What is database-driven marketing? Database marketing involves collecting and utilizing customer data for the purposes of enhancing interactions with customers and developing customer loyalty (Clow & Baack, 2018). When businesses collect information, such as purchase preferences, sizes, or frequently bought they can use this to market certain products or even give discounts for preferred products to create stronger customer retention. By creating a loyal customer base, the company can leverage alternative forms of marketing such as buzz marketing. Existing customers with brand loyalty become advocates in spreading the word on your behalf as a business. How do marketers use it for their marketing programs? Consider data warehouse, geocoding, and customer relationship management. Marketers can leverage the information they have gathered to incentivize customers with offers that are catered towards their wants and needs. To run a successful database-driven strategy the company would need to ensure they have an adequate way of housing the customer’s data. This is known as data warehouse. The IT department and marketing team distinguish between an operation database and the marketing database (Clow & Baack, 2018). This is important for how the business will interact with the customer and which information is needed. What are the benefits of utilizing database-driven marketing to the marketer and the customer? Use the brand you selected as an example. In order to truly elevate the database ensuring a digital approach is important. Having email, mobile, and internet data allows for instant access and is also a low-cost wat to communicate. By having a robust database companies can run a lifetime value analysis for their customers. This allows them to accurately forecast a customer’s value to their business at multiple points, one would be during acquisition and then again for retention. Database-driven marketing can help increase the value of a customer over time by the types and frequency of interaction a company can have. Conversely on the customers benefits side it can impact how you’re treated,
what deals you receive, and how flexible the company will be if an issue does arise. When you go on Doves website a screen pops up to insert your email address for a coupon. This allows the customer to have their first purchase discounted and be the first to receive communications about new products, sales, discounts, and even free gifts. By doing this it also pushes customers to create accounts with the company allowing them to keep track of the scents, product preferences, and previous purchases so they can market certain products to certain individuals.
