Mapp, the international provider of insight-led customer experiences, is presenting extensive product updates to its Mapp Cloud marketing platform. This year’s Summer Update encompasses 16 new functionalities and improvements including the integration of Web Push messages. In addition, Mapp Cloud can now be seamlessly integrated with various partner tools such as eCommerce shops, while enabling smarter product recommendations. This allows marketers to design the customer journey even more precisely to achieve marketing goals efficiently.
Steve Warren, CEO of Mapp, comments, “With the latest update to Mapp Cloud, we have reached another significant milestone. Creating insight-led customer experiences is based on the ability to derive true customer insights from the data at hand, and to incorporate these insights into customer communications across all channels. With Web Push, we provide our customers yet with another marketing channel that can be used to optimize conversion rates and to reactivate consumers online. Added to this is the new Analytics API, which allows customers and partners to create their own solutions based on smart data from Mapp Intelligence.”
As a central component of Mapp Cloud, the new Web Push function enables marketers to create and deliver targeted Web Push messages based on the real-time behaviour of visitors without them needing to provide an email address or download an app. As Web Push is one of the most cost-effective marketing channels, the feature also complements cross-channel marketing strategies, such as upselling or to reactivate shopping cart abandonment in a targeted manner.
Furthermore, additional features will be added to Mapp Cloud:
