Enhancing Nescafé Dolce Gusto's customer engagement through capturing data.

Background:

Nescafé Dolce Gusto is a leading provider of user-friendly pod and coffee machine systems. The company's mission is not only to sell coffee machines but also to encourage new customers to enjoy their coffee pods on a regular basis. To achieve this objective, Nescafé Dolce Gusto partnered with Payceed, utilizing the cashback management system provided by Dataceed. Customers are invited to provide evidence of their purchase by filling out a form on the Nescafé Dolce Gusto website. While adhering to GDPR regulations, this operation aims to collect personal details, purchase information, and analytics data, such as the conversion channel and user location.

Challenges:

  1. Data Privacy and GDPR Compliance: Ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations in all data collection and processing activities is paramount for protecting customer privacy.

  2. Data Accuracy: Gathering accurate and reliable data regarding customer purchases, preferences, and behaviors is essential for making informed business decisions.

  3. Customer Engagement: Encouraging customers to participate in the cashback program by providing their purchase information requires effective communication strategies.

  4. Data Integration: Combining personal details, purchase information, and analytics data to gain valuable insights into customer behavior and preferences.

  5. Inter-agency Communication of Goals and Insights: Actively engaging with the local media agency to share key insights, including form completion rates, purchased items, and overall customer behavior.

Approach:

  1. GDPR Compliance: Nescafé Dolce Gusto must establish strict data collection and handling practices to comply with GDPR. This includes obtaining informed consent for data collection and implementing robust security measures.

  2. User-Friendly Form Design: The online form for customers to submit their purchase evidence should be user-friendly and easy to navigate, encouraging more customers to participate.

  3. Data Validation: Implement data validation processes to ensure the accuracy and completeness of customer information.

  4. Data Integration: In line with Nestlé's rules and regulations, input the collected data into a dedicated, secure server reserved exclusively for this client, allowing for a safe combination with other customer insights and analytics.

  5. Analyzing Customer Behavior: Utilize AI and machine learning algorithms to delve into customer behavior, preferences, and patterns based on the collected data. This covers channels of conversion (e.g., online ads, social media), user location, and purchase history.

Expected Outcomes:

Improved customer engagement and participation in the cashback program.

Enhanced understanding of customer behavior and preferences, enabling Nescafé Dolce Gusto to tailor its product offerings and marketing strategies.
