customer relationship management
Customer relationship management is the alchemy by which companies imprison customers in an eternal prospect list. It monitors purchase histories and pings them at the “perfect moment” with the relentlessness of a telemarketer possessed. The database becomes a false mirror reflecting a customer’s life in data points, and pop-up notifications feel like both affection and a curse. It lures individuals into the cage of the next purchase under the pretense of “trust”, a cybernetic tool for behavioral hypnosis.
