More Mobile Campaign Management Systems

Customer Experience Matrix

It turns out the world of mobile marketing systems is further developed than I thought. (Either that, or these people are really good at putting up impressive Web sites.) A bit more research turned up a number of vendors who appear to have reasonably sophisticated mobile marketing systems. Those that seem worth noting include: MOVO , Flytxt , Kodime , MessageBuzz , Velti , Wire2Air , and Knotice.

Smashmouth Marketing

Michael C. Hall, David of Six Feet Under, stars in Dexter on Showtime. I'm late to the game, but my buddy Carl recommended I check it out. I found the first two episodes on Showtime's website and I'm hooked! The cleverness of the concept is wonderful. Hall plays Dexter, a blood spatter forensics expert for the Miami police, who has his own form of learning.he is a serial killer.

How do you allow prospects to get closer to your product?

Anything Goes Marketing

Have you ever been miffed when trying to test out a product from a website? It amazes me at times when I go to websites and when I want to demo or test drive a product I'm either given a message such as "Fill out a form and someone will contact you", sent to a fact-sheet with boring statistics or a powerpoint presentation opens that shows me nice pictures of happy people.

Enpocket Makes Mobile Advertising Look Mature

Customer Experience Matrix

As you know from Monday's post , I’ve been poking around a bit at mobile marketing software. One company that turned up is Enpocket , a Boston-based firm that has developed what appears—and I’m basing this only on their Web site—to be an impressively complete system for managing mobile advertising campaigns. Its two main components are a marketing engine that sends messages in pretty much any format (text, email, Web page, video, etc.), and a personalization engine that builds self-adjusting pre

Sales & Marketing Alignment: How to Synergize for Success

Speaker: Carlos Hidalgo, Co-Founder & CEO of Digital Exhaust, Author, International Keynote & TEDx Speaker

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.

Defining Process is Key to Selecting Software

Customer Experience Matrix

Readership of this blog picks up greatly when I write about specific software products. I’d like to think that’s because I am a famous expert on the topic, but suspect it’s simply that people are always looking for information about which products to buy. Given the volume of information already available on the Internet, this seems a little surprising.

This Omnivore's Dilemma

Smashmouth Marketing

Having taken my share of carbon from the world and packing it into my sizable body, my brother-in-law Jason recently recommended I read The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. To say it may change the way I think about food is an understatement. I am one of those people that takes a hobby or cause to a new level and make the term "type A personality" seem soft, but this is one mission I believe I may make a permanent one.

I Invented the Word Blogletter

Anything Goes Marketing

According to Veronica Brown over at the Content Factor , I co-invented the word "blogletter" which is a combination of a blog and an enewsletter. This is based on my blog post called: Where Do Your Email Newsletters Go? Email Heaven? Becuase I did publish my blog post first on this subject, I'm taking full credit for this - yeah baby! Chad H. PS - Ok, the term blogletter has been used for many purposes but it seems that this was the first time it was used for this purpose - prove me wrong!

Lifetime Value is More than Another Way to Spell ROI

Customer Experience Matrix

One of our central propositions at Client X Client is that every business decision should be measured by its impact on customer lifetime value. This is because lifetime value provides a common denominator to compare decisions that are otherwise utterly dissimilar. How else do I choose whether to invest in a new factory or improve customer service? I was presenting this argument yesterday when I realized that you could say the same for Return on Investment.

Sanjaya Malakar is Benefiting by a Complex System Anomoly

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.

Why You're Going to Replace the Mobile Marketing Software You Haven't Even Bought Yet

Customer Experience Matrix

I’ve seen several (well, two) articles recently about mobile marketing software. That’s one mention short of a trend, but I figured I’d be proactive and see what was going on out there. The general idea behind the articles was that new products are now making it easier to do serious campaign management for mobile promotions. Somewhat to my disappointment, a quick bit of Googling showed there are many more than two products already present in this space.

Proving the Value of Site Optimization

Customer Experience Matrix

Eric’s comment on yesterday’s post , to the effect that “There shouldn’t be much debate here. Both full and fractional designs have their place in the testing cycle” is a useful reminder that it’s easy to get distracted by technical details and miss the larger perspective of the value provided by testing systems. This in turn raises the question posed implicitly by Friday’s post and Demi’s comment, of why so few companies have actually adopted these systems despite the proven benefits.

Is Taguchi Good for Multivariate Testing?

Customer Experience Matrix

I’ve spent a lot of time recently talking to vendors of Web site testing systems. One topic that keeps coming up is whether Taguchi testing—which tests selected combinations of variables and infers the results for untested combinations—is a useful technique for this application. Some vendors use it heavily; some make it available but don’t recommend it; others reject it altogether.
