Engagement or passivity?

In marketing automation processes, customer engagement is measured with engagement index. The marketing engagement index consists of several basic parts. The whole consists of two halves. The first one is responsible for the level of marketing commitment of the customer before signing the contract, making transactions etc.

The second one defines their marketing commitment at the stage of customer retention or exit phase. Automation systems places the customer on one of the halves, measures their marketing involvement considered as activity in several areas like the product selection content of their emails or subsequent behaviour, and then assigns to alternate products based on their reaction. We already know that your consumer is a committed shopper. 

You already know everything about your customer – discover what they don’t know about themselves.
