Online customer journey analyses
dag 04.04.2014
Analysing the online (and offline) end to end steps/touchpoints a customer
goes through in order to either purchase, enquire, utilise or experience
what they want from your company or organisation
Budget allocation — Customer journeys highlight the media of most impact, providing an
informed data point for ROI calculation within an attribution model
Channel optimization — By knowing the preceding touchpoint or traffic source, reinforce the
connection between the two channels
Personalisation strategy per touchpoint — By having the context of a customer‟s buying
pattern, customize content to acknowledge past actions

Can‟t we do this within our Digital-Analytics-Tool ?

How many touchpoints do we see in our existing Digital-Analytics-Tool(s)?
Quite often it is just 1 (one) …
Keep in mind the impact of customer journey analyses on revenue could be small

“All touchpoints are equal …?”
Paid vs. Organic
Ads vs. Content marketing
Post click vs. Post view
Online vs. Offline
External vs. Internal
Conversions = Touchpoints?

Requirement: Time

How long is a journey?
30 days
Catalogues may be sent twice a year
Re-targeting: “free shipping” because you just left a shopping site: valid for a few minutes
How relevant is a post view touch point on that re-targeting ad after the offer expired?
We need a model for “attribution decay” (William Gibson) in customer journey
The rules for building the customer journey and the rules of the attribution
model have to match with the complex reality of "how do we communicate with
our (potential) customers"

At what kind of granularity are you currently running your online campaign reporting within your
Digital-Analytics-Tool?
High level ….. You need first to think about a new concept to get correct results for your
customer journey analyses
Do you have quite often unreliable campaign reports because of double used and/or missing
campaign Ids?
You need to check/improve/automize your campaign ID Management
At the end you must be able to synchronise your Digital-Analytics-Tool and your potentiell
Customer-Journey-Tool, CRM, BI, Data Warehouse platform

Requirement: Human behaviour

Is online marketing really willing to shift budgets based on customer journey analyses results?
Discuss consequences first .... some channel owner might not be amused about cutting their
budgets

Tools/methods of customer journey analyses
dag 04.04.2014

Conclusions
dag 04.04.2014
OK, it makes sense to consider customer journey analyses
Budget optimisation
Campaign optimisation
Personalisation
Before choosing a tool you should check
Do your clients use (perceive) more than one touch point
Is the impact of previous touchpoints big enough to justify the TCO of customer journey analyses
Is your data quality good enough to identify the relevant touchpoints (campaign ID management!)
Is your organization ready to act on customer journey results
If all that„s OK, then select a tool or method to run customer journey analyses
matching your requirements
