Abstract This study investigates how firms can use personalized non-incentive marketing instruments to encourage the use of particular channels. It thereby specifically explores whether customer characteristics extracted from the firm's database may be used to (1) identify customers’ needs prior to their telephone-center call, (2) predict the likelihood of a customer-initiated contact on certain topics through the offline channel, and (3) steer customers from offline to online channels.
