8. Cross Selling and Up Selling
 Cross-selling- the act of selling a product or
service to a customer as a result of another
purchase.
 Example- New mothers buy clothes for their
babies and then themselves as well.
 Up-selling- motivating current customers to trade
up to more profitable products.
 Example- McDonalds super size option.

9. Cross Selling and Up Selling Ctd.
These two forms of selling are an art and knowing
which products will increase the customer’s
buying is the key.
Here are some things to think about:
 Selling customers something they wouldn’t want
or need could cause them to buy less.
 Not every customer is a good candidate for these
types of selling.
 Understanding the ways how and whether the
customer responds to promotions

10. Customer Retention
 Understanding why customers leave for
competitors is key to find ways to retain them in
the future.
 Churn- the customers leaving one business for
its competitors.
 When a customer leaves there is:
 Loss of revenue
 Loss of investment in acquiring them

11. Customer Retention Ctd.
 Loss of stable market for new products
 Businesses have studied the characteristics of
those who have left their business to understand
why, to predict who might leave next, and to find
out who is desirable to keep.
 They also are tying to find what method might
work best to keep these customers, such as
promotions or free stuff

12. Behavior Prediction
This uses past consumer behavior to foresee the
future behavior of their customers.
This analysis includes several variations.
1. Propensity-to-buy analysis- understanding what
a particular customer might buy.
2. Next Sequential Purchase- predicting the
customers next buy.
3. Product Affinity Analysis- Understanding which
products will be bought with others. Also known
as market basket analysis.
4. Price elasticity modeling and dynamic pricing-
determine the best price for a given product.

13. Behavior Predictions Ctd.
The marketing decisions that come for this
analysis:
1. Preemptively offering discounts or fee waivers
to existing customers who are at risk of
churning.
2. Refining target marketing campaigns so
smaller customer segments or specific
products.
3. Packaging certain products together and fixed-
pricing them to sell more products and increase
their profitability.
4. Cross-selling products likely to be purchased
with other products.

14. Customer Profitability and
Value Modeling
 Customer Profitability- deals with the company’s
view of the possible profit to be made from its
customers.
 Value Modeling –deals with the value of the
customer’s other features like ability to bring in
more profitable customers or the potential to be a
more profitable customer.
 Value modeling is only as accurate as the
customer’s data is rich.

15. Channel Optimization
 Offering the right message to the right customer
at the right time.
 Example: Customers who us Internet banking
services might prefer a new emailed offer with
their regular statement and a customer visiting a
branch office might prefer a cup of coffee along
with a brochure.
 Once you understand the channels your
customers prefer to interact with your company
you must then decide what is the best way to
communicate with them.

16. Personalization
 This is the capability to customize customer
communication based on knowledge preferences
and behaviors at the time interaction.
 Examples: a site you bought CD’s from greet you
and offers you CD’s that are of your favorite
artists when you enter the site or the home
shopping channel operator greets you on when
you call and helps you quickly purchase what you
need and all because you shopped there once
before.

17. Personalization Ctd
 The first example used variable insertion to
personalize the site for the current customer because
it had information recorded from the last transaction.
Over time, the customer is more and more known to
the company through study of the customer’s profile:
data, past purchases, click stream data, and web
survey responses. Then the company knows what to
offer the customer to entice them to buy more or keep
them from churning.
 Example: if a person responds to a discount on skis
then they might also buy cold weather apparel.
 Using personalization can take out he guess work in
your business.
 Personalization in the B2C space is based on
studying click stream data (one’s navigation path
through a company’s Website.

18. Clickstream
Clickstream monitoring includes how customer:
 Reached site
 Traveled through site
 Spent his time and how much did he spend
 What was bought that stimulate buys of other
products
Analysis of clickstream can trigger new tactics in
companies. Examples:
 Changes in Web impressions according to
customer’s clickstream
 Custom promotions or discounts based on past
purchases of research.
 Customized web pages according to the visitor’s use
of site.

19. Event Based Marketing
 This is a time sensitive marketing or sales
communication reacting to a customer-specific event.
 Example: sending an application for collision
insurance to people who recently had a car accident.
 Businesses today are to focus in on the individual
customer in a real time situation and get away from
the blank event-based marketing.
 An example of this ideal goal of reacting to
customer’s event in near real time is: when a
customer receives coupons at the store, right after
their purchase, that they might be interested in.

20. Event Based Marketing Ctd.
 This kind of marketing requires solid process
automation and a well calibrated workflow to
be effective in influencing the customer’s
buying behavior.
 The ultimate goal of a company, despite the
type of customer communication, is to get
them to visit the store or website to buy
products they are happy with.

21. Customer Privacy-
One-to-One’s Saboteur?
 Why is customer privacy a concern?
11.1.Excessive amounts of available customer
data- U.S. citizens can be uniquely identified by
their date of birth, gender, 5-digit zip code
2. Personalization tools enable users to understand
a consumer’s behavior history and share that
info. without consumer consent
3. Identity theft
4. Consumer harassment

22.  Opt In Policy- policy that requires
companies to receive customer
permission to solicit personal data.
 -This policy will require many
businesses to rethink they’re marketing
strategies and will result in millions
spent on process and technology
changes

23. In Order to obtain good CRM:
 Know which marketing message and channel
to use
 Know customers preferred interaction level
 Individual customers have different wants and
needs, in order to reach these customers
different marketing channels and interaction
levels will be needed

24. Customer Privacy Preferences
 Keeping record of Customer Privacy
Preferences will help establish and
maintain good customer relationships
 Unspoken needs can be observed
through past interactions

25. Successful marketing is a result of:
 A sound marketing process
 Industry specific marketing practices
 Use of a variety of campaigns and
analysis of the results
