How well do businesses really know their customers?<\/h2>\n

As consumer expectations for relevant content and offers\u00a0grow as they experience top retailers such as Amazon, companies need to focus even more on customer experience through relevant communications.<\/p>\n

When completing\u00a0our Managing Digital Marketing in 2015 research<\/a>\u00a0we were interested to see how well companies do understand their customers since many respondents said that improving use of CRM and applying Big Data concepts was a priority for this year.<\/p>\n

We asked businesses which of the classic segmentation and targeting techniques <\/a>they used\u00a0to target their customers using online marketing, for example targeted emails or web-based personalisation.<\/p>\n

\"data-driven-marketing-sources\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we were were preparing our research report we also saw this related report from Ventana Research showing that companies are limiting the data sources to measure effectiveness. What about social media influencer score, Customer LTV and NPS?<\/p>\n
