Data, data, and more data. In today’s media landscape, marketers are gobbling up any data they can get their hands on. What’s key is knowing how to use that data to make smart messaging and targeting decisions. Evolution in the retail space, including the rise of online research, online shopping, and trackable purchase data, has paved the way for marketers to get this data and learn the best methods to influence consumer intent and motivate a purchase.

 

HOW MARKETERS GET DATA ON CONSUMERS.

Today’s shoppers are doing the majority of their research online. Before a consumer makes a purchase, they spend time researching products on brand websites, searching for coupons, reading recommendations, and interacting with peers and influencers on social media. 89% of consumers said they research products before making a purchase, and almost 80% said they research primarily on digital devices. As consumers research and shop, they seek personalization. In fact, 57% of internet users ages 18-24 are looking for brands to send them personalized ads, relevant to their interests. That means one factor of a successful marketing strategy should include personalized messaging. In order to make a message tailored to consumers, that data collected from consumers’ online researching comes in handy.

 

USING THIS DATA TO TAILOR MESSAGES TO CONSUMERS.

Because shoppers research and buy online, marketers have access to new data sets that were previously unavailable. This data can be used to engage the new shopper, when and where they shop, moving consumers down the purchase funnel. 78% of marketers believe in the value of using advanced data and analytics to better understand, reach, and personalize messaging to consumers.
