PERSONALIZATION – Marketers around the globe must be sick and tired of hearing this. It is not like they are against delivering tailored messages across channels to make their customers feel important. The bottleneck here is getting the right customer data.
So, how to get the right customer data?
Hint: Unified marketing stack
Why should you integrate your marketing stack smartly?
Consider this example, as a SaaS marketer you want to send emails to your trial users to convert them to a paid plan using Intercom.
Since you don’t want to send the same message to both your paid and trial users, you integrate your subscription billing software (Chargebee) with Intercom. The problem with straight forward integration between the tools is a mismatch of User IDs which results in duplicates of the same user being formed.
Resolving the user identities between the two platforms is a herculean task which takes a bunch of development time. Developer assistance is also required every time you want to try out new strategies like sending this data to ad platforms or product analytics tools.
However, a smart integration solution that can logically map & send customer data to existing marketing platforms without consuming time & developer assistance can help overcome this problem.
Common roadblocks
With the martech landscape growing every day, marketers are presented with new tools and technologies to provide the best experience to their customers. However, the more the tools the more difficult it is to get the right customer data.
The user interaction with a brand across multiple touchpoints such as website, email, ads & app is not easily available in one place and certainly not easy to get without any developer assistance.
This developer dependency and complexity of today’s platforms limit the marketer’s dream of achieving a complete view of their customers.
