Oracle: The financial services' do or die - networked consumer relevancy
- Middle East: Monday, November 09 - 2009 at 17:44
The internet has changed the way consumers conduct business. Prior to making a purchase, consumers use social networking groups on the internet to obtain vendor recommendations, product reviews, and tips on good deals. They also use a variety of Web 2.0 technologies and tools — from blogs to chat rooms and social networking sites — to tell others about their experiences with companies. Such prevalent peer-to-peer consumer interaction has changed the way companies can attract new customers and retain existing ones.
Instead, they need to gain an understanding of how consumers use the internet as a purchasing tool, pay attention to how companies are perceived on the internet, and leverage today's social networking tools to find innovative ways to engage the consumer.
This is particularly true for the financial sector, which was hit hardest by the globally depressed economy and has seen customer trust and satisfaction decline to new lows.
To persevere today and be successful tomorrow, the financial sector must embrace the new social networking paradigm to find new ways to go to market.
