therefore staying at The Lodge will not result in ski-out access.Bob Brown LinkedIn Profile

Why Data-Driven Marketing?
Data-Driven Marketing rationale
A data-driven approach allows the VLMD to influence consumer behavior by:
Conduct multi-channel 1-1 relationships with known and new consumers
Segment consumers by unique motivators and behaviors
Identify unique insights to individual audiences
Personalize messaging to unique audience segments
A correctly constructed and executed data-driven approach drives:
Increased customer loyalty leading to increased visitation and incremental revenue
Why build a Data-Driven Marketing Roadmap
●A Data-Driven Marketing Roadmap provides a multi-year view of the capabilities, technology
and processes that need to be developed to evolve personalized and targeted marketing
●The main purpose of a the roadmap is to move away from “point in time” investment decisions
and instead align each investment with the overall evolution
○The roadmap will provide a 3-year view of investments required (time, technology, vendor support)
to evolve data-driven marketing
○Solving for individual pain points in isolation of a consistent direction results in waste
○Prioritization of investment over time is challenging without the full vision in place
●The most critical component of the roadmap is establishing a vision for what targeted and
personalized marketing will look like in 1, 2 and 3 years and to communicate that vision to all
stakeholders
●The roadmap is intended to be a dynamic document that can and should be modified to adapt
to business and market changes
