One to One Relationships via Web, Wireless and Voice

Michael J. Saylor

Founder, President and CEO, MicroStrategy Incorporated

 

Abstract

The mixture of a powerful data warehouses and an advanced business intelligence solution opens up an incredibly effective tool for marketers. Corporations are recognizing that reaching millions of customers with generic broadcast messaging is not nearly as effective as one-to-one narrowcasting. Companies can now reach individuals with personalized information and relevant product offerings via web, wireless and voice, creating a strong value for the individual. Customers truly can be reached where they are with information and offers they want -- the bar for customer expectations will be raised and companies must be ready.

 

Three Key Bullet Points:

- Companies can better understand their customers

- Customers can be reached personally & inexpensively

- Wireless devices will make marketing ubiquitous
