Data, Analytics Fuel Real-Time Customer Experience

Marketers may be able to deliver more relevant, personalized experiences to consumers by defining the customer journey, leveraging data and machine learning, and monitoring performance. In today's customercentric environment, delivering superior experiences can create competitive advantage for brands. However, many marketers face challenges providing highly personalized, real-time experiences to consumers across websites, mobile apps, call centers, retail stores, and other venues. Consider this example: Jane receives a coupon in the mail, addressed to "current resident," for a 10 percent discount on an in-store or online purchase. She takes the coupon to the store on her next visit and pays for a blouse in cash.
