This report, based on a survey of more than 2,000 digital marketers and ecommerce professionals in Asia Pacific, Europe and the US, explores the extent to which organisations are stepping up to the customer-centric approach.

In the midst of an overwhelming amount of disruption taking place in the retail banking industry, a clear path to success has emerged. Banks that want to continue to gain and retain loyal customers must make it easier to bank with them. According to a survey that included 760 different banks and credit unions, the most important priority for 2017 and beyond is the removal of friction from the customer journey.1 To clarify, today’s customer journey includes both the customer experience at local branch locations as well as their experience while interacting with websites, mobile apps, smart watches, and anything else that is connected to the Internet. The battleground for customers has shifted to the digital world, and retail banks must adapt quickly as crafty Fintech startups and tech giants like Amazon, Apple, and Google continue to push the limits of what is possible with technology. If digital channels aren’t approached correctly, they can add complexity to the customer experience in

In the application economy, speed, innovation and quality have become table stakes. If you can’t meet your customers’ expectations, they will surely find a competitor who can. Whether your organization is in one of the sectors facing the most intense digital competition—insurance, banking, telecommunications or retail—or in a more traditional industry, how rapidly and successfully you embrace a software-driven digital transformation strategy will likely have a profound effect on your organization’s long term viability. Within this transformation sphere, the development of “omnichannel” or “digitally-connected multi-channel” capabilities is a key priority. CA Technologies can help you deliver a consistent, integrated and quality customer experience, regardless of how your customers choose to interact with you.

In today’s competitive retail environment, it’s not enough to simply meet customer expectations. Brands must exceed them with exceptional customer experiences that make customers feel heard, valued, and devoted to the brand. Brands across industries are embracing engagement-based loyalty programs because they deliver emotionally resonant experiences that go far beyond discounts. Omnichannel loyalty programs deliver rich, nuanced customer data about customers’ profiles, behaviors and needs, so that brands can deliver them more relevant experiences.

In order for brands to build meaningful relationships with customers, they need to adopt an omnichannel strategy. A successful omnichannel loyalty program will connect customers to a brand across all touchpoints seamlessly. It will go beyond one-dimensional discounts, instead offering deeply personal and authentic customer experiences that will yield stronger engagement and higher spend among customers. Learn how to: - Extend customer touchpoints - Leverage mobile insights - Reward for social engagement - Utilize data to drive personalization

Omnichannel is not just another buzzword to ignore. It’s a marketing objective, and if you don’t have a strategy in place, you’re already behind the curve; not only is it important, it also takes time. There is no omnichannel switch to throw, no simple button to push. A sound omnichannel approach must be built step by-step, and for many companies it all starts with email. Omnichannel excellence can be achieved through an email-first (not an email-only) approach, and for many companies, there is no better place than the email channel to begin building unified customer profiles and constructing your omnichannel empire.

Online, mobile, omnichannel, untethered, data mining, automation, and remote communication are all now buzzwords surrounding the new technologies and resources financial institutions have to help them re-invent their branch experience. Capabilities are available today that were not imagined a decade ago. This is an exciting time for those institutions that can look to the future and enhance their offerings. While technology is driving change, it can also be a tremendous challenge for financial institutions as they work to keep pace and even take advantage of the dramatic shift in customer needs and expectations. Millennials, baby boomers, small businesses – all are important market segments with very different wants and needs. Driven by technology, the new demand is for a complete online presence, complemented by more flexibility in personalized services, and specialized expertise available in every branch. Suffice it to say, financial institutions of all sizes and in every geography a

Consumers worldwide continue to adopt and use technology in their shopping experience. Faced with rising customer expectations and increasing competitive pressures, retailers now are prioritizing in-store innovation. Many retailers have adopted multichannel implementations, in which mobile, web, and in-store shopping are enabled but not delivered consistently to the customer. The next step in this evolution is an omnichannel strategy, now being deployed by some retailers, which presents a consistent shopping experience across mobile, web, and in-store channels. Omnichannel also enables retailers to integrate back-end infrastructure technologies (e.g., servers, databases, etc.) and cloud-based services (e.g., loyalty programs, personalized recommendations, inventory management, etc.) to improve many aspects of store and enterprise operations. An omnichannel strategy relies on several core and supporting technologies. The key factors in evaluating any omnichannel-enabling solution includ

An omnichannel customer experience is more important than ever before. However, this new customer-centric approach requires accurate data in order to be successful. Find out how organizations approach data quality in the changing retail environment.
