3 Marketing Platforms You Need to Be on to Compete

The digital revolution we have been experiencing the past 25 years has been a fast and furious one. Changes in what we sell, how we sell it, and especially the way we market to customers seems to be an ever-evolving chase to master search engine algorithms and keep up with educated, savvy consumers who have a growing multitude of choices and stated preferences to satisfy. Through all these many fluctuations, some basic marketing principles have emerged all of which surround one focused idea: getting and keeping a customer means ensuring they have a positive, personal, and consistent experience every time they interact with your brand. 

This ideal has brought about a major shift from an once product-dominated economy to the dawn of the platform economy. For proof of this, look no further than the once (and not so long ago) must-haves like Blackberries, HP calculators, music CDs and CD-ROM copies of video gamesthat have now become obsolete in the world of streaming an platforms. The modern eCommerce world becomes more interconnected via the platform economy every day.

Data-Driven Platforms Command Customer Experience

The platform age has never been more evident than in the current focus on brands providing a top-drawer customer experience. Research indicates that to win the business and long-term loyalty of modern consumers, brands must provide not just a great transactional interaction, but one that is personalized to their needs, goals, and preferences and one that is consistent across all brand touchpoints.

To do that right, you need data.

Data-driven platforms like Group FiO’s Insight Marketing Platform provide brands with deep data that empowers them to give customers what they want from today’s eCommerce world. It also provides brands with the analytics and long-term strategy that builds real customer loyalty and true Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).

Not all customer data platforms are built equal, however. Data-driven marketing is they key to winning and keeping customers, but it needs to be the RIGHT data, with the right focus on creating long-term, personal relationships with consumers and ensuring that you have the tools to keep them engaged even with heavy competition for their attention and money.

Here’s a look at 3 areas you need to ensure you’re covering from your customer data platforms.

Zero-Party Data Platform

With Google doing away with third-party cookies, brands need to have a solid strategy in place tocontinue marketing to leads and customers effectively while also respecting consumer privacy.

This is where Zero-Party Data enters the picture.

Zero-party data is about as close to marketing gold as a brand can get. That’s because zero-party data is intel that has been provided by the consumer themselves, self-reported for the purposes of having a more personalized interaction with your brand and so that they receive certain perks in exchange for the information. These perks include special coupons and other offers, exclusive access to sales, additional content and insight, personal recommendations, and more. Know more please visit our blog here :
