Increasing competition and more demanding customers coupled with today’s financial crisis mean that companies today require a more flexible and accurate CRM approach in order to survive. When economic conditions begin to weaken, companies will usually look for ways to reduce operating costs in an attempt to maximize profits.
While CRM may sound like just another techie buzzword, its in fact fast becoming an important growth area in the corporate world, much as enterprise resource planning (ERP) software was earlier this decade. In fact, CRM may be viewed as an extension of ERP. With the current recession, it has now become apparent that the sellers rule the market in comparison to a few years ago, when Developers & Brokers had the freedom to compete. As a result, the use of CRM is many.
Worldwide customer relationship management (CRM) software revenue is projected to surpass $8.9 billion in 2008, a 14.2 percent increase from preliminary 2007 revenue estimates of $7.8 billion, according to Gartner, Inc. The market is poised for healthy growth through 2012 when revenue is forecast to reach $13.3 billion.

The rapid growth of e-business does not only highlight the importance of CRM—but also emphasizes the need for data analysis – since businesses have to deal with customers through channels they might not necessarily be used to, like web sites or E-mail. Companies with Internet exposure have the challenge of figuring out who their customers are, what sites those customers are coming from, where and what type of advertising is working most effectively and the best way to identify potential cross-selling opportunities.
What we are trying to emphasize here is the need to shift from traditional marketing strategies (not completely of course) and making use of not only the CRM but also Emarketing initiatives such as Search Engine Optimizing, Email Marketing & Website Development. There are two distinct advantages in doing so – reduced marketing costs & increased customer reach.
At Heych, we can help you do just that – build you a website and also ensure that your website is visible to the people looking for your products. Similar to the physical marketplace, building your brand online will not necessarily result in increased business. What is essential, is a website, that is user-friendly and also ranked high up in all the major search engines.
What we don’t do is make false promises. Of course, SEO is not an easy process. We cannot guarantee you top rankings in all the major search engines. We cannot tell you that SEO will double your profits in the next 6 months. All we are saying is our SEO services will assist you in attaining your objectives over a period of time. We are all for a healthy relationship and partnering with us will give you the technological insight in to how to leverage your online business.
Now that we have spent some time discussing the use of Emarketing tools, it would be unfair to end this newsletter without talking about the benefits of Email marketing.
All marketers know that email is a great tool to use to reach customers. However, email marketing has many nuances that must be performed correctly in order to run a successful campaign, and these areas are not always clear to companies that are just getting started with email marketing.
As a leader in email marketing, our team at Heych can help you improve your sales and boost your visibility every day. As such, we have devised a step-by-step guide to help you plan, launch, test, and strengthen your email marketing strategies.
