Strategi Sederhana Untuk Analisis Kesuksesan

Kami telah memasuki generasi “big data” dengan jumlah dan jenis data yang sangat banyak tersedia untuk “data geeks” untuk memecahkan berbagai jenis masalah bisnis. Meskipun ini semua sangat menarik, penting bahwa kita tidak kehilangan fokus pada hal-hal yang paling penting. Apakah organisasi Anda baru memulai perjalanan analisisnya atau telah melakukan analitik data selama bertahun-tahun, berfokus pada tiga hal penting berikut akan membantu Anda mencapai keberhasilan analisis.

Identifikasi Pelanggan Terbaik Anda
Pada tahun 1906, ekonom Italia, Vilfredo Pareto mengajukan sebuah aturan matematika untuk menjelaskan distribusi kekayaan yang tidak merata di negaranya. Pengamatannya bahwa 20 persen dari orang-orang memiliki 80 persen kekayaan menyebabkan apa yang umumnya dikenal sebagai Prinsip Pareto atau Aturan 80-20, yang jelas dalam hampir semua organisasi. Lakukan analisis pelanggan tentang industri atau jenis perusahaan apa pun — lembaga keuangan, pengecer, restoran, barang kemasan konsumen, nirlaba, tim olahraga — dan Anda akan menemukan segmen konsumen tertentu berkontribusi jauh lebih banyak ke garis bawah daripada ukuran mereka. Rasionya tidak selalu 80-20 (Saya telah melihat ekstrem di mana 1 persen pelanggan memiliki 95 persen pendapatan dan lebih banyak kasus sedang di mana 40 persen pelanggan mewakili 60 persen pendapatan), tetapi hampir selalu bernilai tinggi atau terbaik Segmen pelanggan akan muncul.

Organisasi secara anekdot tahu tentang kelompok ini, tetapi banyak yang tidak melakukan pekerjaan analitis yang diperlukan untuk mengidentifikasi pelanggan tertentu ini sehingga mereka dapat memperlakukan mereka secara berbeda dari saudara-saudara mereka yang kurang dihargai. Jenis pekerjaan ini, sering disebut sebagai segmentasi nilai, adalah fondasi dari analitik pemasaran yang baik. Ini membantu Anda mengidentifikasi pelanggan terbaik Anda dan memberikan wawasan kepada pemasar tentang strategi yang masuk akal berdasarkan nilai pelanggan dibandingkan semua pelanggan yang diperlakukan sama.

Pelanggan bernilai tinggi ini adalah yang paling penting untuk dipertahankan, mereka memiliki kemungkinan lebih tinggi untuk membeli produk atau layanan lain yang ditawarkan oleh perusahaan Anda dan, mungkin mengejutkan banyak orang, mereka juga memiliki kapasitas yang lebih besar untuk membeli lebih banyak dari apa yang sudah mereka beli dari Anda bisnis. Pelanggan bernilai tinggi ini sering kali bukan hanya bernilai tinggi untuk merek Anda, tetapi juga pembeli kategori bernilai tinggi yang mewakili peluang bagi pemasar untuk memperoleh pangsa dompet yang lebih besar.

Evaluasi Pelanggan Baru Anda: Siapa yang saya dapatkan dan bagaimana saya memaksimalkan nilainya?
Rekan-rekan saya dan saya baru-baru ini bertemu dengan klien industri asuransi yang mengatakan bahwa organisasinya tidak mengalami kesulitan dalam mempertahankan pelanggan. Ketika kami menjelajahi buku bisnis perusahaan secara keseluruhan, kami menemukan itu cukup banyak benar; tingkat pembaruan keseluruhan sekitar 95 persen – tingkat yang sehat yang akan membuat iri banyak organisasi.

Tapi tingkat keseluruhannya bukan cerita lengkap. Ketika kami mengebor lebih jauh ke bawah dan melihat tingkat pembaruan oleh kelompok tenurial, kami menemukan hasil yang berbeda secara signifikan. Tingkat perpanjangan tahun pertama hanya 65 persen dan tingkat perpanjangan tahun kedua adalah 85 persen. Pada dasarnya, 50 persen dari semua pelanggan yang baru diakuisisi telah membelot setelah hanya dua tahun. Namun, fakta ini disamarkan karena sebagian besar buku bisnis mereka telah ada di perusahaan selama lebih dari tiga tahun; rata-rata tingkat pembaruan tidak mencerminkan semua segmen dalam bisnis mereka. Untuk membuat keadaan menjadi lebih buruk, bagian terbesar dari dolar pemasaran mereka (seperti kebanyakan organisasi) dibelanjakan untuk akuisisi. Jika perusahaan ini dapat meningkatkan tingkat perpanjangan tahun pertama mereka bahkan hanya 5 persen, itu akan memiliki dampak luar biasa pada laba dan pertumbuhan portofolio mereka.

Contoh di atas adalah tentang pembaruan atau retensi, tetapi memeriksa pelanggan baru dan perilaku “awal” mereka harus menjadi andalan alat analisis Anda. Penelitian ini akan mengarah pada penargetan akuisisi yang lebih baik yang memungkinkan Anda untuk mengidentifikasi segmen konsumen dengan potensi masa depan rendah atau kemungkinan tinggi untuk tidak memperbarui, memungkinkan Anda untuk menghapusnya dari kegiatan akuisisi Anda atau mengurangi investasi pemasaran Anda di dalamnya. Peluang lainnya adalah mengembangkan strategi orientasi yang lebih baik untuk membantu pelanggan baru ini menemukan nilai produk dan layanan perusahaan Anda, dan mengubah transaksi pertama itu menjadi kebiasaan jangka panjang.

Pantau setiap Perubahan dalam Perilaku atau Migrasi
Banyak perusahaan menghasilkan laporan standar yang baik yang melihat pelanggan berdasarkan nilai. Seperti yang dinyatakan sebelumnya, ini mungkin adalah praktik paling penting dari sudut pandang analitik. Namun, laporan ini bersifat statis dan tidak mencerminkan bagaimana perubahan basis pelanggan Anda berubah seiring waktu. Dan kita semua tahu bahwa perubahan adalah satu-satunya yang konstan dalam kehidupan.

Melakukan analisis pada perubahan pelanggan bisa relatif sederhana. Dengan membandingkan nilai pelanggan selama dua periode waktu — misalnya, tahun ke tahun atau kuartal-ke-kuartal – Anda bisa mendapatkan wawasan tambahan yang dapat sangat berharga bagi upaya pemasaran Anda. Perbandingan ini mencerminkan dua hal: 1) apa segmen nilai pelanggan dalam periode satu dan 2) bagaimana nilai pelanggan ini berubah antara periode satu dan dua. Misalnya, Anda mungkin memiliki segmen Stabil Bernilai Tinggi yang berisi, tentu saja, pelanggan bernilai tinggi yang perilakunya tetap sama. Anda juga dapat mengidentifikasi segmen High Value Decliner yang terdiri dari pelanggan yang bernilai tinggi dalam periode pertama, tetapi nilainya telah menurun secara signifikan dalam periode dua. Anda bahkan dapat menemukan segmen pelanggan dengan Nilai Bertambah Rendah yang nilainya rendah pada periode pertama tumbuh signifikan dalam periode dua.

Setelah segmen ini dibuat, Anda dapat mengukur nilai segmen dan dampak perubahan perilaku mereka terhadap bisnis. Pekerjaan ini memungkinkan pemasar untuk mengidentifikasi beberapa segmen kunci yang dapat memperoleh manfaat dari inisiatif pemasaran di masa depan. Organisasi yang digerakkan oleh analisis biasanya akan mem-profil segmen-segmen ini untuk mendapatkan wawasan yang lebih luas tentang pelanggan ini dan mengembangkan program untuk mendorong atau mencegah perilaku di masa depan. Dunia analitik bisa rumit dan beragam, tetapi jika Anda mengingat ketiga jenis analisis ini, Anda berada di jalan menuju analisis pemasaran yang sukses.

P&G's 'The Talk' wins top honor at AdColor Awards


Procter & Gamble’s “The Talk,” a sobering look at the difficult conversations African-American families have about racism and police violence, won Ad of the Year at the 12th Annual AdColor Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.

“The Talk” is part of P&G’s long-running “My Black is Beautiful” campaign, which seeks to connect with black women and girls. BBDO New York created the spot, which was directed by Malik Vitthal of The Corner Shop. In it, mothers must explain the realities of racial bias to their children: being called “pretty for a black girl” is no compliment; good driving is no protection from getting pulled over; being out after dark can be dangerous no matter how innocent your actions.

Saurabh Sharma : Graphic Designer

Saurabh Sharma is a self-taught designer focused on Branding and Digital Illustration, obsessed with colours, and interested in cognitive psychology. Beyond this, he’s a founder of Blanky Creative Agency working helping clients building their brand and also the Creative Director at CapStreet Media.

Why are you a Graphic Designer?
Being a graphics designer is not only creating something for a brand. It’s all about how you provide the values to the society. So, I became designer to help the world make smarter decisions.

Did you attend school for fine art or design?
No, I didn’t go to any design schools. I believe every person is an artist. It all starts within the childhood when you’re doodling all over your walls in your house. All it need just a passion to continue your childhood things.

You have a distinct style of Design. How long did it take you to develop your style?
Being a self-taught designer every day is a learning process for me. So for developing any style, it’s a practice and discipline.
My unconventional background and always eager to learn new has made me stronger and my unique mixture of design, illustration and social content-creation is what makes me stand out in an increasingly online world.

How did you focus so much on infographic? When did you realise you loved doing it and wanted more of it?
If you’ll see the facts and some case studies, Infographic increases the engagements up to 12%. From the clients perspective, this is all that they need. So to keep up with the market, infographics is must on digital platforms.

Were there any particular role models for you when you grew up?
Frankly speaking, I’ve grown up in an atmosphere where no one knew about Graphic Design Profession, so if you’re considering a role model from Design Industry, then I must say NO ONE!!
But in my childhood, I was really obsessed with the work of my Arts Teacher. The way she paints and illustrates makes me crazy.

Who was the most influential personality in your career in graphic design?
I believe the time is the most influential person in my career. Time teaches you everything. As I said earlier also being a self-taught designer every day is a learning day. So when you learn every day you’ll go through many designers work and every designer has its unique style. Every designer teaches me something.

When did you start freelancing?
I did my first freelancing back at the age of 11 when I made a painting for one of my friend. But it was just a NO PAYING job!! Haha!

Was there any time when you wanted to quit graphic design?
Never!! Art is what teaching me about the culture, life and people. Quitting art can never be an option for me.
There’s this one famous saying by Robert L. Peters that we often use in our studio, “Design creates culture, Culture shapes value and Value determines the future”.

Are many advertising agencies hiring graphic designers? Do you work more with agencies or publishers or direct clients?
Most of the advertising agencies have their own designers team, still for some work they outsource their creative works.
I’ve got a mixed set of clients, someday I’m working with agencies then someday I’m working directly with the client.

Do you have clients who give you steady work or do you advertise for new clients often?
Agency provides me Outdoor creative work whereas I’ve some regular clients with whom I’m working from 3-4 years.

How do you market yourself?
This is the most difficult part of the designer. We help clients in marketing themselves but we are very poor at creating a marketing plan for ourselves because you’ve to go through a hell lot of process in creating a strategy.
But generally with references, social media, clients-to-clients we are running our business. And yes I have got a very good retention rate with old clients.

Any other Indian graphic designers who you admire?
Yeah, there are some Indian designers. Binoy Sarkar, RK Joshi, Akshar Pathak, Tashi Choden, Shivalini Kumar to name a few.

What advice do you have for aspiring creative professionals? Would you advise them to take on graphic design as a career option?
We have a saying in our studio, “Design is the Future” and we relate it to every aspect.
I see a design trend where tools are becoming more accessible to everyone. Eventually, it’ll be all about skills and creativity; years of experience learning complex software won’t count for much in a designer’s CV anymore. And that’s great because there will be more talent than ever.
Design innovation will speed up, and there will be new trends coming and going within weeks.

Do you think Clients are opening up to keeping aside a decent respectable budget for design work? Do you think clients are understanding that they need to invest in Design as a communication tool and also to cut the clutter, and that good design comes at a price?
Every industry work on the rule of Demand and Supply. So when clients have realized the value of Design for their product they have to focus on it. They just have to supply a demand for good social adverts, great brand messaging, subtle packaging and various other factors that are involved in making a brand.

Mac or PC?
For basic work, I prefer working on a PC. But when it comes about detailing, I would say MAC anytime.

Who would you like to take out for dinner?
Katy Perry.

What’s on your iPod?
Bryan Adams, Coldplay, Boyzone, Linkin Park, Lucky Ali.

What’s your Instagram Handle?
