SAN BRUNO, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/03/13 — (NASDAQ: MKTG), a marketing cloud software and services leader, has added more than 50 retailers to its impressive global client roster, including C.Wonder, Design Within Reach, Kirkland-s and Orchard Brands in the U.S.; Kmart and Webster Holdings in Asia Pacific; and Schuh and internetstores in Europe.
Today-s consumers increasingly expect relevant and personalized messages from their favorite brands. According to the CMO Council, more than half of consumers would consider ending relationships with brands that did not provide highly relevant content and offers(1). Further, recent Responsys research(2) found that nearly half (44 percent) of consumers are less responsive to non-personalized, or “mass-marketing” messages; and, when messages are personalized, more than half of consumers (53 percent) are more likely to purchase from that brand. This research underscores that, in the highly competitive retail industry, smart marketers are embracing technologies and strategies that enable them to individualize marketing messages at massive scale and across digital channels.
“At Orchard Brands, we are committed to delivering world-class service and satisfaction to our customers and that absolutely extends to the digital relationships we build with them,” said Bill Bass, CMO & Co-President of Orchard Brands. “We believe that by focusing on more individualized and customer-centric digital marketing communications, we can further improve the customer experience and boost conversions. Particularly during peak holiday season, it-s strategic marketing partners such as Responsys that enable us to deliver messages that really stand out and resonate with our customers.”
