Now that IS clever…

Some smart marketing from Transport for London - well targetted information about something that actually matters to me.

I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

So like most Londoners, I give Transport for London a fair bit of stick. And I do like to pick holes in much of the direct marketing I get.

By way of contrast, here is a piece of smart marketing by TfL. I have just got an email, letting my know that my nearest tube line is going to be disrupted by enginering works over three forthcoming weekends.

At first, I wondered how the heck did they know this was my line? Then I realised, it’s probably by tracking the data from my Oystercard (the smart card I swipe at the ticket gates). So they’ve seen I use the Northern Line a bit and they send me some relevant info. And they’ve not plagued with info about the myriad other bits of engineering that aren’t so important.

Cool.

Interesting research from Stanford suggests that exciting brands get more trusted after making mistakes and putting them right whilst more “sincere” brands start with more trust but lose it more easily. Perhaps the sensible interpretation is that second-guessing customers can be a waste of time!
