Changes in the marketresponse

• products and services that help the businesses to interact with customers (call centers consultants, web consultants, software etc)
• products and services that help the businesses to remember customers (consultants, data mining, CRM, data warehousing, security, software etc.)
• mass customization products and services that help customizing the businesses product and services for each customer (consultants-system, Graphic Design, Software=Web, Software personalization
• distribution and channel products and services that help building closer relationship with and/or through distributors (channel management , electronic commerce, software etc.)
• organizational structure products and services that help changing the organization to support 1to1 relationship.

The shift:

• there is a definite shift throughout the industry towards direct sales, especially in telesales and trough Internet.
• this shift is so significant that even companies who have previously sold exclusively through middlemen are now establishing direct selling operations. They recognize that this is a sensitive area – there is a danger of losing a share, but without attaining a compensating share of the direct market.

Direct sales through Internet demand simple products:

• the product has to be easy to promote in the media.
• customer need to reach a sufficient level of understanding if they are to have the confidence to order through Internet
• high cost of technology, media advertising, and low conversion rates.
• administration within e-commerce needs to be infrequent and efficient.

Over time customers will become familiar with the concept of buying direct, particularly over the Internet

Some of the tech products, which are offered are quite expensive and can not be afforded by smaller and middle sized companies today.

Many have concerns at selling commodity products in a mass market:

• it promotes a downward spiral of price cutting.
• media advertising costs rise as competitors strive to gain larger market shares in order to reduce their unit costs.
• telesales only give an edge until most insurance is sold this way.
• Internet sales reduce costs further, but are at risk from so called intelligent agents. Despite their name, these agents will tend to evaluate on price; certainly not on the intangibles like service quality.

Many are doubtful whether there is a need within the mass market for the more comprehensive products:

• they have a high cost of development, sales and administration.
• there are long lead times from concept to launch.
• a long sales process can lead to a premature termination.
• a number of basic products can meet the more comprehensive needs. Whilst this might mean duplication of cover (e.g. more than one product with legal advice cover) there is still a significant cost saving to the consumer.

Customers are just not asking for options, but rather the emphasis is on price.

This suggests customers see:

• the various products offerings as broadly similar.
• that it is more important to have the basic cover rather than go through a time consuming and perhaps fruitless acquisition process.
• they perhaps lack the knowledge and experience to define more specific needs.

Comprehensive also applies to the service offering. For example,

• ease of selling and switching unit trust shares.
• the provision of support information on ethical investments, company financial performance, or get-rich-quick schemes.

• a high degree of trust.
• a greater awareness and interest in a company and its products.
• a propensity for the customer to choose rather than be sold to.
• a virtuous circle leading to additional sales at a lower sales cost.

In theory, a relationship should prove to be a higher attractor than price. This is especially so if the relationship allows the consumer to experience added value, such as good after care service.

• customers are getting more knowledgeable and consequently smarter and more skilful in shopping around for the best deal; they expect excellent service as standard rather than as a bonus.
• shopping around undermines marketing techniques such as lost leaders.
• targeting customers with the right product at the right time is difficult:
• marketing models such as the Family Life Cycle are becoming less relevant as lifestyles fragment.
• much existing data is hard transaction data that is fragmented across many product based systems.
• consolidating this data into a customer database is proving more difficult than expected.
• the added value of overlaying this core data with bought-in demographic data is declining, as lifestyles became more varied.
• the frequent use of mail-shots and the rise push is increasingly irritating customers. 

• RM works with aggregates of customers whereas 1-to-1 works with individuals.
• RM attempts to find and match these segments with existing products, whereas 1-to-1 aims to provide products to fit the particular needs of an individual customer.
• RM separates the 3 stages of product design, sales and build. 1-to-1 though, consolidates these into a seamless task whereby design and build are the outcome of the sales process (i.e. needs analysis) – see the next section on Mass Customisation.
• RM tends to focus on market share, whereas 1-to-1 focuses on share of a customer’s life time purchases.
• in reality RM tends to use marketing actions involving one-way mass media advertising and general special offers open to all customers. 1-to-1 uses interactive dialogues and custom promotions addressed to individuals.

• reduce customer attrition rates and churn.
• increase sales per customer
• lower sales cost.
• customer lock-in in a non coercive manner.
• intimate feedback on existing and new products and services.
• clear business justification for the new interactive mediums.

Barriers

• adding personal soft lifestyle data is extremely expensive to collect and difficult to process.
• getting approval for advertising spend is relatively easy compared to justifying the case to collect personal data whose benefits are long term and not guaranteed.
• customers and civil liberty bodies may feel that privacy is being eroded, especially where databases contain the softer data, such as aspirations, desires, likes and dislikes; as well as a full transaction log of past actions and a prediction of future behaviour.
• difficulties in recruiting staff with the right personality. For instance, staff who inspire customers to divulge their dreams, and then go on to suggest a method to realise them.
• communicating customer’s ideas and requirements for new products and services requires new internal processes.
• customer service is extremely difficult if all customers have a different product specification or service arrangement.
• implementing new processes, new technologies and new ways of thinking, working and remunerating is very difficult, especially within existing distribution channels.
• organisations typically divide themselves into divisions for handling different products, and then further split themselves into functional silos. Integrating these is a challenge.
• new technologies like data mining, natural language processing, and the interactive technologies are in their infancy.
• the technological difficulties of creating a customer database. They are often under the exclusive control of marketing and are separate from the transactional systems. 1-to-1 Marketing needs a customer view at the transaction level enhanced by a customer history of all interactions.

• data mining is one area, but few wished to discuss the matter. Perhaps there is a feeling that data mining will be the marketing equivalent of the «cruise missile».
• Note: 1-to-1 Marketing sees data mining as a useful precursor in order to segment customers based on their likely behaviour but not as a substitute for a collaborative interaction where a customer divulges his/her actual intentions.
• a number of companies are developing pilots using interactive kiosks .
• similarly, some are engaging in Interactive-TV pilots.

• identifying individual consumer needs.
• designing and developing products and services (P&S) to meet those needs.
• manufacturing and delivering the P&S.
• supporting the customer throughout the P&S life cycle, possibly including disposal.

Like all businesses it must achieve all this profitably and speedily.

• the design, development and production activities become a single iterative process.
• the design of components that can inter-operate (a Lego™ approach)
• a product database describing the components and the business rules for their use, etc..
• the selection and combining of these components to meet unique needs. The embedding of the customised product definition within the customer’s own unique P&S offering (e.g. their policy record).
• a framework of high level process definitions with flexibility at the detail level. The rules within each unique offering ensures adherence to compliance requirements.
• highly skilled staff operating the processes. Motivation and rewards stem from meeting customer needs to a high level of satisfaction.
• information feedback loops within the processes. These ensure that new and existing components reflect changing consumer needs.
• integrated organisational structures and re-engineered business processes — no longer can marketing,
• NPD, sales, servicing, claims, actuarial, purchasing, HR, and IT work in isolated silos.
• tightly integrated distribution and supply chains.
• elimination of distributors and suppliers who add no value.
• technology plays an important role throughout the whole business process. Increasingly the process
• technology will include technology owned by the customer.
  – e.g. 1) an investment offering is carried in a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) which is in regular communication with the stock market prices and, when required communicates with the insurer.
  – e.g. 2) cars will automatically communicate with insurers and loss adjusters after being involved in an accident.

• greater customer satisfaction and repeat business due to a better fit between customer needs and the P&S offering.
• greater conversion of inquiries to sales because there is less time for assessing competitive offerings.
• a capability to address a wide and fragmenting market (the core mass market as well as many niches).
• ability to «stake-out» a market position due to being first to market to meet new needs.
• higher profits due to the greater value added but at a cost that is comparable to a mass production.

• a range of core products with limited options provides sufficient capability to make customers feel they are getting a product(s) tailored to their needs.
• in time the market may embrace MC as consumers became more experienced and knowledgeable or embrace other criteria than costs (e.g. ethical investments based on personal attitudes and beliefs).
• MC makes it difficult for customers to do comparative shopping, especially if they are deploying automated Internet robots.
• MC may help to meet the competitive threat posed by the new entrants who tend to «cherry pick». by internally applying some of the principles of MC, it helps to achieve fast NPD.
• customising the service element may be the first application of MC. For example, letting customers communicate with the company when and how they want to, as in telephone banking.

• Note: many of the barriers mentioned under 1-to-1 Marketing are also seen as relevant to MC and are not repeated.
• a mass marketing culture based on a belief that standard products and services meet the needs of a substantial number of customers.
• most of the population is Financially Aware but Financially Unsure, though it is generally agreed that this is changing.
• whilst there are few component based packages in use, many are probably being used for internal purposes (e.g. NPD and servicing) rather than supporting the sales and marketing process.
• legacy systems will not support MC.
• the costs and risk of using the new technology to support MC. Without technology, selling and servicing will be too expensive.
• the MC concept could in practice be over-complex both for sales professionals and for the customers, causing compliance difficulties.

• Gateway 2000, suppliers of PCs, allows customers to use the Internet to specify a unique personal configuration. An opening page lists a number of useful starter configurations (http://www.gw2k.com ).
• Various motor manufacturers provide showroom systems to customise a car from the hundreds of permutations available. A specified delivery date is usually within a few days. The necessary finance can also be arranged online at the same time.
• Other web sites re-route e-mail, telephone and fax communications to customers wherever they are in the world.
• Motorola Pagers produce custom pagers in lots of 1, from a possible 29 million permutations. From entering the custom order on a portable PC at the customer’s office, the order hits the production line within 20 mins and rolls off in a box at the other end within the hour (http://www.motorola.com ).
• Personics Corp., a music store, allowed customers in the stores to put together their own personal compilations that were then created in 5 minutes complete with custom labels. (Recording companies objected to the scheme).
• Federal Express customers track the whereabouts of their parcels in real-time (http://www.fedex.com).
• The Yearlings TV Guide Internet web site creates a personalised TV listing guide based on a personal list of interests (http://www.yearling.com ).
• Sabena Airlines will page a friend an hour before your flight lands.
• Zacks Stockwatch allows investors to keep track of their personal investment portfolio
• (http://www.zacks.com/docs/investorama/ ). Each day they receive an up-to-date statement.

• there is a need to avoid eroding the substantial investment in established distribution methods (e.g. branch network).
• the brand and all that it signifies is more significant than the distribution method.
• there is a risk of de humanizing customer interaction and thus undermining the relationship.
• the need to recruit new staff with the appropriate skills and personality and then to train them.
• the need to create a customer service culture throughout the organization.
• the inflexible functional organizational structures, and complex and inefficient processes.
• a dependence on legacy IT systems and difficulties in creating new customer based administrative systems.
• the risks with new technology.
• the difficulty in estimating the ROI.
• the need to pace their customer base in the adoption and use of these new technologies.
• whether these new technologies will really take-off, especially for the mass market, and whether users will want to use them .
