Every day there are billions of conversations about brands, products, and experiences. You, as a marketer, face the daunting task of trying to influence those conversations to include your brands, and the even more daunting task of monetizing those conversations by influencing a purchase of one of your products or services. The good news is that there are solutions available that assist marketers as they work to engage their audience, cultivate promoters, and hand real opportunity to their colleagues in sales.
With SAP Cloud for Customer (formerly SAP Customer OnDemand) you can engage with your customers on their journey from prospect to promoter. In this month’s release we are including new functionality to allow you to execute email marketing campaigns directly from within the product. With this functionality, you can track responses as well as key email metrics like open rates, unique click-throughs, and bounces, for a particular email campaign. These metrics also enrich each individual customer’s profile, helping sales people better understand the marketing activities and communications that their prospect has reacted to.
For marketers working with customers on social media, we are making their view of the prospect or target customer even richer. Subscribers to solutions from SAP partners FanAppz and Bazaarvoice can take advantage of new integrations that enrich the customer profile within SAP Cloud for Customer with enhanced data from these external applications.
Mangers also benefit from the expansion of our SAP Customer Insight homepage that gives managers a beautiful, mobile-device friendly overview of analytics and KPIs such as trending keywords, interaction counts, team performance, or virtually any other relevant measure.
Finally, just as you want your customers to have a great experience with your brand, we want you to have a great experience with our products. As you can see from the screenshots above, we are introducing an improved user experience with a fresh and modern look and an efficient layout that makes it easy to get your job done.
In a nutshell, this month’s release of SAP Cloud for customer delivers new features the support that marketers need as they engage prospects and cultivate promoters. And, since it’s Cloud, these enhancements are available at no additional cost for existing subscribers.
