- Use Data to Establish Capex Priorities
The best strategy for maintaining a strong
customer experience despite budget cuts is ensuring the cuts don't affect the most
important aspects of the capex. This is harder to do than say because it
requires having clear data to prove which areas of the website and other
marketing campaigns most directly influence the experience customers have.

marketing drives the highest amount of customer loyalty (as measured by site
engagement, repeat sales, referrals, etc.), then email marketing should be the
least affected by budget cuts. You can get , likely need to get more granular
as you cut the budgets.

customer matrix you choose?
Focus on Expense
Reduction
· Focus on the expense-reducing
(rather than revenue enhancing)
·
Conventional wisdom
suggests an enhanced Capex comes at greater expense, but that’s not
always the case, The fact is, a
better experience and lower costs can actually go hand-in-hand.
·
Sub-par customer
interactions invariably trigger additional customer contacts that are simply
unnecessary (e.g., follow-up calls from customers who didn’t receive a timely
call back, new calls from customers who can’t understand a bill or proposal they
received).
·
Focusing your initiatives to more effectively bring in new
customers and remove needless points of sales friction are important strategies
for marketing teams to ensure budget cuts have minimal effect on sales
performance.
·
Customers don’t like
to waste time being bounced around between channels, or being asked to perform
inconvenient tasks like print, scan or visit physical branches. These poor
customer journeys cause customers to lose interest and drop out of sales
funnels, ultimately resulting in lost sales.
·
By adopting solutions
that remove unnecessary touchpoints and create a streamlined on-boarding
experience for the customer, companies move new business through the pipeline
quickly, and in turn, see a steadier revenue stream.
Studies suggest that at most companies, as many
as a third of all customer contacts are unnecessary — generated only because
the customer had a failed or unfulfilling prior interaction, according to
Picoult. Organizations with large customer bases can have hundreds of thousands
of these unneeded transactions. If marketing can eliminate this expense, they
may convince the CFO to restore the budget for selected capex improvement
activities.
