As a bonus to reinforcing our silos we also got…
• Weak calls to action• Identical messages on each element• Unmemorable communications• Limited success
@lradd | #fuzeyxe
16
Then a shift in our thinking started happening…
OLD THINKING NEW THINKING
Target people Attract people
Plan for campaigns Plan for entire customer relationships
Tell, or talk, the message
Tell and show, or walk, the message
Blast the message repeatedly
Reveal facets of the message
Force or trick Nudge
Detached Contextual
Action only Attitude and action

But how?

Three keys to integrating online
1. Plan a unified experience end-to-end2. Reorientate your organization so web
isn’t a “digital ghetto”3. Improve processes and just start doing it

Examples of persuasion triggers
TRIGGER DESCRIPTION
Commitment We like to believe that our behaviour is consistent with our beliefs.
Compliance Laddering
Once you get a person to do one small thing, it is easier to get them to do the next, and then the next, and then the next…
Extrinsic Reward
I do something and I get something back. When the reward goes away so does the loyalty.
Fear of Loss The human brain is averse to losing value or attributes.
Power of People We Like
We like things we get from people we like.
Social Learning
We learn from watching others, especially if they are like us.
Social Proof We like to observe other people’s behavior to judge what’s normal, and then we copy it as we assume that they are having a positive experience and want to do the same thing.

2. Embed digitally smart people
• We deliberately removed a silo so online wasn’t the exclusive territory of a few
• I insisted all staff have a base understanding of the online channels
• We foster collaboration• We undertook governance and
standards work
@lradd | #fuzeyxe

3. Simplify your process and start
• You likely won’t get it right the first time and that’s ok!
• Iterate and continue to improve • Don’t be too rigid and keep it simple• When in doubt, try something
