Next-Generation Loyalty Marketing

Retention Marketing today requires more than just websites and points balances. Tapping into proprietary programs for real-time insights, executing game mechanics designed to increase volunteered personal information to facilitate a better offer.  These are the kinds of things that the next generation loyalty marketer is thinking about today.  How does your company keep great customers happy and engaged and make good customers great?

The Zero Moment of Truth

Pioneered by a Googler, the idea that decisions are made

to the 'First Moment of Truth', that 7 seconds as a customer scans the shelf and chooses your product (according to P&G). Before they get to the shelf, but after the stimuli that made them get off the couch, there is a new mental moment.  Your customers are using search, social,  and word of mouth to shape their opinions before they even get to a store.  How are you going to own the Zero Moment?

Shared Interest Social Strategies

Understanding the theories, realities and real-life examples of how people with things in common tend to want to share their interests.  If your brand can facilitate a discussion instead of

 the discussion, you can benefit.  But how?

Content, Conversation and Curation

Marketers often look at tactics like "Make a Facebook page" as a campaign deliverable as opposed to a company strategy.  For this discussion, we'll look at what it takes to create sustainable content and engage in sustainable conversation. Does your company already produce content you can leverage for social?  You may need a knowledge manager at the same time as a community manager.

Technology for Events

Planning an event? Planning events for a living? Run a venue? Let's talk about all the great and innovative things you can do to engage your audience before, during and after your events.  Some are so easy you'll kick yourself for not doing them already.

Mobile Innovations in Payment and Engagement

The Smartphone has grown leaps and bounds in the last 5 years from something used for calls, to something our lives depend on. In the payments space, the pace of innovation has been challenged only by the imagination of the thousands of startups clamoring for a share of wallet. Does your company aim to take a slice of the mobile wallet? Engage at the time of purchase or before that in the 'Zero Moment'? Reward and engage by understanding your customer's needs through value-added platforms?

Social Customer Service

How do the big boys like Zappos, Dell, Rogers and others move customer service from expensive channels like call centres to relatively inexpensive channels like Twitter?  Is your company looking for the tools, tips and training to get your existing customer service reps into social?  We'll look at some real-life example, some of the best practices, and tools that work.

User Experience for the Mobile Web

Things are different on the mobile web. Your customers do different things, act differently and access your website via a tiny screen with their fingers instead of a giant screen with their mouse.  In this talk we'll look at some of the ways businesses can optimize an experience for mobile and what the advantages and disadvantages are.

Understanding new marketing tactics

Technology innovation is great, as long as everyone understands the value.  New marketing Tactics like QR codes are already being hotly contested for their usefulness--because they're being used incorrectly.  In this talk, we'll take a look at a few very popular and very recent technology-based marketing tactics, and dig into whether they're right for your business and the best ways to maximize your returns.

This list is by no means exhaustive.  Andrew can lead a discussion on anything marketing or technology related that you've seen in the media, want to understand better, or need general knowledge about.
