TweetChat: Meeting customers where they are

meeting customersThese days, customer journey has become as much of a catch phrase as “big data” and “content is king.” Everywhere you look, marketers are touting the importance of understanding the customer journey and marketing to the customer journey. Why? Because it’s true. Understanding your customer journey or lifecycle is critical in developing engaging content and marketing campaigns. However, it’s often easier said than done.

Most email marketing and marketing automation platforms are talking the talk but not walking the walk. Their version of customer journey marketing is customer campaign marketing. If the idea is to market to customers throughout their journey with your brand, why would you limit yourself with software that is only able to focus on campaigns? Secondly, how can you effectively use campaign management tools to engage with customers throughout every stage of their lifecycle?

The trick to marketing to customers throughout their lifecycle, or journey with your brand, is to know where they are in their path to purchase. Have they just become aware of who you are or have they been engaging with you via Twitter for months? Their lifecycle stage is a major consideration when developing engaging content and automated nurturing campaigns. Not only can their place in the customer journey determine how they should be communicated to, by whom and at what frequency, but it provides a clear path for the marketer — to get the customer to the next stage, one step closer to purchase.
