CHAPTER 6 ACTION POINTS


Introduction

Key findings

To develop an effective relationship building strategy, online tactics cannot be
implemented independently of offline customer relationship strategies.

To build customer loyalty and improve market positioning, CPG manufacturers
must adopt a "glocal" viewpoint to define global technology marketing and
branding strategies.

In order to maximize revenues and build a loyal consumer base among the Web’s
fastest growing consumer segments, CPG manufacturers should leverage
customizable customer-facing technologies.

As wireless devices proliferate and 3G technology becomes a global reality, CPG
manufacturers need to develop content and strategies for targeting and servicing
tomorrow's wireless consumer.

To attain maximum ROI on CRM applications, CPG manufacturers need to form
integrated information-sharing strategies with their retail partners.
