CRM Trends
1. Content• Marketers are creating shareable content and microsites to highlight
products and promotions but also deliver targeted messages around relevant topics –e.g. information at the prospects stage and offers and engagement at later stages.
• Some brands are finding that content can be four times more effective than a traditional marketing campaign – often in niches that have little direct relation to the products they sell.– Nike– Louis Vuitton - art– Burberry - music

5. Omnibrand as well as Omnichannel
• It takes an indivisible organization to implement a truly optimal customer-centric strategy – one consistent brand “voice”.
• It’s about finding that group of people that love your brand and figuring out how to truly engage them at all touch points.
• It’s about finding new sets of customers and finding a strong value proposition that will engage and retain them.
• It’s about thinking, early enough, about the organizational structure, the competency of teams and the incentive systems of teams.
