Select a Marketing Management Suite

Your Challenge

• Time, money, and effort are wasted on channels and campaigns that are not resonating with your customer base.
• Email marketing, social marketing, and/or lead management alone are often not enough to meet more sophisticated marketing needs.
• Many organizations struggle with taking a systematic approach to selection that pairs functional requirements with specific marketing workflows, and as a result they choose a marketing management suite (MMS) that is not well aligned to their needs, wasting resources and causing end-user frustration.
• For IT managers or marketing professionals, the task to incorporate MMS technology into the organization requires not only receiving the buy-in for the MMS investment but also determining the vendor and solution that best fit the organization’s particular marketing management needs.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

• An MMS enables complex campaigns across many channels, product lines, customer segments, and marketing groups throughout the enterprise.
• Selecting an MMS has become increasingly difficult because the number of players in the marketplace has ballooned. Moreover, picking the wrong marketing solution has a direct impact on revenue.
• Determine whether the investment in an MMS is worthwhile or the funds are better allocated elsewhere. For organizations with a large audience or varied product offerings, an MMS enables complex campaigns across many channels, product lines, customer segments, and marketing groups throughout the enterprise.

Impact and Result

• Maximize your success and credibility with a proposal that emphasizes the areas relevant to your situation.
• Perform more effective customer targeting and campaign management. Having an MMS equips marketers with the tools they need to make informed decisions around campaign execution, resulting in better targeting, acquisition, and customer retention. This means more revenue.
• Maximize marketing impact with analytics-based decision making. Understanding users’/customers’ behaviors and preferences will allow you to run effective marketing initiatives.
