INFOGRAPHIC
In 2022, people expect brand interactions to be focused on their needs. In fact, customers now value personalization more than price, so your company must treat your customers as individuals. With a CCM platform, you can leverage the key features required to humanize the interaction with your clients. Find out how in our infographic covering 9 ways you can personalize customer communications with CCM:
Individualized Communications
at Scale
Customer Loyalty via the Human Touch
Customers today value experience. They stay with their providers if they enjoy them, and quickly switch if they don’t. They are also willing to pay a premium for better interactions with a company. PWC research establishes that the most important component of the customer experience is the “Human Touch.”
Specifically, they state it is imperative that companies create better customer experiences by making technology and interactions feel more human. Research from both PWC and Pure360 show that many personalization efforts miss the mark in this regard, demonstrating the need for better personalized communications.
For over fifteen years, MHC’s Customer Communications Management solutions have set the standard for natural personalization at both the small and vary large scales. MHC enables organizations in a broad range of industries to leverage existing customer knowledge appropriately, communicate with customers in the manner they prefer, provide engaging self-service capabilities, and ultimately build a loyal and growing customer base.
How to Personalize Customer Communications Using
the MHC CCM Platform
Use a Complete CCM Solution
Use one comprehensive customer communications management solution, rather than a hodgepodge of different solutions tackling individual issues, all trying to work together to create personalized communications. Using several platforms is both inefficient and more expensive, and it is far more difficult to align brand tone across several channels.
Follow the Customer Journey
Engage customers with true omnichannel communications. Enable customers to select the communication method(s) they desire: traditional print, a host of electronic delivery channels, or a combination of the two. Deliver, in real-time, the same communication optimized for each specific device (phone, tablet, PC) that may access it. Empower customers with interactive forms and documents on any device.
Adapt the Style and Tone to the Customer
Provide personalized communications by allowing customers to select their preferred template format for statements, bills, and other data-rich communications. Ensure visually impaired customers receive accessible documents. Correspond with customers in the formal or casual tone they prefer.
Communicate in the Customer’s Language
To tend to the needs of an international client base, organizations must be able to communicate with customers in their own language. Send communications in the language each customer prefers, regardless of character set or format (e.g. Arabic). Cross the language barrier to offer a personalized experience to all customers.
Use Information from Multiple Data Sources
All customers expect to receive personalized communication, but their preferences and needs are very different. Use MHC’s software to seamlessly pull information from multiple data sources – not only contact information, but also transactional information and complex data. Take personalization to the next level and offer customers extensive data tailored to their individual needs.
Use Interactive Documents
Leverage simple documents to provide a digital experience. Deliver comprehensive data in a digital format and make it interactive so that customers can choose what they want to access. Interactive documents can help companies improve customer engagement and build personalized communi-cations for customers.
The Benefits of Personalized Communications
Organizations today can’t meet the ever-changing individual needs of each of their customers without personalized communications. The customer’s perception and expectations of a service or product have rapidly evolved in recent years – digital transformation or artificial intelligence are just few already common practices companies employ in order to keep up with all these changes.
Customer communications are no longer seen as arid transactions, and companies must deliver them on the terms the clients have set, in order to make them feel connected and loyal to their brand. Here nine essential benefits that come with personalizing communication, and tailoring them to your customers’ needs:
1. Live up to the customers’ expectations by offering them a tailor-madeexperience.
2. Make each customer feel important and build a genuine connection.
3. Reduce call center demands by offering interactive self-service.
4. Enable customers to voice their concerns and adapt services / products accordingly.
5. Increase engagement by adding a human touch to communications.
6. Make communications more efficient for customers by using interactive documents.
7. Personalized communications encourage engagement, boosting sale rates and revenue.
8. Empower customers to build their ownself-customized interactions with your company.
9. Increase retention by giving personalized offers to loyal customers, motivating them to stay.
