As a marketing professional, you probably already know how difficult it can be to connect with consumers in this hyper-technologized world. It is harder than ever to hold a consumer’s interest long enough to convince them to make a purchase. But this is where your technology department can come in handy.
With all of the developments and progressed logged across the tech space in recent years, your IT department has access to incredible tools, some of which can be used to reach out to hard-to-find customers.
Use your IT professionals to mine your customer data. You likely have a wealth of data on the customers who frequent your business. Not just their payment information, but also their name, age, and general location. All of this information can help you build a demographic profile that will help you in your future marketing efforts.
Once you have all of that information collected, begin devising a plan to get in touch with those previous customers. While some erroneously believe email marketing to be a thing of the past, it remains one of the most effective and affordable marketing methods in existence. Utilize it by sending out a newsletter, an alert, or a list of suggested products.
Then, begin using the demographic information your IT team has compiled to come up with a marketing campaign to reach out to consumers who fall into those same demographics. Every step of the way, use their knowledge of technology to build interactive, engaging advertisements that will draw consumer attention.
