- Turn Mountains of Big Data into Smart Marketing. Today, we have access to more customer data than ever before, and having a marketing team that is capable of putting the Big Data to good use is the new competitive advantage in multichannel marketing. It is no longer enough to simply look at customer demographics and history profile data. Instead, modern marketers need to be able to track customer psychographic behavior to gain deeper insight into a customer’s personality, values, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles. Then, in order to make sense of all of it, marketers need an effective strategy to collect, analyze, and integrate customer data into their marketing strategies.
- Deploy Next-Generation Analytics. Making sense of all the Big Data can be a daunting task. Today’s adaptive marketing programs use next-generation analytics to extract valuable insights from the mountains of data. By pulling out the key pieces of customer data, marketers can leverage intelligence to segment customers and evaluate their engagement patterns and their total customer lifetime value.
- Act on Analytics with Adaptive Engagement Technologies. How are today’s marketers utilizing psychographic data to generate marketing materials that are as unique as their customers? They are using adaptive engagement technologies. These technologies automatically evaluate and create custom-tailored campaigns for each customer’s unique needs. By using these technologies, the modern marketers can shift their strategies based on customer online activity, purchases, and other trigger events.
