THE CHANGE IN MARKETING<br />

Production: Focus on Company<br />

Marketing: Focus on Customer<br />

and Competition<br />

Experience: Focus deeper on<br />

customer experiential value; consumer is<br />

media/channel agnostic; giving up control<br />

Trust: Focus on genuine<br />

customer value—RESET,<br />

Discipline, flexibility<br />

Interactive /Social Marketing<br />

• 2009: 12% <strong>of</strong> advertising/branding spend<br />

Social/Interactive Marketing<br />

1996<br />

• Metaphor: Flock <strong>of</strong><br />

birds flying<br />

• Don’t know who is<br />

leading or where they<br />

are going!<br />

What is an Experience<br />

• Experiences are processes that occur as a<br />

result <strong>of</strong> encountering, undergoing or living<br />

through situations.<br />

• Triggered stimulations to the senses, heart<br />

and mind.<br />

• <strong>The</strong>y connect the company and the brand to<br />

the customer’s lifestyle and place individual<br />

customer actions and purchase occasions in<br />

a broader social context.<br />

Connecting Experience to the <strong>Brand</strong><br />

• Experiential <strong>Brand</strong> Positioning<br />

What does the brand stand for<br />

Should be a multisensory strategy<br />

Should be different in some real and valuable<br />

way from all competitors<br />

• Experiential <strong>Brand</strong> Value Promise<br />

Describes what customers gets in experiential<br />

terms<br />

• Sense Feel Think Act Relate<br />

• Embrace all channels (experientially)<br />

Bloomingdale’s Strength: A Powerful, Recognizable <strong>Brand</strong> Identity<br />

Our brand identity matches nearly perfectly with a customer who says they “want to look the age<br />

they feel, not the age they are.” Our customers have a palpable, committed relationship with our<br />

brand; they want to shop us more.<br />

Bloomingdale’s Marketing Objective<br />

To engage the customer with relevant and compelling content that builds a stronger relation with<br />

our <strong>Brand</strong> resulting in garnering a greater share <strong>of</strong> her wallet.<br />

Marketing communications must convey<br />

that Bloomingdale’s:<br />

• Understands the customer – their lifestyle, their<br />

tastes, their passions, their needs – and is<br />

authentically integrated in the community in<br />

both words and actions<br />

• Is a destination for discovery – what’s new,<br />

what’s next in fashion and pop culture<br />

• Delivers an exciting/innovative shopping<br />

experience on a consistent basis – expect the<br />

unexpected<br />

Maximizing Media Mix in an Omni-Channel World<br />

Engaging and Inspiring the Customer through New Media Channels<br />

<strong>The</strong> Challenges:<br />

• Communication – Push and/or Pull Her Voice vs. Fashion Authority<br />

• Expanding Her Interaction with Our Advertising – Finding Hand Raisers<br />

• Staying Ahead <strong>of</strong> the Communication Curve While Not Leaving the Customer Behind<br />

Marketing 101 Reminder: Content is Still King!<br />

With the proliferation <strong>of</strong> channels to market messages it is more important than ever to get the<br />

content right.<br />

• Formatting Content to Fit the Medium – What Works in Print Doesn’t Necessarily Translate on<br />

a Smart Phone or Ipad.<br />

• Creative Challenge – We are Fighting for Her Attention and Time – How Do We Break through<br />

the Clutter<br />

• Disrupting Her Media/Shopping Experience with Relevant Content – What is Engaging vs.<br />

Annoying<br />

Testing and Learning<br />

Data Allows us to Step Back and Evaluate How New Media and Technology Engage Our<br />

Customer. We Are Currently Experimenting with:<br />

• QR Codes, Video, Texting, Social Engagement, User Generated Content<br />

• Using Digital Content to Help the Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Sell<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bloomingdale’s Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

Our Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essionals continue to play a vital role in our marketing strategy.<br />

Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essionals’ Marketing Role at Bloomingdale’s:<br />

• Marketing’s objective is to drive a greater response. <strong>The</strong> Ultimate “opt in” is when a<br />

customer says “yes” to having a relationship with a Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essional.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essional has the ability to filter content for the customer based on what<br />

they learn throughout the relationship.<br />

• Authentic personal communication between the Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essional and client yield more<br />

value than algorithmic message generation based solely on transaction history.<br />

Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essionals’ Key Marketing Tool, b-connected<br />

Through Bloomingdale’s CRM System (b-connected) at POS our Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essionals have<br />

the ability to:<br />

• Build individual marketing programs for his/her clients based on the customer’s personal<br />

life calendar.<br />

• View all <strong>of</strong> their clients’ transaction history (including purchases on bloomingdales.com)<br />

• Query their client book<br />

• Enter non-transactional information (birthday’s, special occasions, family members, etc)<br />

Where Do We Go From Here<br />

Continue to Evolve Our Omni-Channel Marketing Strategy<br />

• Incorporate New Digital Media Options – Social, Viral, Augmented Reality, RFID, Mobile<br />

• Update Traditional Alternatives – QR Codes, Photo Recognition Applications<br />

• Browse Data both Online and In-Store to Gain Greater Share <strong>of</strong> Wallet<br />

• Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Cultivation <strong>of</strong> Customer Relationships<br />

• Tailor Our Communication Mix by Customer Segment<br />

• Help Our Vendor Partners and Internal Clients Migrate and Invest in New Alternatives<br />

Our Ultimate Goal:<br />

Leverage technology to engage the customer with more relevant content without losing the<br />

personal connection she has with our brand.<br />

Piloting Email<br />

• Email integration with b-connected to allow for personal communication between the<br />

Sales Pr<strong>of</strong>essional and the client with contact history and return on contact within the<br />

CRM System<br />
