With mass marketing no longer applicable in today’s consumer centric market place, understanding the needs and wants of customers becomes more important than ever. Increasingly, credit card companies looking to grow and stabilise a profitable customer base recognise the need to develop a deeper knowledge of both existing clients and prospects. It’s no longer enough to rely on "hindsight," or views provided by traditional analytics that examine what customers did in the past. Today’s challenge for the financial credit card industry is in building "insight," understanding what drives behaviour, and "foresight," predicting likely outcomes.
The key to unlocking that insight is unique to the credit card market; from developing and maintaining more effective information infrastructures, to building a customer-centric business ethos right through to effective data integration and customer analysis and segmentation.
