The way consumers are interacting with organizations has changed enormously in recent years. Changes that have created tremendous opportunities for marketers.

As marketers, we now have access to real-time data about our market, we have the ability to engage with consumers on various channels, and we have the luxury of increased flexibility/speed due to technology.

To no fault of their own, many companies are still “stuck” in their old ways. It’s worked for them in the past so why change?

Well, you’ll be left in the dust. Everyone from law firms to electricians are starting to adapt to this new digital world and here’s how you can to:

(1) Allocate a portion of your marketing budget to digital marketing. Start focusing on digital customer data religiously with tools such as Google Analytics, CrazyEgg, and KissMetrics to name a few.

(2) Equipped with data, begin segmenting different consumers based on their motivations and personalize your marketing to each group.

(3) Take advantage of technology’s speed/flexibility by testing and learning from as many different marketing campaigns as possible. Overtime, your objective is to discover segments, channels, and campaigns that work exceptionally well for you.

Organizational change is made easier by taking baby steps towards the end goal you have in mind. We recommend that you launch small pilots to help your company experience first hand what can be achieved.

By taking these steps towards transforming marketing today, you will benefit for years to come.
