Remember when we could control what information customer got?

… this gave rise to the marketing funnel

Awareness

Familiarity

Consideration

Purchase

Loyalty


But now customer can roam freely on the internet...

… driving her own Customer Decision Journey talking to many other people


… or the more complicated version…


… but really the point is that it’s no longer a funnel


Implication for your business:

You have to be…

… here… andhere

…and also here

… and here

… and again

… here too

… andhere


Share of socially generated e-commerce revenue:

Global excluding China


Fortunately, you do not really have to be everywhere:

Consider mobile phone service


You just need to understand what your customers’ journey is:

% of users in market who bought a product after they saw it on Facebook

Automotive

Food

Financial services

Travel

Alcoholic beverages

Personal care

Healthcare

Nonalcoholic beverages

0 5 10 15 20 25

Percentage of social network users


How do we meet the customer along the customer decision journey…

… and have others talk about us?

Experience stage:

GE Industrial Internet

General Electric invested $250,000,000/year over 4 years into industrial Internet

– Turbines now have 100 physical sensors and 300 virtual sensors to help customers identify problems before they occur and improve fuel efficiency

– A turbine generates over 500GB of data per day which General Electric uses to build its next generation turbines

– 1% efficiency increase = $20,000,000,000 per year in savings for customers…

Even if GE only captures 10% of these savings, ROI is very high!


Loyalty Stage:

Merging CRM data with social data

Facebook has emails andphone numbers

of its users

Your CRMhas emails and phone numbers

of your customers

Custom audiencecan be exposed

to advertisingon Facebook

or Twitter or LinkedIn

Use your own loyalty program to see if those

who were exposed reacted(great for offline purchase)

No wasted advertisingmeans higher ROI


To sum up

Online > TV

– Customer is now free to roam

Online = Social + Search + Content + Email

– Meet the customer where she roams and put sign posts

– Have others meet her there too and have them put sign posts

Many touch points are required to cover the journey

– Not just Facebook page and Google Ads

Change the product to fit this new environment

– Bake the journey directly into the product to generate insight and loyalty
