Traditionally, CMOs (Chief Marketing Officers) have focused attention on acquiring customers - tracking hundreds of metrics like cost per impression, lifetime value, channel value and other data points to make the customer acquisition process as scientific and effective as possible. Marketing teams analyze campaign spend and results to inform the next campaign - a repeatable cycle for customer acquisition.
But how much time do marketers spend on understanding and engaging customers across the entire lifecycle - from prospect to acquisition to new purchases and even collections? One of the biggest challenges for brands is knowing how and when to interact with consumers after a purchase has been made. Brands that focus purely on acquiring new customers are missing the opportunity to create loyal brand advocates who will return to brands for repeat purchases. Considering the entire lifecycle, CMOs looking to maximize return on investment need to understand how to best engage with customers regardless of where they are in the sales funnel or what channel they are using.
In addition, the role of the CMO is shifting and now is responsible for an ever-expanding number of sales and service touch points and the fragmentation of customer segments. This broadening of the CMO role will alter the way marketing functions in an organization. The CMO has a larger role representing the "voice of the customer" across a brand’s organization, significantly impacting brand loyalty efforts.
