Interactive marketing organization
Interactive marketing is a process for
creating and managing customer value to build long-term relationships with the right customers and maximize shareholder value (Shankar
and Malthouse 2006). All marketing should be predicated on some corporate strategy. Given a strategy, the interactive marketing process
is as follows:
1. The first step is to understand consumers and other stakeholders through qualitative and quantitative marketing research,
the analysis of large databases of customer information (e.g., transactional, contact and search histories, web logs, etc.), and theories
of consumer behavior.
2. This understanding is necessary to create relevant brands and product/service offerings as well as
the ideas, messages and offers to communicate with customers and other stakeholders.
3. Contact points are interactions that communicate
the brand concept to the consumer. They are usually made through multiple addressable and mass communication channels, and are often
targeted and customized with customer–level data. Ideally, contact points and consumer responses to them are tracked and measured.
Contacts should be managed across customers, communication and distribution channels, and time.
