May 8, 2023

In an increasingly digital-first customer world, customers expect personalized, fast, and seamlessly interconnected experiences with companies. In order to provide such intimate experiences to customers and grow trusted customer relationships, marketers need to use tools like Data Cloud to become data-first.

Data Cloud


Customers expect a consistent and connected experience across all channels, making it essential for businesses to ensure that their mobile and web presence is aligned with their in-store experience. They expect to be able to make purchases, raise service issues, engage with ads, view their purchase history, and track their orders, as well as receive personalized recommendations and promotions based on their previous interactions with the brand. For this to be possible data across departments has to be unified and interconnected using a tool like Salesforce’s Data Cloud, which enables us to create seamless personalized journeys for customers, which has expanded beyond marketing and into sales and service departments.

For this to be possible data across these departments has to be unified and interconnected. Additionally, the value of clean and comprehensive data cannot be overstated. However, in an increasingly complex technological landscape, siloed and disparate data systems and tools mean a true Customer360 view eludes us.

This is where Salesforce’s Data Cloud comes in. Customer Data Platform is one of the fastest-growing marketing technologies today, and it is a true enterprise solution which combines both Insights and Engagements alongside data unification and reconciliation.

Data Unification

Data Cloud has the capability to unify a company’s data by connecting to various systems such as Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Google Cloud, Amazon S3, and other third-party apps. This allows businesses to centralize their customer data, making it easily accessible and actionable across the organization.

With a Data Cloud solution, businesses can gain a holistic view of their customers, which improves customer engagement, personalization, and revenue growth.
Identity Reconciliation

This allows for matching customer profiles across various touchpoints, attributes, and devices to create one unified customer profile. This feature allows businesses to have a complete view of their customer’s interactions and engagement across different channels, and to use this information to personalize the customer experience. With identity reconciliation, marketers can better manage their budget by avoiding advertising to all available contact points that may belong to the same customer, instead, they can target unified contact points for each individual customer. This way, businesses can ensure that their marketing efforts are more relevant and effective, and their budget is better managed.

Insights

Data Cloud provides calculated insights capabilities that enable organizations to gain new insights from their customer data. By bringing together data from multiple sources and creating a single, unified view of the customer, organizations are able to perform advanced analytics to identify patterns, trends, and insights that would otherwise be difficult to uncover. With these calculated insights, businesses can better understand their customers’ needs, preferences, and behaviors, and use this information to improve their marketing, sales and customer service efforts. Data Cloud solutions can help businesses to identify their most valuable customers, predict customer lifetime value, and create personalized marketing campaigns that drive conversions and revenue. Additionally, it can also help to identify potential customer churn and take action to retain those customers.

Segmentation and Activation

With a customer360 view, businesses can create more relevant and effective marketing campaigns and target specific segments of customers with personalized messaging and offers. Salesforce Data Cloud can help businesses to integrate their segments into Salesforce Marketing Cloud through activation which allows businesses to use customer data to personalize their marketing efforts across different channels such as email, SMS, and social media.
