"I want my customers to get the most relevant communications based on where they are in their journey"
"I don’t want my customers to receive untimely, irrelevant communications."
The priority for marketers
The customer journey is the most important factor for almost 80% of marketers according to our annual Data Trends report. It shows that customer-centricity remains key to marketing success. But in order to deliver relevant, timely marketing campaigns, marketers needs to have the tools to identify where each customer sits in their journey – and the ability to activate and engage quickly.
It's more expensive to acquire new customers than retain existing ones, so churn prevention is key. Analysis of multiple variables can predict churn probability, allowing you to take appropriate measures to win back the customer.
Customers interact with brands in many ways through many channels. By timestamping each interaction you can identify the customer journey for each customer and focus on the touchpoints that are most valuable.
Recognising behaviours that indicate a purchase is imminent can help you convince customers to complete that purchase. The right message at the right time can make the difference, with subsequent messages thanking them for their continued loyalty.

Segment migrations
Customers often drift from one segment to another, with a huge number of possible catalysts for this migration.
Segment migrations give important clues to the optimisation potential in your communications, offering indications for the most relevant marketing campaign – such as win back, churn prevention or incentives.
Monitoring migrations
It's also crucial to look at migration trends across large numbers of customers. Does this indicate changes in market conditions, increased competition, or seasonal buying behaviour? Monitoring migrations allows you to analyse large scale changes, see how long customers spend in different segments, and ensure that you understand the customer journey at all times.
