Business Intelligence and the One Big Button

Customer Experience Matrix

Literal-minded creature that I am, yesterday’s discussion of organizing analysis tools around questions led me to consider changing my sample LTV system to open with a list of questions that the system can answer. Selecting a question would take you to the tab with the related information. (Nothing unique here—many systems do this.) But I soon realized that things like “How much do revenue, marketing costs and product costs contribute to total value?

Sanjaya Malakar is Benefiting by a Complex System Anomoly

Smashmouth Marketing

I watch American Idol. I'm not ashamed. My daughter Melissa got me into it. But one thing my daughter listens to all week is how I complain about the voting format. The audience is presented with 10 contestants and can vote for their favorites. The dynamic that takes place is unfair. The standout singers get the votes, and the people that did really bad and need to be saved get the votes.

Marketing Sherpa left out a few key items: a.

Book Review: Made to Stick

WebMarketCentral

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive And Others Die by Chip and Dan Heath explores why some ideas "stick" in our consciousness while others are never understood in the first place and are quickly forgotten. The authors cite two examples early in the book, from opposite ends of the political spectrum, to illustrate stickiness: Ronald Reagan's "It's morning again in America" and James Carville's "It's the economy, stupid" (proving that sometimes stickiness is more a matter of luck than brains).

Skinny Meez

Smashmouth Marketing

Ok, so a week ago my sister Anne and Linda and I went to Boston's new ICA Museum to see Streb vs. Gravity (Great night out, btw). I mention this idea for an interactive art piece I want to do that would be perfect for the venue. It's flash based and includes animated characters. So today my sister then sent me this link to Meez. It was a bit addictive to sit there for 45 minutes and build my own personal Meez. 45 minutes of my day I won't get back, mind you.

A/B Testing E-Marketing Tips

Anything Goes Marketing

Does the word "test" still make you tense up and think of your high school math teacher with the bad comb over? When it comes to e-marketing, testing takes on a whole new meaning. If you read Anne Holland's weekly email newsletter, you will typically hear her preaching to e-marketers to TEST, TEST, TEST. at least a few hundred times. OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration but if you read her stuff, you know what I mean.

Users Want Answers, Not Tools

Customer Experience Matrix

I hope you appreciated that yesterday’s post about reports within the sample Lifetime Value system was organized around the questions that each report answered, and not around the report contents themselves. (You DID read yesterday’s post, didn’t you? Every last word?) This was the product of considerable thought about what it takes to make systems like that useful to actual human beings.

Are Multi-Variate Testing Systems Under-Priced?

Customer Experience Matrix

I’ve had a series of conversations over the past few days regarding the distinction I made last November between “behavioral targeting” systems and “multivariate testing” systems. Both types of products tailor Web contents to individual visitors. Both work similarly: place code snippets in slots on the Web page where the personalized content will appear; when the page is loaded, send visitor information to a hosted server; run server-side rules to select the content; then return the selection to

Worried About Email Deliverability and Being Blacklisted?

Anything Goes Marketing

Stefan Pollard over at EmailLabs continues to write great articles on email marketing.
