Customers are not only sensitive to price; they are also demanding greater personalisation in the offers they receive – they expect far more compelling, targeted promotions that reflect their lifestyle.

Now there is additional pressure to offer far more compelling, targeted promotions with a higher perceived value to consumers. The challenge has become more complex, with the need to avoid errors that affect the bottom line becoming ever more critical.
