A small seed grows into two-metre-high sunflowers, thousands of seeds turn into many hectares of crops – and good service and intelligent marketing create a strong bond between customers and companies.

This special connection is also important to myAGRAR: the online shop for farmers is operated by AgrarOnline GmbH, which has its headquarters in Ratzeburg, Schleswig-Holstein, and is part of the tradition-steeped ATR Landhandel group. With traditional sales methods, ATR Landhandel has shaped agricultural trade in Northern and Eastern Germany as well as in Denmark and Poland for around 100 years. myAGRAR, however, has also been part of the group since 2017, reaching its target group with future-oriented e-commerce and enabling customers to order not only high-quality seeds, but also animal feed, fertilisers and agricultural technology 24/7. This means that today’s farmers can benefit from the same advantages in their everyday working lives that they have long been used to in their private lives.

In order to further strengthen customer loyalty and increase user-friendliness, myAGRAR wanted to integrate customer success solutions in its system landscape. How were both a suitable CRM system and marketing automation solution selected? And how were they implemented precisely?

The GDPR legally obliges operators of digital platforms to clearly inform users about the storage and use of personal data. In May 2020, a ruling by the German Federal Court of Justice added an additional article to the regulation, stating that users must not only be informed about the use of personal data, but must also actively consent to it.

However, many companies are unsure whether they even comply with the currently applicable regulations and how they can do so. Simply put, online retailers have two options to respond to the legal changes: use a consent management tool or switch to cookie-free methods.

Changing CMS: Complex, But Important. What Do You Need to Consider? [5 Reading Tips]

19. April 202119. April 2021by Paul Schäfer 0

Today, it is no longer enough to simply present products and sell them. Instead, customers expect interesting, high-quality content. Content management systems (CMS) can help with this. They are useful tools to easily and consistently create and manage content (texts, images, videos) for shop pages, social media channels or blogs. These systems can be used to manage content more productively, quickly and flexibly.

The big advantage is that CMS users do not need extensive programming knowledge to be able to put substantial content on homepages. There is a wide range of content management systems, which makes it difficult for many companies to find the right provider. Things get even more difficult when an existing CMS has to be changed. In today’s reading tips of the week, you can find out more about the possible reasons behind this, suitable systems and the best way to proceed.
