2. e-commerce provider increases customer loyalty through data-supported segmentation
A medium-sized e-commerce company was struggling to increase customer loyalty. It lacked detailed insight into customers' purchasing behavior and preferences. With Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, the company was able to consolidate its scattered customer data stored in different systems and create comprehensive segments based on customer behavior.
Solution :
Using Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, the company segmented its customers into different groups based on purchasing behavior, frequency of website visits, and interaction with marketing campaigns. Each customer group received specific incentives—from discounts for new customers to exclusive offers for returning buyers.
Results:
- Increase in the repurchase rate.
- Reduction of the churn rate (customer churn).
- Loyalty programs were more targeted and achieved higher participation rates.
3. financial services provider improves cross-selling through integrated customer data analysis
A large financial services provider wanted to make better use of its customer base to identify cross-selling opportunities. However, as customers use different products such as bank accounts, credit cards and insurance, the data was fragmented across different systems. This made it difficult to gain a comprehensive picture of customer needs and preferences.
Solution :
By implementing Dynamics 365 Customer Insights , the financial services provider was able to integrate and analyze all customer data in a single system. Cross-selling opportunities were automatically identified, for example which credit card customers would potentially be interested in insurance based on their spending behavior.
Results:
- Sales growth through successful cross-selling.
- Improved customer loyalty, as customers received more personalized and relevant offers.
- Increasing customer lifetime value through targeted product recommendations.
4. healthcare provider optimizes patient loyalty and service quality
Dynamics 365 Customer Insights Healthcare Case Studies: A healthcare provider operating multiple clinics aimed to increase patient retention and satisfaction. Many patients were not returning for follow-up visits, and the organization could not understand exactly why. Using Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, the service provider was able to consolidate and analyze patient data from appointments, treatment logs and patient satisfaction surveys.
Solution :
The comprehensive patient data enabled the healthcare provider to identify patterns in patient behavior. It became apparent that many patients were not returning due to long wait times and inadequate follow-up care. A follow-up program was then developed that provided personalized reminders and recommendations for patients.
Results:
- Return rate of patients for follow-up appointments increased.
- Patient satisfaction has improved, as demonstrated by regular surveys.
- The provider was able to respond specifically to individual needs, which significantly increased customer loyalty.
5th travel company increases customer engagement through omnichannel strategy
A large travel company wanted to improve customer engagement across multiple channels, but was struggling to collect consistent data on customer preferences and booking behavior. Using Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, the company integrated data from email campaigns, the website, mobile apps and customer support systems to get a complete picture of customer interactions.
Solution :
By leveraging omnichannel data, the travel company was able to create personalized offers across all channels. For example, customers received relevant email offers for destinations they were interested in based on their browsing behavior on the website, as well as push notifications in the app.
Results:
- Increased sales through personalized travel offers.
- Increase customer engagement across multiple channels.
- Customer satisfaction increased as the offers were more relevant and better tailored to individual preferences.
