A lot of the books, articles and discourse around product design focuses on the process of design work (the things designers do) and the output of design work (the things designers deliver). We often spend less time thinking and talking about the impact of design work – that is, what does our work truly achieve and change beyond just the artefact that it delivers.

The Key to Successful Marketing Communications. There are a lot of people that do not know the difference between Marketing and Advertising. Many people assume they are the same thing, but they are not. Marketing is deciding what you are going to say; Advertising is saying it. In my corporate life, I worked in Marketing for a long time. One of the things I learned was that Marketing should know the marketplace and understand their customers.

I spoke in Austin last week and while there, I rented a car to visit my youngest in San Antonio.

“Thank you for being my customers,” the clothing store manager said to a group of prospects who seemed to be loitering in his mall store. The uniqueness of his statement was that it was directed at three loud teenagers who seemed to be permanently attached to their phones. Out of earshot of the owner, one young man remarked to his buddies, that they should probably buy something since the owner was being so nice.

It’s simple: engaged users are more likely to stick with your brand. But heightening user engagement to compel renewals year after year isn’t so simple. And if you’re struggling to raise engagement and retention rates through separate initiatives, you may have trouble raising either. User retention is when customers come back to your product after the initial use.

Credit unions’ commitment to serving their members is reflected in their strong growth: these financial institutions now count more than 110 million people as members and hold deposits totaling $1.1 trillion.

Your customer only sees one brand. For them, customer attraction and retention blur together into one ongoing journey. . It’s important to keep that perspective in mind as you help customers progress through different teams—from sales to customer success and back again—and through different phases, such as onboarding, adoption, and renewal. Knowing these different stages can be powerful for monitoring, servicing, and motivating customers, but it all needs to come from a unified, consistent brand

Dina goes online to contact a company she bought cable tv service from. She changed her service package but was still charged her previous package price this month. Annoying.

I should know; I’ve created multiple BI software companies to help customers get key information that was very difficult, if not impossible to do, with normal tools.
