purchase; are four times more active in blogs and forums.
Customers referred by other customers have 37% higher
retention rate.
Brand advocates in B2B 33% to 50% more likely to renew.

What to Do Next
Resist the temptation to chase shiny objects ... for the most part.
Prepare for speed, agility and rapid customer response most hyped trends will reach the
plateau in less than five years, erasing competitive advantage.
Investigate quantified self and see it as an emerging category to extend the brand and become a
major touch point in the customer experience.
Focus on hubs: Tight coordination of marketing activities around a common view of the customer.
Tie social to the corporate vision. Show how specific social marketing activities will support it.
This is the path to ROI.
Align loyalty programs with advocacy techniques.
Expand B2B lead management investments to take advantage of B2C tech.
Re-think email. It's mobile, serves as "connected tissue" for other channels and is
more measurable.
