How To Become A CustomerInfused Company
Copyright © 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved. Accenture, its logo, and High Performance Delivered are trademarks of Accenture.
Companies need to act quickly to compete in
today’s rapidly changing marketplace.
Shopper marketing has changed…
Vision of a “customer-infused” company:
• More choices, places, data
….but goals of companies and
shareholders have not:
• Customers will chose a company more often
for more of their needs and wants, over the
competition…
• Greater share of
households & customers
• Because the company has demonstrated an
improved understanding of how to satisfy
them…
• Greater share of trips &
transactions
• By infusing a knowledge of these needs and
wants, into the day to day marketing,
merchandising and operations of the business…
• Greater share of needs &
requirements
• And by managing it in a way that supports the
company’s core value proposition while
delivering personal relevance to the shopper…
• More, bigger and better
baskets….over time
Copyright © 2011 Accenture All Rights Reserved.
• Resulting in a more valuable customer base,
and delivering more revenue and profit, to the
company’s enterprise

Concept – Customer Value
Customer Value can be defined by one or more measures of recency,
frequency and value. Leading companies find the value of each customer,
segment them into groups, and determine actions that will drive added value.

source of competitive
advantage
Why is this happening?
What actions are needed?
Descriptive Analytics
