Push button customer segmentation and closed-loop marketing
Online marketing and merchandising managers can immediately leverage the WebSphere Commerce Marketing Campaign system to act on insights gained in Coremetrics. A business user can leverage the vast amount of data stored in Coremetrics LIVE (Lifetime Individual Visitor Experience) Profiles to define a customer segment, e.g. customers who have abandoned an item from a particular department. With one click, those customers are delivered to the WebSphere Commerce Marketing Campaign system where the business user can author and send an email campaign with specific content relevant to that customer segment. Sales conversions for the email campaign, as well as conversion metrics for the specific customer segment, are tracked over time by Coremetrics.
"The delivery of this integration illustrates not only our commitment to the partnership with IBM WebSphere, but also our dedication to the success of our clients," said Joe Davis, president and CEO at Coremetrics. "We are focused on enabling our common customers to turn insight into action, and with this release, those users are uniquely able to identify an opportunity, run targeted campaigns and immediately receive feedback."
Coremetrics and IBM WebSphere's joint partnership provides clients with access to actionable data in convenient, easy-to-access reports. Numerous clients are immediately poised to benefit from this solution, including Blair Corporation, Northern Tool, and Staples.
