"Blast" marketing strategies of the past are no longer sufficient to engage today's customers and foster loyalty. Typical campaign response rates have plummeted while customer opt-out rates have ascended, limiting your ability to converse with even your most valuable customers. New automated dialogue strategies can help retailers create a seamless experience across all channels and engage with each of their customers as individuals, connecting every customer communication - outbound, inbound, marketing, sales or service - into an ongoing dialogue where customer insight and understanding forms the basis for each and every interaction.
