Make your data shine with Tableau

Sat, 04/01/2017 - 08:19 -- admin

Even though we are not always aware of it, Data visualization is influencing our everyday life more and more. Our brains are made to easily process visual data, which we cannot say for complicated spreadsheets and reports. Raw data is monotonous and very often difficult to understand. By presenting data in a visually appealing way we are making it easier to read and also provide a possibility to uncover surprising patterns and observations that wouldn't be apparent from looking at stats alone. To begin visualizing your data you need a right peace of software.

Azure – Microsoft’s vision of cloud computing

Mon, 03/06/2017 - 12:36 -- admin

Comparing to cloud computing, on-premises computing can be expensive. You need to buy the right hardware and the software, have the people to maintain and keep everything up to date and there are also other expenses, like electric power, real estate costs etc.  Comparing to that, Cloud solutions are accessed online and usually hosted by a third-party vendor. The second difference between them is the “pay as you go” or on-demand usage service model comparing to the traditional upfront capital expenditure, as it is the case with on-premises computing.

eCommerce - Account Based Marketing - Part 3 - Account, Customer, Advocate

Tue, 10/04/2016 - 12:48 -- admin

After discussing the proper use of available resources, we can dive into explaining major differences between buyers, customers, and advocates. But, first, it is important to outline the fact that before putting any effort in marketing and sales, you have to be sure your products or services really serve the needs of your customers. No marketing and sales strategies and tactics can bring revenues if your product doesn’t provide the needed quality, ease of use, and an empowering customer experience.

Well organized, attractive looking online store will attract buyers, and you will sell products. But, what you don’t want is to attract one time buyers only. You want satisfied customers who will return to buy more, and become advocates for your online store. You want to spread their story, their satisfaction with your products, and attract even more loyal customers. So, take care your products are worth both your and your customer’s effort.

Account Based Marketing - Reversed Funnel

There are three different stages that your buyer will go through if your eCommerce implements a successful Account Based Marketing strategy:

  1. Stage one: Buyer
  2. Stage two: Customer
  3. Stage three: Advocate...

Choosing the right metric for measuring the results of your marketing efforts is easy, but if your choice falls on leads, you are probably on the wrong track. The main task of marketing teams in eCommerce is to generate leads, and provide new opportunities for sales. There is a catch here. Leads are not making money, accounts are!

The key metric for Account Based Marketing is revenue. Moving the focus from leads to accounts, the company will grow revenue from new sales, and generate more revenue from existing customers. Account Based Marketing has the power to transform the organization of your marketing and sales.
