Awareness
Retargeting, email, search, display…
Consideration
• Landing pages
• Product category pages
• Content based algorithms
Purchase Intent
• Shopping cart
• Collaborative based
Loyalty
• Post checkout
• Email reminders
At Samsung we learned the that primary variable for
predicting purchase intent was contract renewal.
We could then target the right customer with the right
message at the right time.
Each step in the customer journey will have specific triggers that will drive customer behavior.

Appropriate measurement will help influence the optimal
strategy.For Pizza Hut we were able to regress engagement with respect to sales and prove that a product
messaging strategy was superior to coupons.

How to implement a
strategy: Target & tailor communication to customers:
identify need and problem
Virtuous Cycle: Learn, Test, Implement, an
iterative Agile Framework

CUSTOMER ACQUISITION COST by CHANNEL
Click-based attribution model reveals CAC for display is greater then $600 with a LTV of half that. We
are loosing money for every new customer.
Optimize display ads
and lower the cost
through testing and
ideation
The example comes from an online travel agent

FUTURE CALL CENTER LTV

Call Center Cost Per Transaction $50
Average Revenue / Transaction = $2,519 $491 $388 $290 $251 $221
Discount Rate 8%
NPV Of Transactions $3,872
Margin 10%
LTV Customer $387
% Increase 5%
CUSTOMER LIFETIME VALUE (LTV)
CAC for display is $387 which is far less then LTV. We can either increase retention or increase
conversion by targeting the right customers with the right content at the right time.
OVERALL INCREASE PROFITABILITY 10%
5% increase in retention
= 30% increase in LTV

Learn your audience.
You can not optimize the experience without knowing who you are targeting.

| Customer Acquisition and Retention Strategy
Segment and Survey
Gain a deep understanding of what
makes buyers buy…
What are the objections that qualified buyers have?
Match the pages purpose with what customers want.
Variable effecting conversion:
• Load time
• Design
• Content
• Concrete and emotional vs. intellectual and abstract
• Promotional messaging
• More detailed product pages
• Personalize
• Value proposition
Once you know who your customers are find out what is important to them.
How do customers define their needs?
© 2015 Copyright. All rights reserved by AT&T
| Customer Acquisition and Retention Strategy
Develop some ideas.
Once we have done the initial analysis we are able to create some ideas that can then be tested.
• Know the bottlenecks and
opportunities
• Know your customer
• Develop some ideas to test
around the needs of these
customers

This combination saw an increase of 40% in sign-ups
that resulted in $60M in incremental donations.
The Obama campaign used simple multi-variant testing on their donor pages which tested many different
images, CTAs, and headlines.

Goal is to create alignment internally
Marketing efforts are currently not consistent with landing page content.
Marketing needs to be optimized for landing page content through
an imperial methodology of testing and discovery.

  1. 70% (the red combined) of ideas brought to the consumer group have zero (or negative) impact to the business. While this is taken from consumer, the process we’re using is the same, it’s subjective, decisions are made without visibility. A data driven framework for analysis & development (that is objective in nature) will force the correct code to be written – yielding code that positively impacts business.
  2. Create a framework that standardizes a methodology for opportunities. Foundation for testing opportunities. Decide where to test. Seeing that if customers cannot find the product page, don’t test there. Remove adhawk decision making. Define the testing strategy, introducing analysis of where and how strategy should be implemented. Testing to for discovery, to understand customer behavior at a high altitude.
  3. Result of AB testing call to action above the fold. Tried and true framework used with success. Always test for a conversion rate, NOT total numbers. Always test for a %, test for engagement, time on site, any kind of metric that you can be normalized. Normalized goal metrics. You may not have enough customers to test for conversion rates, and your goal may not be conversion rate. Enterprise goal should be return engagement….Their conversion rate is for lead generation. Goes back to business objectives. If Business objectives are to support sales channels, then metrics that ladder up to engagement is what’s being tested. 20% increase .5 to 1 = 100% increase in conversion rate 10% to 30% = is a 20% increase in conversion rate.
  4. It’s a tactic that supports the strategic roadmap. With problem statement, we need to understand the framework for how and why it is deployed. We need to first understand business objective, then tactics to implement strategy. Testing is an integral part to deploying a strategy. ***KD note: I changed employed to deployed. Is this right?
  5. Top 5 "Actionable“ Items to Drive CSAT Usability: Ease of Use, Learnability, and Delightful NPS (Net Promoter Score) Minimal Touch Simplicity Empowerment
  6. Take the framework previously define and apply to any channel.
  7. KD note: Below the graph I think Stickyness should be with an “i” to be Stickiness….
  8. Test your messaging strategy against cohorts and segments 2 years of data round messaging strategy and compared sales to engagement – comparing promotional pricing versus value messaging. Helped drive strategy with regression analysis. Take a more sustainable approach with product value messaging. Shows the value of the product over promotional pricing. Key is the measurement. Appropriate measurement will help influence the proper strategy. For Pizza Hut we were able to regress engagement with respect to sales and prove that a product messaging strategy was superior to coupons (types of tests: AB testing, segmentation analysis, surveys, user profiling, user demographic profiling, regression testing) AB testing is only 1 part of a comprehensive test based design methodology
  9. Virtuous loop versus a loop that degrades overtime, virtuous cycle Graph has components of actual tactics. Learn Test Implement are the tactics: This is how you develop, refine, and test strategy Short cycles allow for implementation of learning. Use to make process more efficient, ultimately you build a better product, the success or failure of the product is determined by previous release.
  10. Virtuous cycle helps create a balanced business model, through over time, reducing CAC to less than $1. SO the the LTV just above a dollar. Example of adjusting UX of game, ensure people spent enough time on the site, to get the site viral. Increasing return engagement, consequently people spend money and invite friends. Getting 2nd, 3rd, 7th, and 14th day engagement numbers up
