Demystifying Big Data

The term “big data” has been thrown around more and more over the past few years. And while big data has been prophesized to be the next fundamental marketing tool, very little about what it actually is has made its way into public knowledge. Many even define the term incorrectly, allowing it to reach little more than the status of a buzzword mentioned blithely at the business roundtable.
“Yes, of course we should use big data! …What is it again?”

As many of us already know, the survey can be an invaluable tool for monitoring the needs and desires of your customer base. However, many of us have also found that surveys conducted online are often little less than irritating…
Pop-up surveys are now one of the most popular techniques employed to collect information from website visitors, but they also can be quite irksome to some people. The annoyance factor here stems from two issues: (1) These surveys pop-up right at the moment when they are least welcome and make you click on them to close the window, and (2) they often ask the customer to take a survey that may not align with their current mood or objective.
Making your customers feel pressured to provide feedback can’t lead to anything good!

It’s important for any good business owner to try to get into the mind of potential customers. Owners who fail to take customers into account actually can do tremendous harm to their businesses—you never want your customers to feel like they’ve been ignored!
Marketing studies are finding that it’s not only helpful, but is actually imperative to think about and request your customers’ wants and feedback. Should a business owner skip this step, customers may feel ignored, which is bad for all parties involved.

Performing successful market research that sets you apart from the competition requires the gathering of insights, rather than just the compiling of information. Insightful interpretation can really set your data apart from others while also allowing for novel means of reaching different consumers for any kind of business. Really, rather than concentrating on a specific project, it can actually be more helpful nowadays to set out to discover insights for a variety of topics to better understand the dynamics and motivators of target groups. We discuss ways that you can incorporate an insight-based approach to your marketing research process here.
