WHY IT MATTERS

would lead, on average, to an increased

profit per customer of between 25% and 100%.- The loyalty effect

The average repeat customer spent 67 percent

more in months 31-36 of his or her shopping

relationship than in months zero-to-six.- Bain & Company

A CONSISTENT BRAND NEEDS

CONSISTENCY INTERNALLY

The reality - internally

Information is kept in island-structure

No integration between information systems

External partners are not part of the process

Too much information gets lost
