Effective marketing is not a ‘one size fits all’ proposition, that’s why companies are constantly refining their customer segments and targeting specific messages and offers that are personalized and relevant. And because customer interactions occur across channels and devices at virtually any time, offers and pricing options must be delivered consistently and easily from one channel to another.
But making the right offer to the right customer at the right time—and in the right channel—is difficult and expensive for companies that try to manage offers with disparate business systems, technologies and disconnected communications channels. With multiple solutions, changing campaigns and updating systems and revising business processes requires IT involvement and system down-time. Without automation or process control or some centralized solution, offer management is susceptible to process variance, inconsistent service and lost revenue.
Interactive Softworks’ Metaphor software provides a powerful, versatile solution for dynamic, automated offer management and pricing configuration that works in any customer touch point. As an offer engine, Metaphor automatically determines which offer, or combination of offers, best suits a particular customer based on historical information and useful business intelligence. As a multichannel marketing engine, Metaphor coordinates cross-channel customer interactions and automates marketing activities to ensure consistently high quality interactions that deliver the right offer to the right customer at the right time.
