(upbeat music)

0:02

- Welcome back to our next session

0:07

with Lindsey Kalinski from O'Kendall.

0:09

Lindsey, how are you doing today?

0:11

- I'm great.

0:11

Thanks for having me.

0:12

I'm super excited to be here today.

0:14

- Cool. We're excited as well too.

0:15

So let's just go right into it.

0:17

Maybe before talking a little bit about O'Kendall,

0:19

just give us a little background about yourself.

0:21

So we have some bases of where you've been through.

0:24

- Yes.

0:25

So I am the director of marketing at O'Kendall right now.

0:30

And I've been in the commerce

0:31

for about five and a half years now.

0:34

And I've done everything from customer success,

0:37

working with $10 million brands and above,

0:42

and then shifted to marketing.

0:43

So one of the things that I love to say

0:46

is just like building that story for a brand

0:49

and helping kind of connect the dots across,

0:52

your whole tech stack and what you can do

0:53

and how you can emulate that to a customer.

0:56

- So as a reminder for the audience,

0:58

this is about customer data throughout the customer journey

1:01

and harnessing that data.

1:02

And so I thought this was the perfect fit

1:04

to bring in O'Kendall as well as Lindsey.

1:06

So before we again, get really into the weeks here, O'Kendall,

1:11

we were just talking about before.

1:12

I've heard of O'Kendall now for the last few years.

1:15

Again, I think, and I know that O'Kendall

1:18

is a nice up and coming B2B tech brand.

1:21

I think I think I saw around 8,000, 9,000 Shopify brand.

1:25

- Yeah, we're getting close to 9,000 now.

1:27

- Okay, that's awesome, congratulations.

1:30

So go ahead, give us a little backstory

1:32

of the O'Kendall journey so far

1:35

and then a little bit about what O'Kendall does.

1:37

- Yeah, so we are a customer marketing platform

1:41

primarily known for our review solutions for Shopify brands.

1:46

And within the last two years,

1:47

we've released new products.

1:50

So we have reviews, of course,

1:52

but then we released surveys, referrals and business.

1:55

And we're coming out with loyalty next year.

1:58

So our goal is to create and to mobilize

2:02

what we call super fans,

2:04

which is essentially your best customers.

2:07

How can you create those engaging experiences

2:10

that help drive customer loyalty and engagement with you?

2:14

But then also those experiences

2:16

that are gonna help them talk about your brand

2:19

and become your brand advocate

2:21

and help you acquire new customers at a lower rate

2:24

than all of the traditional advertising methods.

2:26

And we know with the privacy changes,

2:29

everything that's happening right now,

2:30

it's been really hard for brands

2:32

and expensive for brands to acquire new customers.

2:34

So basically, yeah, our goal is to create those super fans

2:37

for you and through all those products and those experiences

2:41

so that you can kind of rely on your self-war

2:43

and your customers and become a customer first company.

2:47

- So just to clarify on that

2:49

and kind of put you on the spot.

2:51

So it's like, I've always heard of the conversation

2:53

of you have customer acquisition versus customer retention,

2:57

who you're focused on, your platform

2:59

and kind of your message to your audience is like,

3:02

you would rather spend a little more time

3:05

and resources on your current customers

3:07

than new acquisitions.

3:08

Is that kind of the mission of O'Kendall a little bit?

3:11

Or do I have that right?

3:13

- Yes, but what I would say is it's less about acquisition

3:16

versus retention and more about using them together

3:20

to lower your acquisition costs.

3:23

So again, it's really about focusing on

3:26

even from the beginning of the journey, right?

3:28

So something like a quiz, like that's something

3:30

even if I'm a new customer, coming to your website,

3:33

engaging with you, being able to understand,

3:36

right away your preferences and what you want.

3:39

That's gonna start that long-term retention journey

3:42

and then it's how do I turn you

3:43

into that acquisition channel for me.

3:45

So it's really not a either or,

3:48

it's just a matter of using the resources

3:51

and sorry, not even the resource,

3:53

your customers as your marketing channel

3:55

and being able to keep going.

3:57

- I like that, that's a great response

3:58

'cause I've always heard one or the other.

4:00

I haven't heard the response of how do you do one.

4:02

I mean, it's a loop, right?

4:04

You're using that. - Exactly, it's a loop.

4:04

- Customers to build new customers

4:06

and then coming back to retain customers.

4:08

- Exactly. - Okay.

4:10

Okay, so let's talk about, actually,

4:12

you brought up quizzes.

4:14

So for some of the merchants and audience listening right now,

4:19

when they hear quizzes, I would be like,

4:22

what do you mean by that?

4:23

I just throw a quiz up on our website.

4:25

Like, can you give us a couple examples

4:27

of some of your customers using a Kindle

4:29

of how you can utilize a quiz

4:31

to obviously retain more customers and what that means.

4:34

- Yeah, so, you know, the biggest thing is quizzes

4:37

are an opportunity for you to educate your customers.

4:40

So again, it could be new customers

4:42

that have never been to your site

4:43

or old customers that are looking to buy again,

4:45

but really it helps drive customers to the right product

4:50

and get rid of some of that decision fatigue.

4:53

So again, you can go to a website,

4:55

I've heard about your brand, I've seen all your ads

4:57

and then I get to your site, say, I'm, you know,

4:59

a beauty brand, right?

5:00

And I'm like, well, what shade is right for me

5:04

or what color is great for, you know,

5:06

what foundation do I need for my dry skin

5:08

or something like that?

5:09

So really the idea of a quiz is to help guide the customer

5:12

to the right product for them.

5:13

So you can ask a series of questions,

5:16

it would be something again, just going with the makeup

5:17

example, like what blush shade is right for me.

5:20

And the questions might be like, you know,

5:21

a bunch of images that say like, well, which skin tone

5:25

do you think is yours correctly?

5:26

Like what, again, what type of skin do you have?

5:28

Are you allergic to anything?

5:29

You can get all of this data and ask.

5:31

And then at the end, based on that customer's specific answers,

5:35

you can recommend them, you know, the product.

5:37

And if you want to go further,

5:38

maybe recommend them a routine, right?

5:40

And then the best part about it is doing an ad to cart,

5:42

you know, right there.

5:43

So what we find with quizzes is people who engage with a quiz

5:47

convert much higher.

5:48

We've seen like 17, 20 up to 25% higher conversion rate

5:53

of people who engage with a quiz than people who don't.

5:56

And there's a few other kind of like back end benefits

5:59

to a quiz, you know, that's great for the customer, right?

6:02

Like they got their products, they bought it.

6:04

One, they're less likely to probably return that product,

6:07

right?

6:08

Because they went in and actually answered the questions

6:10

and you guided them to something that was right for them.

6:13

So that's going to, you know, ultimately,

6:15

if we're thinking customer experience,

6:17

this is a new customer, like that's a great way to again,

6:20

start that retention and loyalty early

6:22

by making sure they get the right product for them.

6:25

But on the back end as well,

6:26

you're collecting all that data about them.

6:28

So now I know this customer's skin tone, you know,

6:31

what they're allergic to, all this,

6:33

and I can continue to personalize and engage them

6:36

after that initial purchase.

6:37

Or even if they don't make the initial purchase, right?

6:39

Like I still have their email,

6:40

I still have all this information about them.

6:42

I can make that a personalized experience

6:44

with every communication I have.

6:46

And that could be, you know, something like an upsell.

6:48

I think it's like, kind of current,

6:50

I think is something that like,

6:51

your personalization is custom is really unique.

6:54

Like, you know, again, like how to do your makeup

6:57

for your skin?

6:58

Here's a tutorial because I know you bought this product

7:00

and here's how to make it work.

7:02

So there's so much you can do like just with that data

7:05

that you've got from a quiz to, you know,

7:07

either get that first customer to keep them low,

7:09

but to also continue building that relationship

7:12

later on.

7:13

- I just want to say that as a consumer right now,

7:16

when I've seen those quizzes,

7:19

I still think of that as brand new experiences

7:21

because like, I think you're used to getting on a site

7:24

and you go right into the shopping of it.

7:26

And to see the pop up, to see actually,

7:28

I know plenty of brands now that have like a link

7:33

on the top of their navigation now for that quiz.

7:36

It's something still new that like actually

7:38

is really enticing.

7:39

Would you agree with that?

7:41

- Oh, absolutely.

7:41

Like I said, I mean, the ROI on it is incredible

7:44

just because again, you're already engaging them

7:47

from the start, like you're taking some of that

7:49

all that decision fatigue and all that time

7:51

that they need to take of like looking at your website

7:54

and trying to figure out for themselves and being like,

7:57

okay, this is like what you told me.

7:58

They already did all the work to get to your site.

8:00

So now it's about making sure you're capturing them.

8:04

So yeah, absolutely.

8:05

I think like from both a brand perspective

8:08

and a customer perspective,

8:09

'cause like I said, like customers overwhelmed.

8:11

Like they don't know, there's so much on your PDP.

8:14

Like there's so much going on that if they can give you

8:17

those answers and you know, you are giving them that product,

8:20

like that for them is a great experience as well.

8:24

You know, they didn't have to get their own product

8:26

or search it.

8:27

- And as a marketer, right?

8:30

Like it's always the guessing game of like, okay,

8:32

why did they come to our site?

8:33

And it's like, well, why don't we just ask them?

8:34

And then you ask them in the form of a quiz.

8:36

So I'd like to just go a little deeper in the weeds

8:41

and more of the actual type of data.

8:45

So just for the audience that doesn't understand,

8:49

we are talking about zero-party data, first-party data,

8:53

third-party data, which is that,

8:55

and then can you give us a couple examples of each one?

8:58

So we have that education.

9:00

- Yeah, so zero-party data is data

9:03

that the customers voluntarily giving you.

9:06

So that's, you know, me as customer on your website,

9:08

again, when I'm answering a question,

9:11

I'm basically giving you all of that information about me.

9:13

So when you say, again, what's your skin type,

9:16

which picture resonates with you now,

9:18

I basically give a new permission.

9:20

I told you that data.

9:22

First party, again, is, you know,

9:23

data that you get about a customer through someone else.

9:26

And then it's kind of third is through an outsource,

9:29

you know, so it gets further and further away

9:32

from what the customer is actually giving you about themselves.

9:36

And the beauty about zero-party data is, you know,

9:38

it's kind of wider than, you know,

9:41

some of the other sources

9:42

'cause you're getting it right from them.

9:43

So you can get, you know, your face to demographic,

9:46

but again, maybe you can get that from someone else.

9:48

Like maybe you don't need that, you know,

9:50

privacy changes you might not be able to have that access

9:53

as easily as you do, but you can do things like preferences,

9:57

behaviors, you know, all these things.

9:59

One of our brands born primitive,

10:01

they're an athleisure brand.

10:03

And this actually isn't on the quiz side.

10:05

This is just kind of on the zero-party data side

10:07

'cause you can also collect them for reviews

10:09

and I can get to that a little bit later.

10:11

But they, you know, when you're using their yoga pants

10:14

or not yoga pants or, you know,

10:16

debris pants or workout pants,

10:18

they actually ask you like,

10:20

what workouts are you doing in these pants?

10:23

And then you can kind of find out like,

10:24

oh, I know that they like to do yoga now

10:26

or they like to run, they like to do all these things.

10:29

That's data that you're not really gonna get

10:31

without asking the customer.

10:33

And again, it's on a one-to-one basis.

10:35

So now I know like this specific customer likes X, Y, Z

10:39

versus again, if you were to aggregate that,

10:41

you might find like, oh, I bought this list of users

10:44

who are in this group that I'm gonna assume

10:46

they like running, but you're running it out directly

10:49

from the customer, what they like.

10:52

And I think again, there's a lot more trustworthy ways

10:55

to get that data from the customer

10:57

and they don't feel weird or cautious about it.

11:01

- Well, I was gonna ask you too about like,

11:03

even just if I'll throw out the word, the customer journey,

11:07

like there's probably a recommendation from Okendo

11:09

of what are the types of questions you asked someone

11:11

that just first lands on your website.

11:13

So the types of questions you're landing

11:15

for the fourth or fifth time

11:17

that someone lands on the website, is that correct?

11:19

- Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing is again,

11:21

it depends what experience you're using to talk that data.

11:23

So I talked a little bit about quizzes.

11:26

On the review side, you should go with the

11:28

become a customer activity.

11:29

So when you leave your review, you can ask,

11:32

you know, the questions and the beauty about a customer

11:34

attribute on a review and going back to that

11:36

for an informative example.

11:37

Like what type of yoga, how tall are you,

11:39

like all this information?

11:40

Because it's a review, that customer that's now leaving

11:44

the review probably looked at the attributes of customers

11:48

when they were purchasing the product.

11:50

So when you're, you know, asking them then to leave

11:52

the review and you're asking them the questions

11:54

about what you're height, what do you do all this?

11:56

They're not confused by it, right?

11:58

Because they saw the experience, they saw the data,

12:00

they used it to find people like them to see,

12:02

is this the right fit for me?

12:04

Same thing with the quiz, right?

12:05

They're getting something out of it in return.

12:08

Like they know you're using that information

12:11

to give them an output.

12:12

So, you know, they trust that.

12:14

You can also do surveys as well.

12:17

So one thing that we do at Okendo with surveys

12:20

is we do contextual targeting.

12:22

So we can kind of look at like your unified customer

12:25

profile in Okendo.

12:26

And if you already gave me the answer of your height

12:28

in a review, I don't need to ask that question

12:31

in a post purchase survey, right?

12:33

Like I can say I already have this in my opinion,

12:34

but I'm missing this, ask them that.

12:37

And again, with the survey, we also recommend, you know,

12:39

giving an incentive to complete the survey.

12:41

So doing all those things.

12:43

And I think in terms of like where you are in the journey

12:47

and what data to ask, again, it really depends on like

12:50

which experience you're using and why.

12:52

And remembering that the information you're asking

12:55

should be something that you need to know,

12:59

but it also needs to be relevant to the experience.

13:01

So like, you know, I've always used this like wild example.

13:05

I'm sure there's some scientific correlation somewhere

13:08

that's like, whoa, dog people tend to also love yoga.

13:12

And I might be tempted to ask like, well, do you like dogs?

13:16

But if I'm a leisure, like, and you're asking me that

13:19

on a review or on a survey or on a quiz,

13:21

I get like, why are you asking this?

13:23

Like, that seems so contextually irrelevant.

13:27

So again, just make sure it's, again, relevant,

13:31

but also think about like what we need to set our personal eyes

13:35

and to keep it like, like, sense.

13:37

And then of course, you know, the amount you're asking

13:41

at a single time just really depends on the experience.

13:43

If it's a quiz, you can probably get away with a few

13:45

additional questions, don't make it too long

13:47

or you're using conversion, whereas a review,

13:50

three to five max.

13:51

So again, just it varies, but it's just about like thinking

13:55

about each piece of that.

13:56

- That's great.

13:57

- It's relevant there.

13:58

- So then with the brains that you're working with today,

14:01

when they're collecting this data,

14:03

and for giving me, this is my ignorance about O'Kendell,

14:05

do they, are they putting this data and collecting it

14:09

and putting it into the O'Kendell platform?

14:11

Are they then sinking it into other platforms?

14:13

Like what's that experience, liking, kind of,

14:16

how does all of that prove?

14:17

- Yeah, so we have a unified customer profile.

14:20

So you can look at each, you know, customer on a one-to-one

14:22

level and see throughout all the different products,

14:25

again, like what data you've collected,

14:26

everything you've known, purchase history.

14:28

And we do have some integrations that also pull into O'Kendell,

14:32

but generally most of our customers are sinking that data out.

14:35

So we have integrations with Clavio,

14:38

integrations with attentive, working on some others

14:40

so that you can sync that data,

14:43

and especially really anywhere where you're going

14:44

to personalize or send those applications out.

14:48

It's almost like we're kind of that, again, powerhouse

14:50

that's helping you create those experiences

14:53

to like organically collect it,

14:55

and then being able to sync it to the places

14:58

where you're actually engaging

14:59

and communicating one-to-one with your customers.

15:02

- Well, actually, that's what I was gonna like talk to you

15:04

about really quick, because at the end of the day,

15:06

it's about that personalization and it's understanding,

15:09

well, what are all the touch points that we have already?

15:12

Like we brought up Clavio, we have emails going out,

15:14

maybe we have SMS messages going out.

15:17

I'll throw in the customer support angle,

15:19

like the agents that are talking to these customers, right?

15:22

So I assume that's what's like,

15:25

it has to be really important to think about of like,

15:27

it's not just collecting the data,

15:28

but it's making sure that that data is passed

15:31

to the right people when they're talking

15:33

and they're messaging those customers

15:35

that they understand more and more about these customers

15:38

so they can have those conversations, right?

15:40

- Yeah, 100%.

15:41

And I mean, going to like the CX

15:42

and the customer service side,

15:45

having that data as an agent,

15:46

and again, this is like,

15:48

if you're sitting here and someone's complaining,

15:51

like I didn't like this product or say again,

15:53

they left a bad review,

15:54

you can kind of stick to that to your CS team

15:56

and say like, hey, proactively reach out to this customer,

15:59

why did they leave the review?

16:00

Well, now you have the data and you look and you say,

16:03

well, they had curly hair,

16:04

but they brought a shampoo for street hair.

16:06

Like let me be proactive and say,

16:08

hey, I think that was the wrong product for you.

16:10

Let's try something else.

16:12

And having that data or even going back and saying,

16:15

like this person previously left a five-star review,

16:17

why are they unhappy now?

16:18

Like having all of that data about the customers

16:21

is just going to help your teams,

16:23

like be more proactive and solution-oriented.

16:27

- Right.

16:28

- As we can really understand the customer

16:30

in a deeper level and know, okay,

16:32

based on what they're telling me

16:33

and based on what this data that I know about them,

16:36

I think this is a solution that's going to be best.

16:39

And thinking long-term about that customer experience,

16:41

you know, things are going to go wrong.

16:44

You're not always going to have a perfect customer experience,

16:47

but if you're able to solution it with the degree

16:50

and the way that feels above and beyond

16:52

or more than normal because you have that data,

16:57

you can save that customer

16:58

and then continue to keep them on their journey

17:00

to become your grand advocate, right?

17:02

So it's like, it's important to have that at each touch point

17:05

to make sure like you're also not losing that customer

17:08

in that particular kind of kit.

17:10

- Yeah, I just kind of want to take a second

17:12

just to like clarify something

17:13

because as markers you and I are both,

17:17

I would say if you look back,

17:19

say just even like three, four years ago,

17:22

there's so much focus on the third party data

17:24

you were talking about, right?

17:25

So to understand your customer, your audience,

17:28

you have to go out to other partners

17:30

and then capture data, purchase data,

17:33

and bring that in and say, okay,

17:34

here's a little bit more

17:35

about what I should know about my customer.

17:37

But it's so interesting just like how fast the switch was

17:41

to, nope, like that's not the right way anymore.

17:44

The right way is to go one-to-one

17:46

with your current people that are visiting your website,

17:49

the people that you're interacting with daily,

17:51

to then learn and understand.

17:52

Like, it happened really fast, didn't it?

17:55

- Yeah, I mean, I think the world was forced to,

17:57

I think Apple and Facebook and Google,

18:00

they all changed their privacy.

18:02

I think, and again, going back to the idea

18:04

that when you're asking the customer directly

18:06

with these experiences that benefit them,

18:08

they're not sitting here being like,

18:10

why are you asking for this, right?

18:12

As long as you keep it relevant, they understand they trust it.

18:16

Whereas in the past, you know, you would get all these ads

18:18

and you're like, was my phone listening to me?

18:20

Like, how did you know I did this?

18:22

Like, this is weird.

18:23

And, you know, it was really consumers

18:25

that demanded more of that privacy in the tech partners,

18:28

you know, answer to them.

18:29

So I think, you know, as brands,

18:32

they were forced to because the means

18:35

that they were getting these data, you know,

18:36

they weren't allowed to get it anymore.

18:38

But I think at the end of the day,

18:39

again, like establishing that one-to-one relationship

18:42

with your customer allows you to not have to rely

18:45

on like those paid ads and those audiences and all that, right?

18:48

You can get it from them in a scalable way.

18:51

- Yeah.

18:52

- And again, you can still, even though it's one-to-one, right?

18:56

Like, you can still group your customers

18:58

because you have these all set up as like fields and properties,

19:02

you know, on the profiles as you sync it,

19:05

creating audience segments, right?

19:06

Like, I can now create an audience segment

19:07

that I know they all follow in this group

19:09

because they told me and send a similar message.

19:12

So it's still really scalable.

19:14

But again, it's just, I think the benefit here

19:17

is just going back to that idea of

19:19

by building that relationship with your customers,

19:21

getting them to be your best acquisition channel,

19:25

you can scale back on a lot of those other like

19:27

expensive paid methods.

19:29

I think at the end, that switch,

19:32

it's taken a lot to get here, but if brands do it right,

19:35

they're actually gonna be in a better place

19:36

to grow and succeed if they become more customer-led.

19:39

- Now, do you talk to brands that are trying to decipher,

19:44

like, here, let me take a step back.

19:48

I can see that someone kind of is like,

19:50

this is almost friction in the process.

19:53

Like, we need people just to go right to the shopping experience

19:56

and start browsing.

19:58

It's like, if you were to enter a physical retail store

20:01

and someone's right there as you walk in and say,

20:03

"Hold on, let me ask you a few questions about yourself."

20:06

And like, no, no, just let them browse.

20:09

Do you feel that?

20:10

Like, do some brands say, like, okay,

20:12

I think this is almost a blocker,

20:13

or does that not even come up at all

20:16

if you have that issue?

20:17

- I haven't heard it that much

20:18

because I think the biggest thing too is like,

20:21

you don't have to take the quiz.

20:22

I mean, there are some brands where like,

20:25

there's been a few--

20:26

- Required on.

20:27

- They're very specific that are kind of like,

20:29

we do a custom formula, think about a pros.

20:32

They're not no kind of customer, but right?

20:33

Like, they do a custom formula.

20:34

You have to do this like 100 question,

20:37

quiz with a fake and careless technology, right?

20:39

This is more of like three to 10 questions

20:42

to get you to that right product.

20:44

We recommend marketing it on your homepage.

20:47

Again, it's--

20:48

- Yep.

20:48

- Customers like it, but you don't have to.

20:50

So again, it's the same thing as a store experience, right?

20:52

Some people actually like that,

20:54

like, store associate coming to them being like,

20:56

"Can I help you?"

20:57

Like, let me walk together.

20:58

Some people just wanna do it on your own

21:00

and you give them that answer, right?

21:02

And again, that's why having multiple experiences

21:05

and multiple touch points and multiple attempts

21:07

to collect this data is the best way to go.

21:09

So like, we say at O'Kendall,

21:11

like all these products separately are great,

21:13

but where they really shine is when you use them all together.

21:16

'Cause you have, again, all those multiple touch points

21:19

are like, "If someone didn't engage here, great,

21:20

try 'em here.

21:21

If you have the data from them,

21:23

you know, from the review,

21:23

don't ask them in the survey, right?

21:25

So like, kind of having it be like small,

21:28

micro engagements where they also, again,

21:31

see the incentives, see the benefits, all of that.

21:34

But I haven't really heard a ton of, you know,

21:36

this isn't something we wanna offer

21:38

because we're scared it's gonna block, you know,

21:40

the fact that parents want us.

21:41

- That means you're doing the right thing.

21:42

And people are receptive to that.

21:44

They know that like, they have to like,

21:46

start educating, understanding, collecting that data.

21:48

So let's quickly kind of move past,

21:52

I would say the collecting of data before.

21:55

And then I know you talked about reviews a little bit.

21:57

Let's go after the purchase, after the customer's purchase,

22:01

now maybe we need for the products to come.

22:03

What should the brand start thinking about

22:06

of how they can utilize a Kendo,

22:08

or just like, what type of data can they collect

22:10

after the process that would help them?

22:12

- Yeah, so two point definitely reviews.

22:15

So like I said, that's the post purchase point where,

22:18

look, and you can just ask those same attributes

22:21

that are relevant to the product.

22:22

You can also tailor it, you know, by SKU.

22:24

So you might not wanna ask the same questions

22:27

if you're like a multi-line beauty brand again,

22:29

you know, for your moisturizer,

22:30

you might wanna ask different attributes

22:32

when they're leaving a review versus like a blush, right?

22:34

Like you can customize that and tailor that.

22:37

Because again, you also wanna think about this

22:39

as the data is great for you,

22:43

but it also reviews our customer facing as well,

22:47

and they help convert other customers.

22:48

So going back to that brand app,

22:50

it's an idea, right?

22:51

So thinking about, well, okay, what information

22:54

do new customers need to see?

22:56

And like what social proof do they need from past customers

22:59

and those experience to be able to find the right product

23:01

for them or make sure they feel confident in their purchase?

23:04

So that's one way.

23:05

And again, just thinking about the product line is important.

23:09

And then surveys.

23:10

So we're kind of also does surveys,

23:13

and we can do them throughout the customer experience

23:14

that are most popular use cases of post purchase survey.

23:19

And again, it really depends on what you're trying to do.

23:21

So we have a few use cases that aren't all necessarily

23:24

zero party data related, but can help, you know, NPS, right?

23:28

We can give that to the successor,

23:30

to the customer support teams.

23:31

How did you hear about us is a really important use case?

23:34

We're gonna be like zero party data about them,

23:36

but we'll help you make sure, you know,

23:38

if you are putting money into paid acquisition channels

23:41

that you know, first thing from them,

23:43

like to validate anything that you're seeing

23:45

in all of your measurement tools.

23:47

But then again, you can ask on those same questions

23:49

that you would ask in a review, can quiz, right?

23:51

So depending on your product,

23:53

you can just ask and with that contextual targeting,

23:55

then I mentioned you could say,

23:56

well, if I already collected NPS,

23:58

then ask them on their second purchase,

23:59

like this set of questions instead.

24:03

So pretty much it's the same data.

24:07

Again, just being strategic about what point in the journey,

24:10

they're at and what's relevant to them there,

24:12

but it's really kind of the same solution.

24:14

You can also do shareable link surveys too.

24:16

So we've seen that, we're like post purchase.

24:18

It's like, hey, we'd love to hear from you.

24:19

We want to improve our product.

24:22

We love feeling like we're giving feedback.

24:24

Like, you know, like I'm making a difference in this brand.

24:27

Like I'm telling them how I feel.

24:28

So that's a really great campaign that you can run

24:31

if you want like a larger set of data as well.

24:35

And giving an incentive for that too.

24:38

So, you know, being able to say like,

24:41

here's 15% off your next purchase.

24:44

If you answer all these questions,

24:45

we really want to hear from you.

24:47

And again, that also encourages them to come back,

24:49

make a second, third, fourth purchase.

24:51

So it really shouldn't be a great campaign.

24:55

In the US, it has to have a whole journey.

24:58

People's preferences change, you know, people, you know,

25:01

if you've been with the brand for a while,

25:03

like people are aging with brands,

25:05

if they're really truly loyal.

25:06

So being able to continuously ask those questions

25:09

is super important too.

25:11

- I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask one question that started,

25:16

as soon as we started talking about serial party data.

25:19

So based on the reviews,

25:22

my thought process is if you have a customer

25:26

and you're sending them away, let's say trust pilot,

25:30

as an example, to say,

25:32

"Hey, can you help me write a review on trust pilot?"

25:35

That, I guess, I mean, it's interesting.

25:37

That's probably not zero party data

25:39

because you don't own that data.

25:41

You own the customer, but not what they say.

25:43

So do you have any recommendations or thoughts or it?

25:46

At least the way to think about it,

25:47

where it's like, for the customer review,

25:49

should you own that review,

25:51

or is it better to push that review out to the third parties

25:55

because that's where people are looking?

25:56

Or like, how should the brand think about that?

25:59

- Yeah, I would go with own review,

26:02

especially if they purchase from your site,

26:05

defend them elsewhere.

26:07

Again, unless you have a significant amount of reviews

26:10

on your site and say like, Amazon is low

26:13

and you wanna pick up that channel,

26:15

maybe that's the point at which you would potentially

26:17

send them there, but generally it's like,

26:19

if they purchase from their site, you should own it.

26:22

With a Panda, we also sync with Walmart.com,

26:26

meta, Instagram, Facebook,

26:27

so that you can actually sync those star ratings

26:30

from a Panda. - Oh, interesting.

26:32

- Other things.

26:33

So we can also do that with Google Shopping as well.

26:36

So if anyone's searching, you can sync those star ratings

26:38

and the reviews so that you can use those reviews

26:41

across other channels.

26:43

- So does it look like they're just creating the review

26:46

on your website and then you can sync that

26:48

to any third party?

26:50

- Yeah, so it's definitely, obviously not every third party

26:53

in the world, but people are at least able to sync it

26:55

and it'll say like, came from a Kendo,

26:57

but you're able to use it.

26:58

So again, it's the same product.

26:59

So like from a customer perspective,

27:01

like they're not gonna look and be like,

27:03

this didn't come from,

27:05

Google didn't ask for this review.

27:06

No, it's reviews from the website that we're just putting

27:10

and syncing in a different place.

27:11

And that's really the power of like amplifying

27:14

those reviews, like taking the little bit,

27:16

even if you like are just starting out

27:18

and you only having a small being able to amplify it

27:20

and use it throughout your marketing activity,

27:24

again, you're just doing less kind of with more,

27:26

sorry, doing more with less

27:28

and being able to do that.

27:30

You know, and other things that we say too

27:32

is like sync your reviews in your email campaigns,

27:34

like abandoned cart email, just put the star rating there

27:37

of the product, like that's gonna get someone back up

27:39

or put the quotes and the snippets from those reviews

27:42

of real customers to remind them like,

27:45

hey, go back, like people love this product.

27:47

But again, again, in your ad copy and like creative

27:51

and some of the best creative we've seen from customers

27:54

that works super well is like 10,000 star reviews.

27:58

And then they swipe through what some of the reviews are

28:00

or they put that in there.

28:01

You know, those are super impactful.

28:03

So being able to put your reviews, you know, owning it

28:07

and then being able to use it

28:07

across the rest of your marketing channels.

28:09

Like I'm gonna-- - Kind of love it.

28:10

- I'd take the advantage of it if you can.

28:13

- And I think the last thing to mention on that is,

28:15

and this is only a tough mind

28:17

'cause I've had this conversation just a couple of days ago,

28:19

which is like celebrating your customers

28:21

and how important that is.

28:23

And you can't celebrate your customers

28:24

without knowing your customers

28:25

and you don't know your customers

28:26

without collecting the data.

28:28

And so I assume that there's probably plenty

28:31

of Ocendo customers that do that with the Ocendo platform.

28:36

Do I have a right of like collecting the data

28:37

and understanding a little bit more

28:38

so they can celebrate them down the way?

28:40

- Yeah, absolutely.

28:41

And I think that's like kind of our idea of super fans, right?

28:43

Like means all your best customers celebrate them,

28:47

make them feel special for saying, you know,

28:51

close to you.

28:51

And that's kind of why we're introducing loyalty next year

28:54

as well because that's really where like, you know,

28:56

you tie it all in together, right?

28:58

Like you're doing all these actions

29:00

or you're talking about us, like we want to reward you

29:02

and want you to like have that special treatment

29:06

and you know, tears and things like that

29:09

for everything you're doing for us.

29:10

And then, you know, social proof, like again,

29:13

I think social proof sells more than a PDP.

29:17

Like people are starting to get

29:19

concerned, you know, when like, not concerned,

29:23

but weary of like, oh, this brand has only five star reviews

29:27

or like this a really high quality image

29:31

on their PDP, great.

29:32

No, what's selling is real images of real people

29:35

using the product, even if like,

29:37

you're TikTok influencers too, like I have gotten sold

29:40

on like someone actually showing me like,

29:42

how to use it, low quality production.

29:44

So I think it's just this idea that people,

29:47

people want to see these things in real life now.

29:50

And they don't like the high quality anymore.

29:52

- That's great.

29:53

So let's end there.

29:54

I think again for the audience,

29:56

it's about collecting data, zero party data,

30:00

that you can own for yourself.

30:01

You so can know to do that and then figure out

30:04

all the different customer touch points

30:06

in order to utilize that data to create super fans.

30:09

Do I got that right?

30:09

- You got that perfect.

30:11

- Oh, perfect.

30:12

Well again, Lindsay, thank you so much for your time.

30:13

It was a pleasure talking with you.

30:15

- Yeah, thanks so much for having me.

30:16

- Got it.

30:17

- You'll collect that data.

30:19

- Thanks everyone.

30:20

- Thank you.
