52. A FINAL THOUGHT Your focus should be generating the customer insight and maximising the single customer view’s value NOT managing the data maintenance and systems functionality
76. Permission, Privacy and Personalisation is the key Customers and Prospects expect and respond to Personalisation Personalisation has to be relevant Privacy is critical and trust is required Personalisation is only possible with Permission Source: Banta Corp Name (89.8%) E-mail address (78.1%) Street address (60.7%) Past transactions (46.8%) Net worth (8.2%) Employer (10.9%) Job title (12.1%) Income (12.5%) Weight (14.4%) What will be shared?

Introduce myself – Sarah Keyes – Currently work for Vertu Vertu created the luxury mobile phone category just over 10 yrs ago – pioneers design excellence, Joined 18 months to a new role at Vertu managing CRM – one of the key challenges was to set the CRM strategy and build a customer database Previously, I worked at BA for 11 years working in loyalty as Global Customer Loyalty Manager. Share with you some of my experience from working in a blue chip company with a mature customer database and legacy systems vs a small luxury company with no CRM system
About Vertu Use of materials including ceramic, leather, sapphire, and aerospace grade aluminum. Luxury lifestyle assistance & services – concierge button & city brief Direct rel with customers – no mobile phone operator
Cultural Change – shift the organisation to become customer centric, view the customer as an entity – not a product or a service, how is the customer’s journey with your organisation captured and monitored e.g. BA lifecycle 2. Internal PR Data is not very sexy, you need to make sure that everyone understands why this is important - bring it life, get people engaged right from the front line staff to your IT developers, paint the vision – here’s how things could be Must do this right from the start, talk about the opportunities 3. Stakeholder buy in Clearly identify who they are – FD, IT dept, customer services teams and customer touchpoints Who needs this data, who do you rely on to help you deliver SCV. Involve them right from the start – requirements stage, get their requirements in, through to decision making process and solutions 4. What’s in what’s out Your SCV marketing database can suddenly become the answer to everyones solutions – e.g. customer service – of course it can be but manage this separately under a separate project and budget 5. Are you data privacy compliant , how are you currently handling data – nasty surprises - do a data audit to uncover what’s out there, will your new solution fix these issues 6. Be realistic what is achievable both from your suppliers and your internal depts
Creating a SCV is like building a jigsaw – taking all of the customer interactions around the business and consolidating the information Creates an understanding of who your customer is – Vertu’s case product portfolio, service usage, product failure. Allows a relevant dialogue if you know what they have bought, what they are using your company for Marketing spend – target where best to spend your budget, create customer segments using your SCV, creating objectives and targets for each. Pyramid. Partnership opportunities – database become a very lucrative asset to build mutually beneficial partnerships – BA & AMEX, Vertu and lifestyle services & luxury partnerships Identify your best customers – F2F events, reward and recognise them – customer scoring at BA
Buy-in is critical After you have set the vision and articulated the opportunity, share this with your key stakeholders. Gain their agreement right through to the end users and your IT dept. You will need their co-operation to build the data feeds Manage & understand resistance You will come across resistance, need to build in-house – fear of lack of control, ownership of data – stakeholder buyin critial Involve key stakeholders Right from setting the requirements, pitch presentations and evaluation Hard work but will pay off Data integrity Take a sample of your data to understand how clean your data is. Find the data source and put strict, measurable SLAs into place, monitor – stop the rot. You need to decide if you want to pay to cleanse the data or allow our customer touch point teams to cleanse over time. Identify integration points & data synchronisation What has to be done internally Understand the SCV users requirements – avoid rejection of users What are their requirements, what will make them use the SCV, demonstrate the benefits. Involve in a trial so you can evolve the solution Identify the key decision makers
Speed It will be your own company that will slow down the SCV devt, resource not available, not a priority – get it on IT/tech dept plans asap, get high level commitment on milestones Expertise This is the suppliers bread and butter, they know how to do this, they are the expertise and will bring leading edge thinking – they have the finger on the pulse so you don’t have to. Your own IT dept will be generalists unless you work for blue chip company with dedicated database resource. Flexibility Supplier will have worked with countless other companies – seen it all before and are likely to be flexible in finding a solution. You are the customer Unlike dealing with internal depts – you call the shots, you pay them, you set the timings and deliverables (within reason) – measurable SLAs it is not in their interest to miss deadlines, their livelihood depends on it, your IT’s dept doesn’t/ Systems integration It’s likely that the supplier has a system that readily integrates with other systems unlike legacy systems – e.g. campaign mgmt, micro sites etc Analytics The supplier will know your data, analytics readily available, agreed SLAs, you are not at the bottom of a long reporting list – BA. Quick turnaround of reporting Problem resolution Will have an SLA to fix things for you, won’t have to wait for your own IT dept to prioritise your problem resolution Cost Manage the cost carefully – visibility of what is in your package and what isn’t
In-sourcing Depends on the size and expertise of your business BA – legacy systems, mature database integrate across many depts – tkting, check-in etc. Manage in house was appropriate – specific needs Strong IT dept with the necessary expertise Smaller business with reasonably off the shelf requirement outsourcing is appropriate You need to consider the following – Is your project prioritised within the business, has resource been allocated and set aside. Do you have the required resource in house, not outsourcing under a different guise e.g. contractors Legacy systems – ease of integration Infrastructure and governance
What’s important – agree your requirements upfront with stakeholders Clear objectives and criteria for measurement Avoid subjectivity Stakeholders Involve in supplier selection Chemistry Competency - Marketing agency vs data specialist – give example
Life on the other side – the grass is greener Understand your customers Having a holistic view of your customers can help you understand what message to give and when. Relevant dialogue by delivering triggered campaigns BA Tier Point runs – 3 months, count down to losing status – see customers booking flights just to retain their status. What data is missing, how many do you have? Allows you to manage the customer lifecycle you’ll know if they are a brand new customer – allows you to serve up activation messages – mileage collection to first reward flight, retention programmes and manage customer decline. Predict customer behaviour – intensive care programme at BA Cross sell and up-sell Timeliness of communication – upgrade communications 3 days before a flight, Vertu – accessories pushing the customer to the online store Measurable results - visibility Customer KPIs – Vertu now tracking the growth of “active customers” Customer insight generation Identify your best customers

Every time you invite someone to interact with you over the web, you encourage them to a medium where it is EASY for them to compare YOU with your competition. Whereas all advertising has an effect on overall market growth, web based marketing can disproportionately benefit your competitors. Thursday, 01 September 2005 Copyright 2005 Marketing Improvement Page
Smartphones make it even easier for consumers to make comparisons and check prices AS they shop in the high street. The result is loyalty is degrading – fast! Thursday, 01 September 2005 Copyright 2005 Marketing Improvement Page
There’s a reason DirectLine’s ads focus on CALLING them with the web as an aside and they refuse to use price comparison websites. We have heard from a couple of insurance companies that they are reverting to traditional Direct marketing because the customers they get that way have far greater loyalty.

Trains generally have a poor reputation. But let’s look at ScotRail. In four years they have built up a permissioned database of rail travellers of nearly 1 million people. Their home page makes no less than three different offers to encourage registration. The ROI on some of their campaigns is nearly 300%. Open rates are regularly over 50%. And they were the Public Transport Operator of the Year in 2009 How? By sticking to the 4 “P’s - Thursday, 01 September 2005 Copyright 2005 Marketing Improvement Page
Take a look here at the level of detail they go into on the registration form – many people will tell you that this is way too much. But it shows that ScotRail are interested in their customers and, crucially, look at the bottom box in the far right column, it’s PRE-TICKED, automatically opting people out of third-party communications unless they SPECIFICALLY want them!

Thursday, 01 September 2005 Copyright 2005 Marketing Improvement Page Dell claim to have sold $6M via their Twitter feed, but fewer than 100 people follow the feed. Even WallMart only has 8,000 followers for its offers feed, Coca-Cola has 10 who have tagged entries with Mycoke in the last ten days despite its featuring on the Coke website. The reality is that how you communicate with consumers has become immensely complex. You need them to tell you how they want you to talk to them – when, about what and through which channel. While Eurostar has created three Twitter feeds – Eurostarcomms with 232 followers, @little_break with 1400 followers and @creamoflondon with 700 followers. And Nectar have announced a tie-up to share data with Yahoo to merge on-line data with actual sales data. So far 20,000 people have signed up in return for extra points
The sheer rate of change in communication channels is beyond the capacity of many CRM systems to cope – for example Salesforce.com hope to support Twitter by Q3 this year – but by then it may be all over for Twitter. Big monolithic CRM can’t react fast enough.
Thursday, 01 September 2005 Copyright 2005 Marketing Improvement Page Today, many of your more valuable customers are “always-on” and it will become more intense Simply calling, texting or emailing at the wrong time or being unavailable at the right time will disrupt the dialogue. Permission Marketing is Consensual and Dynamic
FlexPoint is our value-based segmentation tool. It uses outbound marketing activity and the responses and non-responses to it to build a highly predictive index of precisely where to invest your direct marketing budget. Here is the raw data from a major insurance company, regardless of channel.
But when we look at a comparison of two communication channels we find a very interesting picture emerges.
