions. -Collect transactional data- when, how often, and what did customers buy from you? -Collect data during each interaction- phone, online chat, in-store, online contest entry, survey response -use customer relationship management software- CRM software allows for easy storage, tracking, manipulation, and usage of data. - Encrypt customer data- create a customer information privacy policy that explains the types of data collected, how data is used, whether it is shared and if so with whom. Allow an opt-out feature -to sell data or not sell data- firms can profit by selling their customer's data at least in the short term. customers drop companies that sell their information, assuming they can track the sale back to your business and they don't return. you must disclose your intent to sell data in your privacy policy -leverage data to add value to the customer- use the data to customize your communications and even your product. - avoid common mistakes- don't ask for too much data at once, don't collect data then fail to use it. don't limit your decision making to transactional data alone

An attractive market

The consumer buying process

Needs- transportation but satisficed in different ways Wants- articulating specific brands or attributes 5 stages to the buying process: 1-need recognition-marketer must engage in research that allows them to identify customer wants 2-information search-consumers seek out personal sources for information. Including opinion leaders, and word of mouth recommendations. Or use external sources for information including websites. All of this is used to weed out less desirable solutions and narrow down the choices to a few brands aka an evoked set. 3-alternative evaluation-very personal and varies customer to customer but, generally based off benefits and attributes that are important to the customer. 4- purchase decision- when they have decided they want an item the sales team must be careful not to cause them to back out due to feeling insulted or angered by salespeople. The marketers can also alleviate perceptions of risk by offering money back or no questions asked returns 5-post purchase evaluation-monitoring consumers reactions and product performance

proximity marketing

Segmentation and Target marketing

Ex: General Motors offered a car for every income level Key Benefits of segmenting and targeting markets -avoid head-on competition -develop new offerings and expand profitable brands and product lines -remarket older, less profitable products and brands -identify early adopters -redistribute money and sales efforts to focus on your most profitable customers -retain at-risk customers in danger of defecting to your competitors
