Meeting those expectations is rewarding; 67% of people surveyed told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/research\/customer-expectations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salesforce<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that they\u2019ll pay more for a great experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how do you get there? The key is consistent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fullcontact.com\/solutions\/customer-recognition\/\">recognition<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That same study found that 70% of customers say that connected processes \u2014 such as seamless handoffs, engagement based on a great customer experience, and connecting the customer experience from media to engagement to enterprise customer management systems \u2014are incredibly important to winning and keeping their business. This makes persistence fundamental.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A persistent identity layer for your customers and prospects is what makes Identity Resolution successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is a Persistent Identity?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, it\u2019s an ID attached to a number of pieces of the core identity, so if one of those identifiers changes (for example, if someone moves or changes their phone number) the ID is attached to the other parts of that identity. Persistency is maintained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being able to recognize a person from fragments of their identity gives you both the ability to recognize people when they\u2019re engaged with you and provide them with the most relevant messaging. But this shouldn&#8217;t be a one-time event because people expect a consistent experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People interact through so many channels and use so many different contact information types, you need to have a way to bring them all together. Identifying someone in the moment they\u2019re engaged with you is great, but how do you tie all of the information they provide together when they may sign-up for your email, then call customer service or provide a home and business address for different deliveries?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Persistency In Action<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let\u2019s say that Chris signs up for a monthly email newsletter from his favorite supplement company when visiting in-store. The next month he gets the newsletter, and orders vitamins on his laptop. After he completes his order, he remembers that he also wanted CBD tincture to help him sleep<\/span><b>, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so he goes to the site on his phone\u2019s browser and is greeted with the message, \u201cWelcome Back, Chris,\u201d before he even logs in, and makes his purchase of a trial size of CBD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris tweets about how great he\u2019s been sleeping, thanks to the company\u2019s CBD. The company matches his Twitter handle to his account and recognizes him as a purchaser. Because he\u2019s shown that he makes purchases after receiving an email, they send him a personalized email offering a discount to make a purchase of a three-month supply of CBD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Chris tweeted that the CBD product was helping him, the company could have sent him a direct message, but matching his Twitter handle to his persistent ID and his account gave the company context and history. This enabled them to directly send him the best offer, based on their complete picture of him as a customer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three months later, Chris goes to their website to buy organic coffee for a friend and has it shipped to her address. Before he logs in, he\u2019s shown content about how green tea is great for midday energy boosts. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the company has a persistent identifier for Chris, they\u2019re able to tie his vitamin purchase to his account and Mobile Ad ID. When he makes a purchase for his friend, the company knows that it\u2019s a gift, and adds him to their \u201cgift buyer\u201d audience segment for later use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By connecting all of Chris\u2019s fragmented identifiers to a unified view, the supplement company not only maintains a good customer relationship, they also improve it. They didn\u2019t show Chris content for products he\u2019d already purchased, but instead, they displayed complimentary content relevant to his interests. And even though he\u2019s made a purchase for someone else Chris isn\u2019t bombarded with re-targeted ads for an item he bought as a one-time gift, because the company knows not to advertise to him for those products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Applying the Persistent ID<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A customer ID is just a starting point &#8212; but you need to map that to an anonymous, persistent ID that you can use to keep up with the changes to their information and also recognize your customers or hand-raisers when they provide you with new information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That persistent identifier should be unique per-person and per-business or brand that uses the identifier. Since it\u2019s unique and anonymous, it\u2019s secure and portable throughout your internal platforms and across external MarTech platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the persistent ID is mapped to your customer ID and is available in real-time, gives you a privacy-safe way to improve your marketing efforts at all stages of the customer journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Want to know how our persistent PersonID works? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fullcontact.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/15\/resolve-building-the-identity-resolution-engine-part-2\/\">Check out the blog detailing how we created it<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supercharge Your Marketing Efforts With a Simple Solution Customer expectations are fairly straightforward: they want to be treated like a person and they expect companies to understand their needs and expectations.
