Big Brother Watching?

It may seem a bit Orwellian, but the new era of web forensics can give you an incredible insight and understanding of your customers - and in the current market that knowledge may be just the edge you need to win business.

Web forensics is all about getting to grips with the ‘journey’ your customer makes through your website – how they are interacting and using the site to meet their requirements. It now goes way beyond the basics and instead allows you to tag individual visitors, tracking them through their activity and the sales process. This information is invaluable to sales people and marketeers, helping them understand individual motivations, target communication and increase conversion rates.

The key to success is to make sure your forensics solution gives the control and analysis your team needs to improve customer communication and sales – not just the basic analytics, but something much more powerful. You may feel like Big Brother watching visitors to your site, but the truth is that you will be able to deliver a better, more tailored service to each and every visitor.

The Email Conundrum

Email is quick and cost-effective to marketeers, but with many of us receiving hundreds – if not thousands - of emails every week, is it really able to get results?

While email technology now offers incredible control, targeting and creativity, some companies stick their heads in the sand and continue with their email ‘blastings’ to all and sundry. Then they complain that e-marketing is getting no results. No surprises there. In the current market you need to be more targeted, more creative and more co-ordinated - it’s about nurturing contacts rather than bombarding them.

Effective email marketing is focused on improving communication, allowing powerful segmentation and generating solid leads for your business. Communication can now be carefully targeted and highly relevant, with a tailored approach completely missed by the poor mass mailings still used by many. Get it right and you’ll give your sales team opportunities that they can really work with.

The leads are out there, and the business can be yours for the taking, but don’t let poor email marketing hold you back and turn potential clients off.
