By leveraging behavioural intelligence and targeted time-axis campaigns, Pizza Hut attains a sales growth of 5 per cent and 12X ROI from customer engagement

SAN FRANCISCO, UNITED STATES, October 3, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Capillary Technologies, a leading provider of cloud software solutions that help businesses to engage intelligently with customers through mobile, social and in-store channels, today announced that its Multi-Channel Intelligent Customer Engagement™ solutions are helping Pizza Hut improve profitability and increase store sales. Pizza Hut is the world's largest pizza chain with over 12,500 restaurants across 91 countries.

Pizza Hut uses Capillary's Customer IntelligenceTM solution to incrementally capture, structure and leverage large quantities of customer data. Capillary’s unique solution enables the brand to break down its massive customer base into numerous clusters and micro clusters based on expressed characteristics, purchase tendencies and behavioural indicators. Resulting fact-based insights about each customer cluster is fed into Capillary's Lifecycle MarketerTM solution where engagement programmes are designed and deployed across thousands of targeted consumer engagement workflows using campaign automation. The combination of solutions allows for seamless communication with Pizza Hut’s customers across all channels – in-stores, via tele-ordering and through Pizza Hut's online portal, ensuring effective engagement no matter which channels customers choose.

Juliana Lim, Senior Marketing Director for Pizza Hut says, “We now run targeted campaigns built with intelligence around customers' preferred product categories, typical purchase times and channels of choice. Analytics-driven offers lead to more effective responses amongst both loyal as well as new users and have generated higher sales returns for us. We also leverage on Capillary’s automated Lifecycle Marketer programme to preemptively engage every customer to prompt future purchases and retain their loyalty. With better knowledge on our customers, we are able to do a better job on cross-selling and up-selling to customers, increasing returns per loyal customer.”

Capillary’s Lifecycle Marketer has created 6,000+ customer behavioral groups for Pizza Hut, empowering the brand to predict future purchases and execute campaigns at preferred times via customers’ preferred engagement channels (direct mail, email, text message and more), yielding incremental sales growth across its restaurants and delivery business. As model complexity has evolved over the past year, Pizza Hut has witnessed successive increases in campaign performance, sales and overall customer experience with the brand.

“Through Capillary’s analytic capabilities, we can now identify our customers’ responsiveness to different product segments and their repeat purchase tendencies enabling us to better design our customer engagement and product-launch campaigns, driving incremental sales and better marketing ROI for our business,” added Lim.

In comparison to Pizza Hut’s former bulk promotions, automated lifecycle marketing with personalization has yielded:

• A 200% jump in average campaign hit rates across customer segments,
• A 38% improvement in Pizza Hut’s customer retention rate,
• A 9% increase in customer visit/purchase frequency in just seven months, and
• Up to 6% extra sales generated every month since the program was started.
