The document discusses LEAP, a social recommendation and discovery platform that uses word-of-mouth marketing and social signals to directly drive engagement and sales. It aims to anticipate individual consumer needs at scale using mass customization. LEAP analyzes social content, purchase history, loyalty programs and other user data to cluster similar customers and match them with relevant products, driving engagement through recommendations on websites, apps, and other channels. The goal is to improve customer lifetime value by delivering more personalized experiences across omni-channels.
2. Why LEAP Makes Sense in Today’s World
Social Recommendation & Discovery Platform that Leverages the Power of Word-of-Mouth
Marketing to Directly Drive Engagement and Sales
Mass Customization
To be successful and competitive, companies will increasingly need to
anticipate and cater to the needs of individual consumers and accomplish
this at scale
Word-of-Mouth
Consumers trust recommendations from people they know and reviews from
other customers more than any other form of advertising
Focus on Retention
The online battleground is shifting from customer acquisition to lifetime value
Social & Mobile
Signals
Social signals and mobile location provide a valuable new window into
consumers purchase intent and interest
Targeting &
Recommendation
LEAP uses those new signals combined with data sharing to improve
customer engagement and lifetime value by delivering more relevant offers
and targeted earned media
Create a Profit Center
Social programs are already a cost center for brand awareness. Why not
leverage the work already being done to turn it into a profit center by directly
driving onsite engagement and sales?

Notion that three distinct trendsSocialMobile – sig data on disparate new platforms, keeping a customer always onBig Data problem to help craft better recommendations Taking social signals and marrying with purchase, web data, and creating a better recommendation set. Because we’re getting external dataNot just about Christian commented on something, but that you’ve encouraged comments and then leveraged that on site to drive salesSo much effort is spent on generating social content, or Earned MediaSocial marketing teams build out Facebook fan pages and try to generate buzz on Twitter. But the focus has been on Awareness -- getting people to like or share your contentSocial traffic as a source of acquisition not the highest quality: there's not much of it, and there's little ROI.Just as word-of-mouth is the best form of advertising in the offline world, we think it makes complete sense on your retail site as well.At LEAP, we use social signals to power our recommendations, but we also use social content to provide a humanizing element and assurance that the customer is selecting the right product. That is, earned media is finally brought lower down the purchase funnel: from awareness and consideration, to a personalized experience that directly affects engagement and conversion.And we deliver across all platforms – be it website, tablet, or mobileThereby driving increased customer LTV
