Big Data in the news…
14# BDVD # FutureM
Analysts & Techs Quoted: • Kantar Retail • Symphony IRI Group • Catalina Marketing Modiv Media’s “Scanit!” device• 89 Degrees
Article upshot: Don’t blame Wal-mart The customer has all the power
Example: Kroger (coupon response)• 70% of targeted • 3.4% of mass mailed
The corporate view: big data in marketing
17# BDVD
Emerging stages – some business sectors have gone mainstream; Marketing is tooling catching up
Mainly departmental - not much data integration or sharing
Intuition based on business experience is still a driver; data analytics plays a supporting role
Data challenges persist: accuracy, consistency, access, realtime
Talent shortage - challenges business to apply results
Culture’s role: orgs with a “culture of measurement “ succeed

The corporate view: big data in marketing1. CXOs now paying attention. Why?• Competition – lead, catch up, patch up PR • Predictive Intelligence – detect, adapt, seize opportunity • Optimization - don’t want to leave money on the table
2. Elusive answers are suddenly more attainable • Operations, Sales, Marketing, Customer Care, R&D, etc.
3. Transformation can now be justified with data• Train managers as analysts so they can produce and consume data• Rely on their business knowledge to interpret and act on data
4. Priorities can be tuned • Identify top few “needle mover” opportunities and focus on them • Decision support can gain visibility based on proven results

Millenials are Digital Natives – mobile, social and always on
They blur the lines between the digital and physical world They are less concerned about what’s going on with their data *By 2020, they will account for 50% + of retail spending
Post-millenials are growing up digital *
They seek trust, transparency and authenticity

# FutureM
It’s not about data & dashboards, it’s about culture & context.
Ask: how can data help solve problems and guide decisions?
1. Decide which challenges you’d like to address. Examples: reducing customer churn ● improving sales reducing inventory cost ● improving upsell / cross sell improving service ● improving user experience
2. Develop a use case – customers, partners, departments, staff3. Run a pilot project – involve those end-users 4. Invest in ways that will help meet your challenges.

Multivariate Testing - testing more than one element of an offer, website, email etc. in a live environment. Multiple A/B tests.
Grail quest: optimize content across channels and contacts
Limits: • Time – to obtain statistically valid samples • Complexity – although tooling helps greatly • Computing power – although Cloud apps / hosting helps
Ways to test your own data
Contacts
Content
Channels
58# BDVD # FutureM
Online is easiest (but offline can be tested, too)
Email: • Open, click & convert rates
Website: • Landing page conversions • User registration pages • E-commerce checkout processes
Offline: POS, Call Center, Catalog, Brochure, Signage, Layout
Where to test?
59# BDVD # FutureM
Effect or response to changes in Physical Appearance Elements • Copy • Layout • Images • Colors (backgrounds, etc.)
Effect or response to changes in Content Elements • Price points • Purchase incentives • Premiums • Trial periods

• What are revenue drivers – quarterly, annually, channelwise? o Can new big data sources yield competitive advantage?
• What are the “subjective” success criteria? Sales? CRV? Lift?
Decide what matters, and set objectives from that. 66# BDVD # FutureM

What stands in the way?
Get clarity and agreement on how to measure goal attainment. Example: “Better customer service” is a bit too nebulous
• Metrics with inaccurate or incomplete data • Metrics that are complex or difficult to explain • Metrics that complicate operations or create excessive
overhead • Metrics that cause people to act at cross purposes with the
firm.An outsider should be able to audit if objectives were met.

How can I get data and measurements on demand?
SaaS apps can help you connect dataflow to analysis. Just beware the locked spreadsheet.
• Salesforce.com: good for sales and dealflow • HubSpot: good for web marketing • Quickbooks, Excel: linked via xml app to data flow for
instant financial / accounting updates and reports
Departmental dashboards can enable weekly, daily, hourly or realtime trendspotting and fast course corrections.
# BDVD # FutureM
How can I empower everyone with on-demand insights?
Create a Culture of measurement.
• Maintain transparency to avoid surprises • Celebrate wins as they occur • Keep people properly motivated and on the same page

Where to I start?
Start at the top.
• Set a strong example for people to follow• Publicize goals and keep your own progress visible • Demonstrate commitment to attaining shared goals • Pick the 5 most important goals and get the salient data
Even if your targets were “off” at the outset, demonstrate success toward something, even if it’s just better intelligence. Pilot projects are learning labs.

71# BDVD # FutureM
What should I do differently today?
Continually question, re-evaluate and refine.
• External factors can affect progress toward goals at any time.

Determination is good, just keep it aimed productively.
