8:50 am - 9:10 am Omni-Channel Organization Structure: Delivering A True Omni-Channel Experience By Reorganizing Your Company To Be More Customer Focused & Less Channel Focused

If you look at the entire customer journey, what do you need to do to provide a genuine omni-channel experience? How are you organizing to win? In what way are customers interacting with you to help you do that? Where is the line between privacy and creating a useful, personalized experience to the customer? The more FI’s understand about their customer, the more personalized the experience and the more upselling opportunities will occur. This will increase market share, total lifetime value of the customer, customer retention and customer loyalty.

Along with the points above, this session will investigate:
• When transforming your business to become truly omni-channel, how do you decide where to start?
• Discovering how to set up a multi-channel organization:
o Merging lines and customer cost through channels
o How do we create common objectives and organization goals?
o Customers doesn’t think in terms of channels- how do we make our organizational structure mirror this?

In this session, we will share:

• How the customer experience significantly impacts consumer behavior.

12:20 pm - 12:40 pm Case Study: How LendingTree Boosted Direct Response Conversion Rates by NOT targeting

Many digital marketers are using big data and predictive technology to more accurately pinpoint exactly who they should target, but admittedly, there are still a lot of wasted impressions being served to online users who will never convert.

This session will walk you through a case study of Lending Tree’s success in using big data and predictive analytics to pinpoint exactly who NOT to target. Through an innovative targeting technique called Audience Filtering, Lending Tree was able to improve conversion rates significantly by avoiding users who were highly unlikely to convert.

Hear how Lending Tree implemented an audience filter across their digital channels and used a test and control methodology to measure the impact.

12:40 pm - 1:00 pm Guest Speaker: Leveraging Multi-Media Content to Effective Engage and Expand Your Audience Reach

It’s an exciting time to be working in content strategy. Not only can we create multiple kinds of content to be put out through multiple content channels, we can “do-it-ourselves” faster and more easily than ever, and we can reach record numbers of people in far-flung places and sectors. The key, however, lies in the melding of old and new: new digital, mobile, crowdsourcing and other tools are still best used in the service of strong, basic storytelling with quality, trusted content that draws the audience in. We’ll explore how media successes have, rather than dilute offerings in today’s sea of content, made them stand out across channels in the seamless aggregate…including examples of transmedia (akin to omni-channel) storytelling versus multi-media storytelling, and how the reach, meaning, and impact of “community” and “audience” are being redefined in our socially connected world.
