Omni Channel Digital strategy - Personalize Content

When you , as a business, are acquiring digital contacts from multiple channels, there is no way you could serve content that could be relevant to every one.

The best way forward is to personalize the content based on the user profile information.

More information we have regarding a digital contact, more personalized the content can be.

The thumb rules when you have personalized content is as follows:

Make it current and relevant

The content that we have should be personalized and current. For example, if I expect the media to be connected with me and not share some of the recent information online, that becomes tough.

The media expects any information that can be shared with the external world to be available to them - either in terms of press releases or generic press kits.

Make sure that the information is available to them easily when they try to connect with you

Make it sticky for the user

Help the user relate with the content. Organize the content based on what the digital contact would want to do.

For example, if I am a retailer and intend to connect with my customers by offering them recipes, I should allow them to download recipes, share them and interact with the recipe

Interacting with the content - sharing , rating, comments etc - helps the customer relate to the content and helps us serve better content to the user

Get feedback and improve

This is something that all organizations need to do irrespective of whether we want to have a better digital strategy

Collecting feedback - or even listening to digital contacts - gives us better ways of connecting with them

Make it easy for them to provide feedback and show them that you are listening. Show them progress on any feedback that they might have given you

Counterfiet goods and the fledgeling e-commerce market places

India has a nascent and a very active market place. With good interest, the right climate for growth and right product mix, the indian retail marketplace seems to be going places. However, there are some alarming signals that seem to be ignored for growth that have a good chance of being dangerous to all the stakeholders involved. The issue I am talking about is the sale of counterfeit goods in all the indian market places. India has not had a history of strong Intellectual property rights. This time it is getting messier. The Indian marketplace model is very interesting and suits well to a country as diverse as India. The market place model floated by all the major e-railers suits the fact that the seller and the buyer can be connected for serving the needs for every day goods that are not necessarily covered by IP laws. India needs more effective IP laws since it is struggling with some products like traditional indian products that cannot be covered by IP versus modern produc...

Organizational growth and turn over

Organisations need to grow. However, they should not grow for the sake of growth. That would be a virus. Orgs should not grow to survive as well. Orgs should grow with a purpose.

The enterprise agile

Consumer Vs Enterprise Every time there is a consumer use product, we see that the enterprise comes up with a very customized version so that the enterprise does not have to adapt. This is with good reason. Enterprise is an entity that is too complex and having it to change would mean a disruption to the business - something that the stakeholders are not very happy about. For example, take the iPhone and Blackberry. iPhone is a consumer centric product while Blackberry is a very enterprise centric product. However, iPhone introduced major disruptions to the way the enterprise security functions and forced enterprises to be more flexible with the way they allow employees to view email. This increased productivity since employees could view their emails at home or anywhere on the move and respond more quickly. Another example is Microsoft word Vs Google docs. The days when a simple document would have to go through multiple revisions with the whole track changes turn...
