Industry Solutions: Selecting the right partner for data integration and business intelligence initiatives means finding a company that truly understands a company’s business. That’s where Acxiom can help. The global leader in interactive marketing services, Acxiom provides deep consumer insight to connect clients with their customers for profitable business relationships.

Automotive: The world’s leading automakers, distributors, retail groups and financial institutions rely on Acxiom. Consumers today seek products – and messages – geared specifically to them as individuals. They are empowered with unlimited access to vehicle and after-market information, the in-market shopping window is decreasing, and the cost to cut through the clutter is growing. Automotive companies are consistently challenged to find new ways to reach individual consumers with the right offer at the right time. That’s where Acxiom can help. The global leader in interactive marketing services, Acxiom helps clients connect with their customers through deep consumer insight that enables effective and profitable marketing initiatives and business decisions. Our consultative approach spans multiple industries and incorporates decades of experience in consumer data and analytics, information technology, data integration, and consulting solutions for effective marketing across digital, Internet, email, mobile and direct mail channels. We help many of the world’s top companies build customer loyalty by better understanding what customers like, what they want and how to communicate most effectively with them. Automotive Consumer Dynamics: Acxiom Study Reveals Insights for Squeezing Extra Mileage from “Cash for Clunkers” Program: Acxiom’s Automotive Consumer Dynamics study reveals which U.S. consumer segments are most likely attracted to the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) and which are in the best position to cash in on the $3 billion federal first-come, first-serve program. The study also recognizes more than four million U.S. households with vehicles eligible for the program. CARS, commonly referred to as “Cash for Clunkers,” is a short-term government program that helps consumers pay for a new, more fuel-efficient car or truck from participating dealers when they trade in a gas guzzler, which is later crushed or shredded. Key findings include: * Consumers with the highest index of clunkers prefer minivans and pickups. * Two consumer groups that have the next highest index score for clunkers show no particular vehicle propensities, leaving a wide-open field for marketing. * One large group of consumers with potential trade-ins has a strong preference for Korean-made vehicles. * Thousands of consumers who “come late to the party” can still be good prospects for new car sales after the federal money is depleted. * Least inclined to act are the wealthiest, because most of their vehicles don’t qualify, and the poorest, who can’t afford a new vehicle. Credit Card: Growing and maintaining a profitable customer base in today’s credit card market is a daunting challenge for any card issuer. The practice of mass targeting with direct mail offers failed long ago to be a viable success strategy. To compound the challenges, response rates for targeted credit card offers typically falls far short of one percent. Channels used to reach specific consumers continue to expand from email, to targeted display on-line, to mobile, to addressable cable TV advertising – greatly increasing the competition for the consumer’s attention. It is natural then to assume that the complexity of marketing solutions required to compete and win will also dramatically increase. But is that the case? Acxiom understands the challenges marketers face and simplifies solving them. Through analytics, Acxiom transforms disaggregated information into consumer insight. This allows our clients to offer prospects or customers the right product, at the right time, through the right channel. Consumer contact is enabled by Acxiom’s market-leading traditional and digital solutions, often in real time. Acxiom is the clear market leader, supporting 12 of the top 15 credit card issuers in the United States. This experience allows us to offer our clients unique insights into best practices and a sound platform from which to provide thought leadership on market trends and pressures. Ultimately, Acxiom consults with our credit card clients to optimize marketing spend and achieve measurable, improved business results. Credit Card Resources : In the credit card industry, companies need to recognize and respond to every customer quickly and effectively. Acxiom provides the solutions that drive growth, loyalty and satisfaction by delivering a single view of customers – all with real-time recognition. Acxiom provides the tools companies need for service and marketing success. Featured Resources: Cultivate a Consumer-Centric Approach with ConnectionPoint-X: With ConnectionPoint-X, Acxiom helps clients move away from mass marketing to a targeted consumer-centric approach. Overcoming the Multi-Media Challenge with Relevant Communications: Relevance-X product leader Trey Barrett discusses the importance of accurate customer information in delivering relevant messaging across all media. Credit Card Solutions: Credit cards are a major profit center for every company in the financial services industry. As a result, this area has been characterized by extremely heavy marketing in recent years. Conventional direct mail campaigns are now producing minimal results, so companies need something more — a genuine competitive edge — if they are to have any hope of finding and attracting meaningful numbers of new, qualified credit card customers. Acxiom can give companies this edge. We have significant experience gathering and analyzing consumer data and then converting the analyses into marketing insights that companies can use to improve the success of their campaigns. * Find qualified prospects – Our new InfoBase-X® now has triple the number of data sources and available elements, bringing clients the best, most comprehensive consumer marketing data available in the market today. Because of its breadth and depth and our expertise, you can find good prospects who may have been overlooked or unsold, while also eliminating marginal ones. * Make the right offers to the right people – This is critical in a highly competitive environment. People in different stages of life have different needs and your offers need to reflect this. Along with InfoBase-X data, you can use our PersonicX® segmentation system to make sure the correct message goes to the right household – it is that specific. * Know your customers – Your customer service representatives need key information about their callers within seconds to help them close the sale. For example, Acxiom can help your reps offer additional incentives that have been pre-approved for specific market segments. This capability combines Acxiom’s customer data integration capability with our AbiliTec® linking technology. * Keep your customers longer – When customers contact your company, make sure they are recognized in a personalized way. Our data integration technology gets their information to all your customer contact points. With their data available, it’s much easier to provide faster and more accurate personal service – something all customers want. From creating strategies and developing tools to increase the speed and accuracy of your decisions, to actual campaign management, we can provide the experience and proven services to make a significant and profitable improvement in your next credit card marketing campaign. Acxiom ConnectionPoint-X: Making the right offer to a customer at the right time can greatly improve the odds the offer will be accepted. But how can financial services companies arm their point-of-sale representatives with the information they need to quickly make the right offer? With Acxiom ConnectionPoint-X, credit card issuers can simulate the feel of the “hometown corner store” where customers are recognized and treated as an individual, regardless of the touch point they use. ConnectionPoint-X maximizes the value of customer interactions, providing an interactive foundation and dramatically improving the probability that a real-time offer will be accepted at the point of contact. Being prepared to provide customers with offers that reflect their life stage or relationship with a company is crucial. ConnectionPoint-X combines our credit card clients’ best customer data with InfoBase-X®, Acxiom’s industry-leading demographic and lifestyle data, for the most complete customer view possible. A key technological piece of the solution is AbiliTec®, Acxiom’s linking technology that provides recognition far better than traditional string matching. Customer interaction may include either selecting and prioritizing pre-defined credit card offers or using Acxiom data and customized data to create unique in-house offers. And ConnectionPoint-X can be tailored to address a company’s unique needs.

Insurance Consumer Dynamics: Insights on Consumer Behavior Regarding Auto Insurance – Reach The Customers You Want and Need Latest study reveals who’s cutting corners and who’s not when shopping for auto insurance: As the auto industry navigates through the current challenging economic environment, consumers are proving instrumental in driving change, creating the basis for a new dynamic for success.

The consumer-segmentation approach and analyses contained in the study offers a method for reaching the customer you want and need. Key research findings reveal: * Captive and direct insurers can more accurately target specific groups of consumers who are less active in the marketplace, yet open to change * Member-based firms can deliver timely communications to those consumer households recognized as actively shopping around * Direct insurers can study the characteristics of consumers who prefer the agent model and target them with appropriate offers, emphasizing reliability and service Investments: The success of investment services firms is tied directly to the ability to retain and grow client relationships.
