In his presentation at Emarsys Revolution 2018, Rob Feldmann, CEO at BrandAlley, discussed the brand’s customer-centric journey – from web navigation and content display throughout, to customer care and product quality, all touchpoints reflect the brand values. For BrandAlley, the customer journey starts prior to the website experience via word of mouth, search, an ad, or even direct marketing. BrandAlley works with Emarsys to automate much of its marketing with AI and intelligent systems. They use machine learning algorithms to analyze all their data and to gain actionable insights to execute personalization at scale.
This data is then used for propensity modeling (a.k.a predictive behavior) to identify groups of customers based on categories they’re most likely to be interested in.
As Rob describes, it all comes back to customer centrism. BrandAlley is in the business of making people happy and it offers customers a holistic brand experience that they will return to. By focusing on every customer touchpoint, BrandAlley “markets with the customer at heart.” Want to learn more?
“Online retail is growing incredibly fast… if you don’t take the customer and bring them to the heart of your organization, you will be left behind and will not survive… one of my favorite sayings is ‘retail is detail’ – and you must never, ever assume anything. As soon as you assume something is going to happen, it doesn’t! Make sure you triple check everything, [especially] before it goes on the site. Also, always listen to what the customer wants.”
