What Is Lifecycle Marketing?

Josh describes lifecycle marketing as effectively optimizing customer relationships to achieve higher customer lifetime value.

It means having a more effective customer acquisition strategy as a result of a robust backend, improving the relationship further during the purchase journey, and elevating the experience in the long term.

For Josh, it’s so much more than just email marketing.

The Three Core Channels

The three main channels for lifecycle marketing are:

  • Email
  • SMS
  • Push marketing, which refers to mobile push, or the app push notifications on your home screen that cost nothing to create and send out. With push marketing, you can send out notifications away from email and SMS, stand out from the crowd, and connect with your audience in a direct and intimate manner when done correctly.

How To Make The Channels Work Together

Josh describes three levels where the three channels come into play:

  • Basic level, where you clone your strategy across the different channels.
  • Level 2, where you stagger your messages, understand each channel’s power and use them accordingly.
  • Level 3, where you incorporate the data you’ve collected over a period of time, store them on a customer data platform, and use the information you have to create unique journeys for different types of customers that can be manipulated across the three different channels.

Two Major Tips

Josh shares 2 key tips:

  • Create a mobile app for your store. He recommends using Tapcart, which allows you to create an app in less than two weeks.
  • On the topic of zero party data, Josh says email is an effective platform for collecting data. He gives an example of how using 4 different CTAs leading to four separate pages can give you data on four segments, and use the data to personalize content based on the responses, and effectively build relationships.

Insider Tips

Crystal ball time – what’s coming up in the next 6-12 months that we should be getting ready for in lifecycle marketing?

Josh mentions two things to watch out for:

  • Conversational SMS: It’s a tool to build relationships because it’s no longer just a one-way conversation on SMS marketing.
  • App clips: App clips allow apps to load and function without having the user download the app. It works like an app preview but it’s fully functional, and already provides value to the user.
