Highlights of the newest innovations (The 2021 release version)

1. Connecting with your customers:

The importance of immediate response to customers:

Let’s begin with a common fact: Only by understanding what the customer wants can there be a proper approach from a basic level (customer-led journeys)

Mobile phones are ruling over people’s lives and careers and there isn’t a day when they don’t check their phones.

This way, the best strategy to reach out to customers or even prospects is through SMS messages. Two of the most commonly used communication platforms in the United States are Twilio and TeleSign, integrating SMS messages with these platforms ensure reaching a wide cluster of customers. SMS channels are also the best as their transactional speed is immeasurable, opening gates to great flexibility.

Frequency of interaction matters:

Imagine a scenario where the customer support is slow and difficult to reach out to, you wouldn’t stay loyal to that company. Similarly, increasing the interaction rate with your customer will only bring in more customers.

Your company needs to focus on responding to customers whenever they want you to reach out to them. This is due to the fact that in customer-led journeys, customers and prospects decide the frequency of your interaction with them.

       2. Connecting on a personal level with each customer

The 2021 release sure did bring in some great capabilities to D365 Marketing. Now connecting with each of your customers individually is easier than ever before.

Personalized emails, a time saver:

When sending out emails, personalization is one thing you can never compromise on. How can you save time with personalized emails? Adding lists of data that are relevant to the customer you are sending the email to not only deepens the level of personalization, but also saves your time.

Increasing attribute support increases engagement:
