How unifying customer value delivery can overcome marketing silos

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, brands face an ever-growing challenge of effectively engaging their customers across multiple platforms and touchpoints. When customers have more options, evolving needs, and higher expectations, providing exceptional customer value is an emerging key differentiator helping distinguish brands from competitors. This is because customer value delivery is not just about selling a product; it's about creating an experience and building relationships that keep customers coming back.

Delivering customer value is important because it directly impacts a company's bottom line. Satisfied customers are more likely to make repeat purchases, recommend your brand to others, and become long-term advocates. However, the traditional fragmented approach to marketing is proving inadequate for achieving consistent customer value delivery, particularly in the area of customer engagement.


Whether you are a B2C brand marketer or B2B channel leader, building a sustainable 360-degree customer engagement strategy is a deep-seated challenge. The tools used to deliver value back to a customer operate, for the most part, in silos - promotions here, rebates there, and loyalty programs “way” over there. To keep pace and foster enduring customer relationships, brands need to adopt a more integrated and cohesive customer engagement strategy that transcends conventional silos.


The Challenges of Fragmented Marketing


Fragmented marketing strategies not only create inconsistencies in customer messaging but also hinder a brand’s ability to fully capitalize on customer behavior and data. When promotions, rebates, discounts, content or training programs, and loyalty programs are managed separately, opportunities for cross-pollination, personalization, and synergy are often missed, leading to disjointed customer experiences. These silos also create inefficiencies in marketing operations, with duplicated efforts, management of multiple vendors, and a huge lift to merge and analyze the various stacks of data.


Unifying Marketing Strategies Requires Technology and Skill


Executives can envision the value of consolidating these various elements into a unified platform that offers a 360-degree view of customer engagement. Combine those benefits with the ability to act on these integrated insights, and the resulting impact increases exponentially. However, connecting the various processes is no piece of cake.

That is why Fortune 1000 brands seek vendor partnerships that can manage multiple, if not all, of those disparate forms of customer value exchange. Consolidating the creation and delivery of promotions, rebates, loyalty, and incentives in one central environment allows the vendor to also consolidate the diverse customer data captured. This comprehensive approach helps brands create more personalized and meaningful interactions, which ultimately drives stronger customer loyalty and business growth.


Real-Life Applications


Consider a real-life scenario where a major CPG brand merged its loyalty program with rebates, sweepstakes, and targeted promotions. After a straightforward registration process of signing up for an email newsletter, customers instantly accessed numerous ways to engage with the brand, rapidly gain personal value, and connect meaningfully with the brand. At the same time, the brand obtained a clear picture of its best customers, highest-potential prospects, and, just as important, where not to spend ad budgets. The result? With enhanced visibility into cross-over participation in promotions and loyalty, the brand saw a huge increase in customer engagement and average spend was 7 times higher than the KPI goal - measured directly via receipt data.


In another real-life example, a B2B manufacturer that sells through a network of dealerships adopted new “B2C-style” engagement tactics such as instant win promotions, behavior-triggered email communications, and gamification. This unified engagement strategy resulted in a 25% increase in program participation and growth that nearly doubled their industry average.
