Listening to consumers is more important than marketing to them. And with a looming global recession after several years of economic disruption, this has never been more pertinent.&nbsp;That’s why we surveyed over 10,000 global consumers on everything from what channels they like to purchase from, why they’ve left a favored brand and how their spending habits will change due to the rising cost of living.&nbsp;Here’s a taste of what you can expect:<ul><li>When it comes to driving sales, email is the most effective channel, beating banner ads and SMS by 108%</li><li>Brand loyalty is on the rise, with 59% of consumers prepared to pay more to purchase from a preferred brand</li><li>Consumers are incredibly concerned about the current global economic uncertainty, with 60% very pessimistic about the looming recession and economic outlook</li></ul> This webinar will not merely furnish you with the statistics that matter, but also the insight and analysis to build more meaningful relationships between brand and buyer at every stage of the customer lifecycle.

Understanding customers and meeting them where they’re at is everything. For years, we’ve invested in the Consumer Trends Index (CTI) to bring the voice of the customer to life. It is our goal at Marigold to help our customers understand their audience on a deeper level to build those important long-lasting relationships. This annual project, and the webinar and multiple reports created for regions and industries, will help you better align your marketing efforts to what your customers actually want and need.


The 2023 Global Consumer Trends Index Webinar

Zero-party data (ZPD) is the rocket fuel for your relationship marketing efforts. With third-party data rapidly losing value, and potentially useless by the end of 2023, you need to shift to collecting data and insights directly from your addressable audience. This means understanding as many consumers as possible, as well as your existing customers, to deliver personalized experiences that put your products and services in the right light, with the right person at the right moment.&nbsp; In this webinar we’ll explain what relationship marketing means and give an in depth explanation of ZPD. We’ll also share examples of how to develop a meaningful value exchange to collect ZPD, how to store and filter that data while using it in real-time to deliver hyper-personalized experiences that drive real revenue. You’ll see examples from brands large and small, with marketing teams that range from 3 people to 300. No matter your industry or size, we’ll arm you with actionable insights that you could start to implement immediately within your own relationship marketing strategy to drive real results. See exactly how global brands like HGTV and PepsiCo. engage mass audiences as well as how multi-national retailer Smartbox uses ZPD experiences to lift engagement and revenue by 60%. We’ll also showcase how a three-person marketing team at a global sporting goods brand built a database of nearly 1 million consumers using value exchange experiences. <ul><li>How the Marigold Experiences platform provides value</li><li>How to acquire consumers that aren’t yet customers</li><li>How to get as close to your customer as possible using ZPD</li><li>5 examples of ZPD Experiences in action</li><li>Simple personalization tactics that drive real revenue</li><li>How Smartbox increased sales 60% using a zero-party data strategy</li></ul>
