”Genuine omnichannel efforts yield tangible business benefits; 46% of businesses noted increased customer lifetime value, emphasizing the depth of forged relationships.
Overlooking customer lifecycle marketing in omnichannel strategies leads to fragmented experiences, missed revenue opportunities, inefficient resource use, and hinders true customer obsession, potentially eroding trust and competitive advantage.“

”If we do right by our fans, that’s where we are all going to win and ultimately the fans will win. We really want to take the data and understand what they need next.
We want to understand how we can connect individual fans based on where they are and how they want to interact with us. And that’s where Emarsys has continually come into play with us. I am very thrilled to just keep that relationship going because it’s been extremely fruitful so far.“
