ISG is providing cutting edge analytics for social profiling and evaluation of customers’ preferences.

GMC provides the technology to manage multilevel, multi-media marketing campaigns to the customers according their preferences and their social profile.

Analytics enables enterprises to increase level of their customer communication from a uni-directional monologue to a multilevel dialogue. 

Why do we need social profiling?

To raise our customer’s emotional belonging and to increase customer’s loyalty.
Customers want to be understood. If we do not understand our customers – they will not engage. Customers who feel that they are understood show increased loyalty, are more likely to make positive referrals and are a great sources for product feedback (R&D).

Why do I need GMC Analytics, I already have analytics?

Demographics are a very coarse-grained way to segment your client base. Also historical transaction leaves the marketers with many blind spots. Historical based demographics is by nature backward looking and tries to predict future behavior, reliable predictive modeling requires sizable data and takes time to distill patterns and there are lagging indicators.
With demographics you will always see only a part of the customer and not necessarily the part you need to see to increase the individuals value to your company. If you know all the food he bought in your store, you will know what he did not buy from you store, however you will not know what products that the customer bought somewhere else.
GMC analytics removes the assumptive part and generates real feedback by asking the customer and engaging the customer in a multichannel, multilevel conversation.
