Successful Stays
A leading global hospitality brand, faced significant challenges with data fragmentation and inconsistent customer insights that heavily impacted their loyalty and rewards program.
By adopting a more rigid CMDM approach to customer profile management, they achieved a single customer view of customer data profiles, this lead to a 30% decrease in duplicative or redundant customer profiles, which in turn led to data management cost savings and an improvement in customer satisfaction since customer rewards were now correctly collated against single sources rather than spread across multiple customer profiles.
This meant too, that the cost of marketing campaigns decreased and led to higher marketing campaign yields. This kind of transformation is only possible when you unify records, search for duplicates and consolidate customer data profiles.
“In many organisations, the role of customer development is often to develop new business through customer acquisition, rather than to build relationships with existing customers. However, since the profit impact of customer retention has become accepted wisdom, a significant shift in emphasis is required in the customer development process if customer loyalty management is to become a priority.”
