Data-driven relationship marketing using digital
platforms
One sentence overview
Building long-term relationships with customers is essential for any business and this chapter
explores techniques for achieving relationship marketing using data-driven marketing techniques.
Notes on using slides for the sixth chapter in lectures – lesson plan
1. Learning objectives (Slides 6.2 and 6.3). Recommended that students are reminded
about the complexity of lifecycle marketing (Figure 2.1 or similar Figures 6.2 or 6.15)
and how marketing automation based on insight about customer interactions and profiles
can help manage this complexity. This is typically rules-based, but AI and machine
learning can reduce this. Both require the overall lifecycle to be considered.

2. Channels supporting customer engagement (Slide 6.4, Figure 6.1). Explains the
devices and media used to deliver messaging (Relate back to 7Ds).

automation and sales force automation.
7. Email marketing opportunities (Slide 6.10, Figure 6.2). Despite the popularity of
social media across all age groups, especially the younger age groups, email marketing
is a more effective direct sales driver (see, for example Figure 9.1). This figure shows
how automation can be used to schedule many types of email for lifecycle marketing
(Figure 6.15) explores social media marketing.
8. Customer lifecycle management strategy (Figure 6.3). Another introductory slide
related to strategic communications objectives.
9. Permission marketing (Slide 6.12). Explains the concept via the ‘dating the customer’
idea of Seth Godin.
10. Permission marketing example (Slide 6.13, Figure 6.4). This is a classic approach
seen on many retail sites – ask students for examples where there is a discount off first-
time purchase.

Dave Chaffey to implement permission marketing.

contact strategies to achieve communications goals. Could be used in assignments
focusing on a company example.

20. Cohort analysis example (Slide 6.23, Table 6.3). A more advanced technique. Ask
students which month is most concerning and why? (March since highest churn).
