With the influx of brands reaching out to customers every day, Filipinos are expecting personalized and relevant messaging from their preferred brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Moments\u2019 helps businesses create and activate highly effective campaigns that will resonate with customers on a personal level by providing a 360 view of the customer and unifying today\u2019s most popular communications applications onto one platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These include chat apps (Viber, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Line, KakaoTalk, etc), SMS, email, voice, mobile apps, websites, and emerging channels such as rich communication services (RCS). This enables businesses from different sectors, especially in e-commerce, retail, finance, insurance, transportation and logistics, and utilities to connect with their customers on their preferred channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charist Montenegro, Country Manager, Infobip Philippines, notes: \u201cWith the quarantine restrictions requiring businesses with physical stores to either close or reduce their foot traffic, many businesses are now focused on building and strengthening their online platforms and operations. As businesses digitize to navigate the new normal and anticipate the \u2018-Ber\u2019 month holiday preparations, they are met with unfamiliar challenges in effective omnichannel communication such as understanding which messaging will be most relevant with online audiences, what platforms do they use and how they use it, and when is the most strategic time to reach out to them. All these considerations, if overlooked, can yield low conversions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While customer interactions may have become digital, Montenegro emphasized the importance of still adding a human touch to attract and keep customers. \u201cBusinesses need to remember that their customers are human. They respond to being called by their name, having their context and realities understood and acknowledged, and being approached in a way that is respectful, empathetic, and compassionate. Moments can help organizations connect on a deeper and more human level across different platforms, building more meaningful relationships with customers,\u201d she noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key features of Moments include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Easy cross-channel campaign management: <\/strong>Allows marketers to create, orchestrate, and run campaigns across Infobip\u2019s vast portfolio of channels through a single interface. Messaging campaigns can be delivered and scaled at the right time on the customer\u2019s preferred and most relevant channel.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Unified customer data: <\/strong>Creates richer customer profiles by connecting and unifying data from multiple sources, enabling businesses to understand customer needs better and create personalized campaigns.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Smarter audience segmentation: <\/strong>Personalize messaging campaigns at scale by segmenting audiences based on events, tags, behavior, or special occasions.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Dynamic marketing automation: <\/strong>The ability to onboard, activate, and re-engage via multi-step campaign automation, and create an event and behavior-based triggers to respond instantly to customers\u2019 actions.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Powerful analytics: <\/strong>Through event and segment analytics, businesses can optimize customer interactions by setting goals to track conversions and access insight-driven funnel reports. There is also the ability to test which messages and channels get maximum engagement results with A\/B testing.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adrian Benic, VP Products, Infobip, concludes: \u201cThe launch signifies our goal to personalize communications in today\u2019s connected era where most people are consuming through an app or a mobile phone. This starts by creating the moments, engaging in them, and then turning that into a relationship through conversations. We\u2019re here to help marketers embrace the digital transformation required not just for now, but in the future.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Moments\u2019 helps businesses create and activate highly effective campaigns that will resonate with customers on a personal level by providing a 360 view of the customer and unifying today\u2019s most popular communications applications onto one platform. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":39995,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,19],"tags":[5929,7215,96,2727,1656],"class_list":["post-39994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biz-solutions","category-headlines","tag-infobip","tag-moments","tag-technology","tag-technology-adaption","tag-technology-investment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
