Collecting, organizing, mining the data and identifying the resources to handle it
Reviewing the path from optimizing the legacy program to truly personalizing content and cadence with a customer-first lens

Catch a buzz to keep your brain wired.
You need to know more than your customer’s name and email address—you need to know their buying behavior, motivations and how to quickly convert them. How can you effectively communicate with your customers and use personalization to increase their likelihood to buy? The leaders on this panel present solutions for:

Setting up automated emails and campaigns

Ensuring information delivered is worthwhile with content that your customers want to read

Segmenting emails accordingly:
o Acquisition versus retention
o Full price shopper versus discount shopper
o Real buyers versus aspirational buyers

Making sure you are not overspending but rather assisting the sale

14:10 - 14:35 Delivering Personalized E-Mails From Online Behavior

eMail marketing can be one of the most effective revenue generators available to retailers today. By tracking and analyzing customers’ browsing and purchasing behavior, one is able to effectively build personalized eMail campaigns that maximize customer value. In this session, Eric discusses how he builds Cabela’s e-mail success with these tactics:

Being more effective with budget: no more “blast and batch emails”

Automating personalized eMail based upon search and shop behavior

Building a lead-generation database: what product to “pitch” based upon CRM search and shop data

Creating inviting dialogue to sell the product: enticing the buyer knowing what their desires are, or special milestones to play on an emotional aspect

Looking at the lifetime value of the customer you are communicating with—are they responding to your messages?
