Marketing Tools
Tools that Drive Enagement and Conversion
Marketing at the Local Level (MALL)
With our MALL application, local marketing groups or agencies can insert custom content into National promotions that is relevant for specific stores or regional markets.
Clienteling
This is an in-store application that allows store associates to utilize the customer database to get a 360 degree view of individual customers. This enables them to increase efficiency and further develop relationships by communicating directly with customers via email, post card, phone call or whatever channel the customer prefers.
Digital Coupons
Digital Coupons are barcode-trackable coupons that are sent to customers using the Marketing Workbench offer management tool; each coupon/offer can be tracked back to the customer. The digital coupons can enforce business/offer rules at the eCommerce/POS level.
Profile/ Subscription Center
Profile/Subscription Center is a central place that integrates and collects the multiple actions/touch points of the customer with the brand and it is connected via API meaning that most of the data is updated in near real time.
Lights-Out Marketing
Lights Out Marketing is fully-automated lifecycle marketing that drives a customer’s lifetime value up. Fully scalable and driven by trigger-based and rules-based logic, Lights Out Marketing programs execute targeted, measurable programs that send specific messages to specific customers at a specific time.

- Minimize the upfront investment
- Produce faster business impact

Portfolio Pathing
Game Changing Customer Opportunity Analysis
For each Portfolio Pathing project, we analyze customer data to determine behavior-based portfolio segments and their lifecycle path. From this analysis we identify immediate marketing opportunities for rapid revenue generation and current customer growth. The path of the portfolio is based on the customer lifecycle – from prospect to single-purchase customer, to multi-purchase customer, to loyal return customer, and ultimately, long-term best customer. Deliverables include:
Customer Profile Table – Single view and understanding of each customer’s relationship with your brand
Baseline Metric Reports – Business performance reports to monitor your key performance metrics over time
Behavior Based Portfolio Segments with Personas – A series of actionable behavior-based segments to drive targeted communications
Lifecycle Path Definition and Strategy – Detail of relevant lifecycle marketing to fuel building best customer behavior. The lifecycle path looks at the actionable opportunities identified within the intersections of the segments.
Immediate Tactical Opportunities – Defined tactical marketing programs to target specific customer need to increase conversion and revenue
We build behavior based portfolio segments by identifying the separating points of difference like:
- Average Order Size
- Lifetime Value
- Number of Purchases
- Time Between Purchases
- Engagement & Consistency
- Categories, Styles & Products
- Preferences & Demographics
