How Video Is Driving Customer Communications
Marketers have been turning to video for years to overcome the challenges of text communications. Video is more memorable, shareable and engaging — and people love it. It accounts for the vast majority (over 80%) of all consumer internet traffic. But video technology is changing. Previously, brands used video mainly to communicate big messages. Think of splashy branding campaigns or ad spots to raise awareness. Because video was expensive and often hard to produce and update, it rarely found its way into day-to-day customer communications. Not so anymore. Video doesn’t have to be generic for a broad audience. It can be timely, interactive and deeply relevant for current and prospective customers. One of video’s greatest strengths is its ability to convey tone, body language and emotion, making customers feel truly connected to your brand. This makes it a powerful tool for building meaningful relationships and delivering exceptional customer service. By

Video personalization is an incredible tool for customer engagement, letting you deliver tailored, relevant information in a format that’s compelling and easy to digest. It’s no wonder major brands are turning to Personalized Video to capture attention and drive action, especially since you can now develop and launch campaigns quickly, without headaches and at scale. If you’re thinking of implementing video personalization in your next marketing campaign, it’s important to get it right. Here’s a list of 7 major do’s and don’ts to know before you get started. 1. Do Personalize Early When it comes to grabbing attention, timing is everything. Personalization works best when it’s front and center from the start. By showing your customers right away that this video is tailored just for them, you’re immediately setting it apart from all the generic content out there. For instance, including their first name in the first few seconds or
How To Reduce Customer Churn With Personalization
When something is broken in your business, it can be difficult to come together as a team and identify the root of the problem. In the case of customer churn, however, there’s a strong consensus among industry experts who say that your broader customer experience strategy has a profound impact on your retention rate. According to Gartner, CX drives over 66% of customer loyalty, more than price and product combined. That includes everything from onboarding to customer service. It’s whatever makes your experience unique from your competitors. And as you’ll read below, reducing customer churn requires a customer-centric approach, enriched through personalization and a strong CX. While churn is often overlooked, secretly undercutting your bottom line, if you’re here, you know it’s a problem. We’ll dig into causes and solutions below, leave you with a few next steps for churn prevention and, even better, build a roadmap to strengthen customer
Cutting Call Volume for Telecoms: How Dynamic Videos Help
According to an Ericsson survey, it takes smartphone users 4.1 days to successfully complete an interaction with a service provider, on average. And this has a massive impact on satisfaction levels — the number of satisfied customers decreases by nearly 30% after more than 1 day of trying to resolve something. To streamline the customer service experience, telecommunication companies are turning to digital tools. The issue, though, is that generic emails and automated replies lack the empathy needed during this critical touchpoint. To add back a human touch, telecommunication companies can use videos to break down what customers need to know. Better still, make them personalized to every viewer, giving customers relevant answers when and where they need them. It’s called Next Generation Video — and we’ve seen it slash call center volume by over 70%. Curious to see how it works? Keep reading. What Is Next Generation Video? Over
5 Surprising Ways Video Marketing Can Improve Customer Retention
If you’re looking to improve your customer retention rate, video marketing might just be your secret weapon. We’ve talked about it before. Customer engagement positively impacts ROI, with fully engaged customers more likely to stay loyal and spend more money over time. And here’s where video comes: It’s one of the best tools you can use to build and maintain that engagement. People are drawn to video because it’s dynamic, entertaining and easy to digest, making it the perfect medium to engage your audience. Instead of just telling them why they should stick around, you can use video content to give them a reason to. Think about it this way. If you had to pledge your loyalty to a particular friend, wouldn’t you choose the friend that regularly connects with you? The one who shares exciting updates, offers helpful advice and adds value to your life? The same goes for
5 Tips To Create Support Videos for Your Customer Portal
Customer preferences and needs change over time. Among the recent rising consumer trends is the demand for self-service options. A recent report revealed that 81% of consumers want more self-service options — yet, only 15% of them expressed a high level of satisfaction with the tools available to them today.

Safeguarding Patient Data: A Guide To Secure Personalization in Healthcare
In today’s world, healthcare demands a tailored experience. No longer satisfied with a one-size-fits-all approach, patients want every aspect of their healthcare journey — from communications to services — to be aligned with their specific needs and preferences. In response, healthcare organizations have turned to personalization, an approach that, according to McKinsey, can lead to better experiences, higher quality of care and a reduction in avoidable healthcare costs. Yet as health services and records become increasingly digitized, data security has become a major concern for both patients and providers. Patient data is incredibly personal and sensitive, and ensuring its protection is essential for maintaining safety and trust between patients and providers.

5 Reasons Why Your Brand Should Invest in Customer Education
There’s a lot of talk about customer experience these days, and rightfully so. Consumers expect more from brands than ever before, including personalized experiences, brand-relevant content and access to information on demand — all of which requires brands to invest in their customer education strategy. The good news is that many brands are already investing in their customers’ education. But for those that have yet to take the leap into this strategy, here are five reasons why you should. What Is Customer Education? While education and support are similar, they’re not the same. Think about the timing of each approach. Customer support is reactive.

Your customer success team takes the initiative to teach new customers about your company and products before questions arise. This can look like:

Clear Communication in Financial Services: The New Mandate
The FCA is raising the bar for customer care in the financial services landscape. Firms must now adhere to the Consumer Duty: a package of measures that aims to improve customer outcomes with better communication. This new Consumer Duty, recently issued by the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), mandates that information must be easy for customers to see, rather than buried in paragraphs of text. Jargon must be swapped for easy-to-follow language. With clear, transparent communication, customers will be able to make more informed choices and see improved outcomes, especially critical during a time of financial uncertainty for many. It’s a big deal — a “paradigm shift” regulators are calling it. How these rules are put into practice is up to every firm. But one thing is certain: communication must be digital.
