The Rise of the Agile Consumer

In his editorial for CRM Magazine, Offerpop CMO Mark Cooper shares how integrating social data will help traditional CRMs to deliver on their original promise – creating individual profiles that provide a comprehensive view into consumers’ evolving interests and behavior.

When you marry real-time interaction data with a critical mass of users, you get a social marketer’s perfect storm. The number of social media users continues to grow at an accelerated rate. Facebook recently topped 1 billion monthly active users, and half of those users are accessing the site primarily from mobile devices—this is where agile consumers spend their time. Social users all over the world are sharing information about their lives and interests, and offering opinions about brands and products. Real-time consumer data has never been so readily accessible and incredibly accurate. Now is the time to start utilizing it.
