How To Become The Modern Marketer Of The New Millennium
By Klaus Paulsen, Co-Founding Partner, CNA|SOPHIS
We all know the marketing landscape has evolved and changed drastically, not at least for retailers. Customers can and will access information about products, services, pricing and brand reputation anywhere and any time. As such, they are now more sophisticated and educated than ever, and if you think simply adding “data” instead of “television” to a traditional mass communication strategy of yesteryear will do, you are missing one important fact.
Marketing success today is driven by customers, empowered by technology. To keep up, your understanding and ability to take action based on factual insight is pivotal to your business.
This is what Forrester Consulting has called Marketing Maturity, and it indicates how well your marketing practices are keeping up with the pace of change. For the first time, many marketers are not pushing prospects and customers ahead of them, but rather trying to keep up. How well you perform will place you in the category of Novice, Developing, Experienced or – the top of the class – Modern Marketer.
If you think only a few marketers are in that final group, you are right on the money – or rather, the lack of it on the bottom line. In a recent survey by Forrester with responses from about 500 marketing decision makers from around Europe and the United States, the status of Marketing Maturity was: 15% are Novices, 41% are Developing, 33% percent are Experienced. Only a mere 11% can be categorized as Modern Marketers.
So, why should you care? Well, as one of the Modern Marketers said, technology has given them that little bit of difference in understanding who they are, what their business is, who their customers are, and how to approach them. That reflects in their numbers:
94% have attained a significant market share
49% enjoy the marketing leading position
71% have received national recognition as a “best place to work”
35% have increased sales
55% have higher revenues
32% have increased executive support of marketing as a strategic part of the business
How To Become A Modern Marketer
To upgrade to modern marketing practices, first you should ask yourself these questions about your current marketing practices:
How well do you target your audiences?
How well do you engage with buyers?
How well do you convert buyers across their lifetime and customer journeys?
How well do you analyze marketing’s performance against goals?
How well do you use technology to support all the associated marketing processes?
To go from “bad” to “good” and even “great” in your answers to the above, you will need to take some important steps towards Marketing Maturity:
Invest in a comprehensive data strategy. Data is your new currency.
Start tracking your activity with specific metrics. Soft measures such as brand awareness, disconnected stats, website traffic and Facebook likes are all part of the reason why marketing’s financial impact remains largely unclear to the rest of your business. When that happens, marketing is often considered an expense, not an investment in business development.
Combine content strategy with automation. Content is king, and context is the kingdom. You need to deliver the right content at the right time and place it across channels to convert suspects to prospects to customers and to advocates. Automation can help you do that.
Own the customer’s digital experience from pre-sale to post-sale to re-sale across all relevant platforms. Start thinking about what the relevant touch points are not only during, but also before and after the sale, and act accordingly. Please note that there is no universal rule of what works best when. You will need to learn what works best from you from monitoring and engaging with your own customers.
Finally, use technology and processes to simplify your marketing efforts, not overcomplicate them. Iterative development and automation are just two ways of doing so.
How To Excel As A Modern Marketer
Even within the companies that did best in the survey, there is still room for improvement. This can be translated into your window of opportunity, if you understand the following key components of a more advanced, Mature Marketing strategy.
Your customer relationship does not end with the sale. Your post-purchase engagement such as successful adoption and use helps convert buyers into repeat customers and advocates. Your customer dialogue has to be more than an one-way dialogue. Even with digital media, many still apply what are basically traditional mass communication strategies. For example: social media engagement is an ongoing effort, not a campaign burst. As one Modern Marketer noted, they now have a team that has grown to about four times the size of what it was two years ago. This helps them to engage in dialogue with their members.
Your cross-channel influence has to be measured beyond its isolated channels. One of the powerful benefits of cross-channel marketing is the influence each channel can have on the others. However, most marketers only measure the channels individually, or at best by tracking some sort of “halo effect” of echoed across channel. You will need to set up a system where you can truly track the integrated effect of cross-channel marketing.
Your systems need to be integrated to service you as fully automated marketing platform. In the age of Big Data, many of these data are stuck in the channel silos. Luckily, technological advancements, not at least in cloud services, brings promise for the future.
Your team needs to have analytical skills. You need to have analytical skills. One-third of respondents to the survey put brand and marketing management in the top spot, while only 12% did the same for data analytics. Understanding data analytics will help you decide and get support for the best possible course of action, based on more than merely intuition. Being able to report your findings will let your business understand the tangible benefits provided by your marketing efforts.
Summing up, you will be able to Reinvent Retail if you take a long, hard critical look at how far you are from becoming a Modern Marketer, and then take the appropriate steps to move forward. Just be ready to do it again and again if you want to not only reach but sustain your position at the top of the class of Marketing Maturity in the new millennium.
