How Digital Marketing Agencies can Boost Revenue Through Technology Partnerships

Martina Ivanović

Meeting customer expectations with the right content, at the right time, and on the right channels has become a challenge for most digital marketing agencies. Constant disruption and innovation within the customer engagement space, personalizing experiences for each business and customer, and choosing between multiple tools and tactics can make brand communication complicated and siloed.

Today, digital marketing agencies need to go beyond delivering conversions – they need to create meaningful campaigns that continuously drive business and engage loyal customers. One of the main ways to tackle this is to offer additional services that boost customer experience – and that include everything from content, data, a manageable tech stack, and a team of digital strategists and content marketers.

A single omnichannel customer engagement hub empowers digital marketing agencies to do just that. Here we highlight what benefits the right communications technology partner can bring to your business.

Data-driven marketing

Customers today choose to interact, search, purchase, and engage with brands differently, and want to be treated as individuals. Therefore, the strength of a campaign lies in data. But, with multiple sources and channels, consolidating customer data into one platform to get an in-depth, 360-degree view can be a challenge.

Utilizing a customer data platform not only provides better clarity, but also enables you to develop meaningful insights from tracked behavior – and deliver great customer experiences.

Our customer data platform – People helps digital marketing agencies focus on making data-driven decisions along with offering value-added services. With People, digital marketing agencies can:

  • Run data-driven campaigns: Get a complete view of the data from one centralized hub so you can recommend and suggest campaigns based on prior behavior and events, thereby delivering higher ROI for your clients.
  • Centralize customer data: Offer your clients the value-added service of consolidating all their customer data in one single place. Then, the audience can be segmented for better targeting, creating a single source of customer truth for your clients which is updated in real-time.

Bot-powered campaigns

Chatbots are one of the fastest emerging marketing trends. No longer are they relegated for always-on customer support. Rather, if used properly, they can give your campaigns automated power. As a digital marketing agency, it’s important you partner with a chatbot building platform that helps you create chatbot marketing campaigns that are effective, easy-to-integrate with your digital channel offering, and conversational. Our chatbot building platform Answers along with our Professional Services allows you to deliver conversational bot experiences. Andyou can convert critics into fans by transferring them to an agent for complex queries when you connect Answers to your cloud contact center. Through our platform you can:

Make your automated messaging conversational: Answers enables you to build a chatbot on any of your messaging channels – allowing your clients to interact with their customers during promotions – thereby ensuring more conversions and greater ROI.

Drive engagement: Increase your clients’ customer engagement by running interactive polls, surveys, or quizzes – or by sharing interesting rich media content. You can take it a step further by modeling your chatbot on popular personalities to create campaigns that generate buzz or can go viral.

Supercharge Facebook ad campaigns: If you already offer Facebook and Instagram ads, you can easily upsell by setting up a Messenger chatbot – making the ad an interactive experience. When a customer interacts with an ad on Messenger or a click-to-messenger ad, the chatbot will start the conversation and take the customer through the entire journey.

Fuel revenue streams: With Answers you can track chatbot performance and use the results to set up monthly client check-ins to earn recurring performance revenue. Another way is to move from a simple keyword chatbot to an AI-powered one.

Provide customer care through social media: Social media has long been used by marketers as a channel for building customer relationships, with numerous stories of brands delighting customers who air grievances with freebies or inspire followers with ideas and campaigns. By adding a digital contact center like Conversations, you can provide the added value over Facebook, Twitter and Instagram through proactive customer support and reviews management.
