New Sailthru Experiences Enables Brands to Capture First- and Zero-Party Data

CM Group announced that Sailthru, the leading personalized marketing automation SaaS solution for retailers, publishers and media, has introduced Sailthru Experiences. This powerful new offering extends the Sailthru platform and allows customers to build and engage audiences through the collection of first- and zero-party data across the entire customer lifecycle. Today’s launch of Sailthru Experiences, which follows the release of SMS this spring, further underscores CM Group’s investment and commitment to delivering best-in-class marketing and engagement solutions that address the challenges marketers in retail, publishing and media face.

Built on capabilities acquired as part of CM Group’s merger with Cheetah Digital earlier this year, Sailthru Experiences helps marketers quickly and easily create and activate interactive experiences – such as polls and quizzes – without involving their IT team. These experiences allow marketers to collect deep, self-reported information on people’s motivations, intentions and interests, and ultimately create tighter, more personal relationships with their customers.

Sailthru Experiences is a real-time, dynamic tool that seamlessly integrates with existing Sailthru solutions like email, SMS and mobile push. Marketers can simply add Sailthru Experiences directly into text and call-to-action buttons in campaigns without any technical training. The data collected flows directly into Sailthru’s User Profiles, where it can be activated in real-time across paid, owned and earned channels.

“In a recent study, we found that 74% of global consumers want brands to recognize them as an individual. This means the future of marketing is relationship-driven, built on creating personalized experiences throughout the entire customer journey,” said Desta Price, Chief Product Officer at CM Group. “Additionally, the eventual demise of cookies, along with increasing legislation addressing nefarious third-party data practices, means brands need to own their customer data outright and that includes obtaining proper consent. Sailthru Experiences easily allows marketers to offer a value exchange to gather both the data and consent that is critical to building one-to-one relationships with consumers at scale.”

Sailthru Experiences helps marketers implement and activate their data-driven relationship marketing strategies across media and retail with little-to-no technical experience. This offering is a true end-to-end solution that provides a single view of the customer while supporting personalized messaging in real-time. That means meeting consumers with relevant content and offers, delivering increased conversion rates and enabling brands to ultimately lift their customer lifetime value.
