Customer journey - touchpoints and behavioral economics
The customer journey has changed significantly in recent years. Where clear and linear purchasing processes used to dominate, there are now multiple touchpoints and channels that influence consumer behavior. Increasing digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in communication have further accelerated this development. Companies are faced with the challenge of understanding the new dynamics of the customer journey and taking the right measures to be successful in an increasingly complex environment.
This is exactly where Promotion-Tools comes in. With our strategies for live marketing, retail, shopper and trade marketing, we support brands in optimally addressing their consumers at every point of the journey. But what exactly is the modern customer journey and what role does behavioral economics play in it?
The power of touchpoints
Touchpoints, i.e. the points of contact between brand and customer, are more diverse today than ever before. In addition to the classic touchpoints in in-store retailing, digital channels are increasingly coming to the foreground. Well-thought-out touchpoint management is essential to ensure a smooth customer journey and to offer consumers a consistent brand experience across different channels.
Best practice example - Canon Overall Roadshow
One outstanding example of the successful integration of physical and digital touchpoints is our collaboration with Canon Switzerland. The aim of the brand and product staging is to bring Canon's high-performance products directly to life and thus increase consumer engagement.
The combination of live events with tailored digital content enables participants to not only test Canon products in real-life scenarios, but also to exchange ideas with experts and improve their photography skills in personalized workshops. At the same time, digital touchpoints, such as interactive product information and online registrations, ensure a seamless connection between the analog and digital worlds.
The result? A significant increase in brand awareness and strong customer loyalty. The collaboration with Canon demonstrates how a strategically thought-out interplay of live marketing and digital touchpoints can help to create lasting customer experiences and boost sales at the same time.
Behavioral economics as the key to success
Behavioral economics deals with the question of how and why people make decisions. These findings are of crucial importance for marketing, as they enable us to better understand and influence consumer behavior.
Take the design of promotions as an example - brands can use targeted incentives - be it discounts, exclusive offers or limited editions - to steer the purchasing behavior of their target groups. Especially in shopper marketing, it is important to set the right impulse at the right time. The combination of behavioral economics and shopper marketing ensures that brands not only reach their consumers, but also motivate them to buy.
AI in communication - the next step
Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in marketing, especially when it comes to personalized communication. With AI, we can precisely analyze consumer behavior and respond to their needs in real time. This offers enormous advantages, especially when it comes to setting individual purchase incentives and optimizing the customer experience.
This is exactly where our consulting services at Promotion-Tools come in - we help brands to integrate AI technologies into their communication strategies in a meaningful way. In doing so, we not only support them in the analysis and segmentation of their target groups, but also in the development and implementation of personalized, data-based campaigns.
