Why Customer Intelligence and a Marketing Database?
Extraprise has fundamentally changed the financials involved in building customer intelligence systems and marketing databases for B2B companies. However, even though we have made them much more affordable and much quicker to deploy, you should implement one only if you really need one.
Typically, a company needs to build a marketing database for a few reasons:
- Companies need to manage responses and other marketing interactions that are generated from a myriad of online and offline sources
- Companies require complex firmographic and demographic segmentation and profiling to increase leads, incent buying, or take advantage of significant up-sell and cross-sell opportunities
- Companies, to gain a competitive advantage, need to use customer intelligence to drive campaigns and offers to the right buyers, at the right time, and in the right places
Marketing Databases are More Successful the Extraprise Way
Extraprise is uniquely positioned to help you build the marketing database at the heart of a customer intelligence system. Using The Extraprise Way, our comprehensive marketing strategy and operations, software development, and project management methodology, will ensure your success.
The Extraprise Way addresses the business of marketing rather than the technical considerations IT people want to emphasize when they are building general databases. This different perspective has proven to be the most important critical success factor for building marketing databases. When the marketing database is complete, it can immediately be used to execute pilots and, then, full programs and campaigns to start generating revenue.
