The world and the way we interact is constantly evolving. From many new technological advances to small changes affecting our daily lives, the world is very different from what it was ten or two years ago.

 

How digital technology has changed your marketing

 

Many of these changes have influenced the way we, as a company, sell our products and services to our customers, and in this article, we look at the rise of digital technologies in marketing and look at their impact on building a sales and marketing strategy.

 

4P marketing

 

The 4P model - product, price, promotion, and location - has been the standard for chosen marketing strategy for much of the 20th century. The formula was simple and made perfect sense for marketers tasked with reaching target audiences without any direct channel of communication. Print media, television and radio were the dominant marketing channels through which 20th century shoppers could learn about products, services, news, events, and trends.

Advertisers can easily match their products to specific channels based on viewer / listener demographics on a daily and hourly basis: women's products sold through daytime television, men's products sold through evening news and prime time, and toys on Saturday morning TV shows for children.

 

All about the client

 

It is difficult to find a market segment these days that is not saturated with products and / or service options. As for our customers, they are becoming more knowledgeable and annoyingly informed and are much less likely to buy a product just because it is advertised.

Brands and corporations have gradually realized that more genuine customer engagement in their services and product development is an important part of developing a successful long-term business model.

Instead of 4Ps, the 4C model has become a better representation of the marketing strategy. As the model shows, customers are now at the center of marketing communications focused on their needs and buying habits.

 

The modern customer journey

 

How much the customer journey has changed over the past 15+ years is still not fully understood and appreciated by the vast majority of us (both suppliers and customers).

Consider, for example, the trips of past parents, toy lovers, and business owners:

 

• Long "wish lists" from every child in the family sent mom or dad in search of that special toy, without the ability to compare prices or shop without leaving home.
• Until recently, buying the latest video games involved multiple trips to your local game center to find out about the latest and greatest devices and games, before returning home to make sure your son or daughter didn't already have the item.
• Social media advertising for your product or service meant staying up late at Chamber events and at airports as you traveled to appear in front of the people who MAY be your next big customer.

 

These and 99% of other customer journey cycles have been irrevocably altered by the Internet.

These examples also mention changes in the delivery and sales channels involved, i.e., in the way a shopper buys a product, parents, toy lovers, and business owners have been particularly popular e-commerce sectors because they are particularly well suited for online transactions. This is certainly the reason that these industries were among the first to transform the Internet.

And the direction is clear: customers have more control over the stages of product research. Therefore, it is increasingly important that suppliers and brands understand how to respond.

The concept of managing customers in the research and comparison stages of their buying path is now fully accepted; however, when brands or suppliers honestly ask themselves this question, only a minority can say that they have completely redesigned their Top of the Funnel marketing efforts to reflect this new (and ever evolving) reality.
