OCTOBER 2021 RELEASE
Unlock customer-driven value
Customer-centric businesses are 60% more profitable than businesses that don’t put their customer first. Convert data into revenue with our final product release of the year.
Putting your customer first is crucial
Whether you’re reacting to iOS 15 changes or chiseling away at your data siloes, we’re here to help
Put your customer first, front and center
Single Customer View
Dotdigital now gives you a holistic view of every one of your customers, you can see your customer’s story at a glance, break down data siloes, and focus on the voice of the customer.
Own the narrative
Dotdigital’s SCV shows you real-time engagement and sales data, a contact’s subscriber status, their preferences, and even which programs they are enrolled into. SCV lets you own the narrative and uncover profitable customer insights.
New design
Our customer’s experience features high up on our agenda too. We’ve updated the look and feel of our platform, you’ll see a different color palette (now AA accessible!) and less white space. When you’re looking at your SCV, or diving into some dashboards, you’ll be able to take it all in at a glance – minus the scroll. Oh, and did we mention new dark mode?
New support channels
If you’re an existing customer, you’ve probably interacted with our stellar Customer Support and Service team. We’re adding WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to our support channels – no matter what part of the world you’re in, the time of day it is, or what device you’re on, you can get in touch on your terms.
Bots, opens, and iOS 15
Out with opens?
As an engagement metric, opens have been under fire for a while. Discrepancies in how different clients record an open, preview modes, and opens that are instantly deleted all contribute to the metric being unreliable.
iOS15 and Mail Privacy Protection
Apple’s iOS 15 and Mail Privacy Protection update means consumers can make it harder for their opens to be tracked. Depending on how many customers use an iOS device, you may start seeing a dent in some of your reporting. We’re not going to let you ride this out alone.
We recommend checking the % of opens you get on Apple Mail, to ascertain the impact to your engagement reporting. Last year we introduced NHI (non-human interaction) filtering to prevent bot activity from skewing your reports, now we’re introducing a toolkit to help you mitigate the effects of iOS 15 too.
Private preview
Our customers can opt-in to a toolkit to help reduce your reliance on opens. Amongst other changes, split-tests will default to using clicks, not opens, and predictive models such as Send Time Optimization and eRFM will take opens out of the equation.
