The Challenge

Improve Contact Center Efficiency

PLUS, a leading mobile phone network operator in Poland, was struggling to make their marketing program and contact centers more efficient. To remain competitive and hit their aggressive growth targets they needed to increase lead generation, but their existing marketing technology proved inadequate as they struggled to create a cohesive view of the customer journey and leverage real-time data for effective lead qualification.

The lack of a unified customer view posed a substantial challenge for PLUS, as it hindered their ability to understand customer behavior and preferences holistically. Often it would take the team up to two days to effectively qualify a lead and call them back, decreasing the overall close rate and causing potential customers to lose interest or seek alternatives. Recognizing the need to streamline their processes and shorten the time between lead conversion and contact, PLUS knew they needed to make a change.

The Solution

Address the Most Qualified Profiles

Through a strategic partnership with Zeta, PLUS achieved significant improvements in their contact center operations and revenue generation. By leveraging Zeta's AI-Powered Marketing Cloud, the telecom company was able to successfully identify highly qualified profiles and more effectively prioritize their incoming leads. This enabled them to target potential customers visiting their website in real time, based on their position in the path-to-purchase.

PLUS also leveraged Zeta's data and onsite interaction capabilities during the abandonment process for existing customers. The PLUS team proactively reached out to these customers, helping guide them through the purchase process. PLUS was also able to enhance their CRM system by integrating actionable insights derived from their customer data, which helped inform their outbound calling efforts. As a result, they now plan to proactively engage with customers who are approaching their renewal period.

By utilizing Zeta's robust scoring model, PLUS was able to analyze site engagement and accurately predict the likelihood of conversion in real time, leading to a 200% increase in conversion rates from their contact center. Average time to call back also decreased from days to minutes, helping to increase the volume of transactions by a staggering 300% compared to their previous processes.

How Toyota Increased Conversion Rates by 360% with Individualized Omnichannel Engagement

Toyota is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer based in Japan. Producing 10 million vehicles per year Toyota works every day to apply and share their know-how in ways that benefit people, the community, and the planet in order to build a better tomorrow.  

The Results

By partnering with Zeta and implementing AI-based omnichannel engagement, Toyota was able to better engage potential buyers, increase leads to dealers, and boost car sales.

The Challenge

Boosting Leads for Toyota Dealers

Toyota was having trouble capitalizing on traffic to its manufacturer website. They were getting a huge number of consistent visits but funneling that traffic to local Tier 2 and Teir 3 dealers was difficult with their current marketing technology. They simply lacked the capability to connect campaigns across different channels, meaning that when someone left their manufacturer website without visiting a dealer site, it was difficult to continue to communicate with them across other digital touchpoints such as email, display, and social.

Furthermore, when leads did make it to dealers, it was challenging to determine channel attribution and gain a comprehensive understanding of overall marketing performance. Dealerships also had trouble leveraging their data from internal DMS systems for remarketing purposes, making the car buying experience feel disjointed and impersonal. To achieve their growth targets, Toyota knew they needed a transformative change in their marketing approach.

The Solution

Creating Individualized Omnichannel Experiences

To address their marketing technology challenges and enhance their omnichannel strategy, Toyota decided to implement a pilot project with Zeta. Their goal was to more effectively identify visitors to their manufacturer site and funnel them to Teir 2 and Teir 3 dealers. By leveraging Zeta's AI-Powered Marketing Cloud, Toyota unlocked unknown-to-known matching and intelligent retargeting, which enabled the team to link unknown site visitors to identities known to Zeta for targeting in other channels. Now when a visitor left the manufacturer site without converting, Toyota could retarget them across email, social, and display to push them towards a local dealer site.

Zeta also played a big role in how dealers facilitated conversations with potential buyers. By pulling customer data from the dealer DMS system and combining it with real-time behavior and conversion data from the Zeta Cloud, dealerships were able to create a comprehensive view of the customer and determine where they were in the buying process. By presenting tailored advertisements featuring each customer's desired vehicle, Toyota effectively nurtured non-converters and encouraged them towards an eventual purchase. This synchronized approach during the pilot project resulted in a 360% increase in high-quality sales leads generated from existing website traffic, resulting in more clicks and more conversions for dealers.

Difficulty Identifying High-Intent Prospects Leads to Wasted Media Spend

In the fiercely competitive direct-to-consumer smartphone industry, Samsung is continually searching for innovative ways to outperform its rivals and expand its market share. To achieve their lofty growth goals, the marketing team sought to develop a cost-effective retargeting program that utilized real-time website activity to deliver personalized messaging and promotions across channels. Unfortunately, they struggled to accurately identify and target individual consumers based on their level of interest, engagement, and conversion likelihood which hindered their ability to implement strategic audience segmentation across their paid media channels.

The Solution

AI-Based Segmentation Accurately Determines Likelihood of Conversion

To solve their segmentation issues, the marketing team at Publicis Media, on behalf of Samsung, turned to Zeta for help. By leveraging Zeta's AI-powered audience scoring model, which combines data from the Zeta Data Cloud with real-time pixel data from Samsung’s website, the team was able to accurately determine the interest, engagement, and likelihood of conversion of individual consumers. This unprecedented level of granularity allowed Samsung to leverage intent-based audience segmentation across all paid media channels.

With Zeta’s help, Samsung was able to reach highly engaged, in-market customers at the moment they were most likely to convert, with personalized messaging and promotions tailored to their individual interests and needs. This approach proved highly effective, resulting in improved efficiency and effectiveness of Samsung’s marketing efforts. Compared to their previous segmentation strategy, Samsung experienced a substantial lift in ROI and conversion rates, including a 33% increase in ROAS and a 220% increase in “add to cart” actions.

Fragmented Technology and Low-Quality Leads

Generali Poland was facing challenges with its marketing technology, hindering the team’s ability to create effective, engaging campaigns in previous years. Disparate data from a variety of tools rendered it virtually impossible to create a unified view of customers. This resulted in a disjointed multichannel communication strategy, lower-quality leads, and a prolonged sales process. To grow in the highly competitive insurance market, Generali knew they needed to find better solutions.

The Solution

AI-Based Individualized Website Experiences

After vetting multiple vendors, Generali implemented the Zeta AI-Powered Marketing Cloud to better engage their customers. To pilot the technology, Generali decided to focus on enhancing website activation with the goal of increasing lead quality. By leveraging Zeta's technology, Generali was able to eliminate their existing data silos to create a unified customer view and interact with website visitors in real time. Instead of relying on rules-based personalization, Generali crafted individualized experiences that changed depending on engagement levels and behavior, building immediate rapport with visitors through messaging and promotions that felt authentic.

Zeta's scoring engine and website personalization tools enabled Generali to activate their first-party data and scale across various insurance verticals, resulting in hundreds of sales-ready leads. Unlike their previous lead generation efforts, these leads were well nurtured and closed at a 24% higher rate, ultimately reducing time to close and driving more incremental revenue at an even quicker pace for the business.

The Challenge

Time-Consuming Data Extraction and Transfers

Rent-A-Center, and their parent company Upbound Group, was facing a serious problem. Their marketing technology platforms did not sync well, which necessitated time-consuming data extraction and transfers. This hindered their ability to quickly validate their campaigns, resulting in slower creation, inefficient processes, and subpar customer experiences. Recognizing the need to enhance their competitive edge, Rent-A-Center made the decision to modernize their data management practices so they could effectively gain a deeper understanding of customer behavior and preferences to deliver standout buying experiences.

Snowflake and Zeta Eliminate Time-Consuming Tasks and Improve Campaign Validation

Streamlining Data Extraction and Transfers Traditionally, data extraction and transfers are notorious for their time-consuming nature.

Snowflake Share enabled the team to seamlessly exchange data between various entities within the Upbound Group, eliminating the need for ETL and Reverse ETL functions. As a result, Rent-A-Center experienced a significant reduction in the time and effort required to transfer data between systems, making it fast and easy for the team to create a unified view of the customer.

However, their existing technology was unable to create a unified view of the customer, preventing the creation of a comprehensive view of the individual car buying journey.

As a result, Mitsubishi struggled to effectively target in-market customers on their website based on their position in the path to purchase. This hampered their ability to prioritize high-intent leads and coordinate messaging across all channels leading to a disjointed communication strategy. To overcome these limitations and achieve their marketing goals, Mitsubishi needed a new marketing technology solution that would enable a holistic view of the customer journey.
