Drivers of Digitalisation

§ Mobile technologies that allow access to information and thus the possibilities to interact or
make decisions at any time and in any place.

§ Social media, which are massively changing the possibilities for interaction within
companies and with their customers and partners as well as the general public.

§ Analytics and Big Data, which enable a company to make informed decisions and develop
data-based business models, if necessary in real time.

§ Cloud computing technologies that ensure highly flexible access to applications and data
at reasonable financial terms.

§ Digital technologies: Technical development that particularly links products with


digitalisation (such as Magic Mirror, smart devices, voice assistants).

§ Finally, the "Internet of Things" (IoT) offers unlimited possibilities for interaction and new
business models.

Big Data, Data Warehouse, Online Market Research

www.renac.de

21
Big Data Definition

§ Data that exceeds the size of classic data storage, processing and analysis on
conventional hardware and is also far more heterogeneous than classic data.
§ Volume: The data stock is extensive and lies in the tera to zettabyte range (megabyte =
106 byte, gigabyte = 109 byte, terabyte = 1012 byte, petabyte = 1015 byte, exabyte =
1018 byte, zettabyte = 1021 byte).

§ Variety: Variety in Big Data refers to the storage of structured, semi-structured and
unstructured multimedia data (text, graphics, images, audio and video).

§ Velocity: The term means speed and requires that data streams can be evaluated and
analysed in real time.

§ Value: Big Data applications should increase the value of the company. Investments in
personnel and technical infrastructure are made where there is a leverage effect or added
value can be generated.

Source: Fasel/Meier 2016, p. 6.


§ Veracity: Since many data are vague or imprecise, specific algorithms must be used to
assess the significance or quality of the results. Extensive data stocks do not per se
guarantee better evaluation quality.
www.renac.de

22
Big Data Examples of Analyses

§ Analyses that take Big Data into account are, for example:
§ Basket analysis

§ Fraud detection

§ Customer churn (forecasting customer change & return management)

§ Path analysis (e.g. in the customer journey)

§ Predictive analysis

§ Sentiment analysis

§ Social networking analysis

§ Data visualization

www.renac.de

23
Data Warehouse

§ According to Bill Inmon, a data warehouse is "a subject-oriented, integrated,


nonvolatile, and time-variant collection of management decisions."

§ Theme orientation
§ Integration of data from different sources
§ Period reference
§ Enables long-term analyses
§ in the meantime also provision (time) of current data

§ Non-volatility
§ permanent collection of data
www.renac.de

§ Historical data is not overwritten, so changes over time can also be


recognised, e.g. in the event of a change of address.

Tracking approaches in Online Marketing

URL § The affiliate's ID is written directly into the HTML code when a surfer visits the website.
tracking § The affiliate's ID thus becomes part of the URL leading to the merchant's website.
§ A secure tracking process is achieved - independent of the user's browser settings.
§ However, commission is only paid if the user takes the commissioned action directly on the merchant website.
§ Subsequent transactions, e.g. after the merchant website has been called up again directly, are no longer recorded by the URL tracking and are
therefore not remunerated.

Cookie § When a visit to the Merchant website is triggered by an affiliate, the affiliate ID is stored in a cookie on the user's computer.
tracking § This cookie is read during a commissioned transaction and can thus be clearly assigned to the affiliate - even if this transaction takes place
later.
§ However, users have the option to delete cookies stored on their computer; if this is done, the affiliate will no longer receive commission.
§ Cookie tracking enables the lifetime remuneration of an affiliate - as long as the cookie is not deleted. However, if the user's attention is drawn
to the offer again by an affiliate after the cookie has been set, the latter will be left empty-handed.

Session § When a page is visited, a session is opened and transactions are registered based on a session ID.
tracking § In a running session, for example, the user ID and relevant transactions are saved.
§ The method works even if cookies are disabled, as session management is done by the web servers.
§ If a transaction to be provoked is carried out after the end of an ongoing session, it can no longer be assigned to an affiliate.

Adapted from Lammert 2015, pp. 46-50.


Data § The affiliate ID from the URL or from a cookie read is recorded with the user ID in the merchant's database.
bank § Subsequent purchases - even over longer periods - can be assigned to the initial affiliate.
§ Database tracking enables lifetime commissioning of an affiliate.
tracking § If the user's attention is drawn to the offer again by another affiliate after the cookie has been set, the latter is left empty-handed.
www.renac.de
Pixel § An image the size of a pixel, which is invisible to the visitor, is stored on the merchant's website and is contained in the HTML code.
tracking § If this transaction tracking code is requested by the operator of the affiliate network, the operator learns that a transaction to be commissioned
has taken place.
§ The assignment to the initial affiliate usually takes place via cookie tracking.
§ Therefore, the link on the affilate website leads to the merchant via the network to enable attribution and readout.

27
Controlling of Online Marketing

§ Online controlling serves the target-oriented use of marketing budgets for online
marketing activities
§ Possibility of user-specific performance measurement using cookie technologies and
advertising networks

Targets and Metrics for Facebook Advertising Campaigns

Target and measured


Explanation
variable
Post The ads are used to increase activity on a Facebook page, such as
increasing comments, recommendations and image and video views.

Like The target and measurement parameter is the number of so-called likes
('Like' votes) for a Facebook page.
Video views The ads are used to distribute video content. The number of video views
is measured here.
Click (website visit) A click in this case measures the redirection to a specific website outside
the social network.
Conversion (website activity) Conversion captures a pre-defined action by a prospect on a web page
outside the social network.
App installation The metric records the successful installation of, for example, mobile
application programmes.

Olbrich/Schultz/Holsing 2015, p. 135.


App use The objective is to increase the interaction with an application. The
access to the application programme serves as a measurand.
Local target group The advertising campaign is used to address people in the geographical
www.renac.de vicinity.
Event participation The promotion of events is measured by the number of participants
generated.
Transaction Interested parties should take advantage of selected Facebook
Commerce offers.

Multi-Channel Management

www.renac.de

58
Multi-Channel Sales

§ The planning and control of several sales channels for the distribution of
a company's range of services is generally summarised under the term
multi-channel management. In many cases this also includes the
information channels for customer communication.

A variety of terms have been introduced for specific development


directions in this context, e.g.
§ Cross-channel: Focus on the integration of sales channels
§ Omni-channel: permeable (change of channel at any time of customer
interaction) use of all sales channels relevant from the customer's
point of view
§ No-line-channel: the customer journey corresponds to a continuous
and borderless shopping experience, especially integration of the
www.renac.de
mobile channel.
