Introduction
Adaptiv highlights a pivotal customer success story, demonstrating the power of its INSIGHT Platform combined with strategic marketing collaboration, resulting in a dramatic increase in lead generation and sales opportunities for Clutch.
Background
Clutch, serving six vertical markets including Retail, Hospitality, Grocery, Fuel/Convenience Stores, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Consumer Services, needed a way to identify and engage their Total Addressable Market (TAM) more effectively.
Challenge
Clutch faced the common industry challenge of how to efficiently map out their TAM, target the right buyers, and deliver personalized marketing at scale to drive engagement and growth.
The challenge Clutch faced was multifaceted. They needed to hone in on high-value prospects within their TAM, but their existing methods were falling short. They lacked the advanced analytics and targeted outreach capabilities that could yield deeper engagement with their prospects. Their marketing efforts were not sufficiently personalized or scalable, leading to low conversion rates and an inability to effectively measure campaign impact across diverse market segments.
