Have you ever wondered how data holds the maximum potential to be your most precious marketing resource? Having appropriate information can help to create innovative marketing processes. In light of the same, we spoke to Purandhar Dhandu, Digital Marketing Manager, KredX, about the significance of data in this digital marketing epoch, and here's what he had to say.
No matter what industry you're in, analytics and data always impact your business operations, as well as your marketing strategies.
Modern consumers need data to know the sources of your leads and prospects, reasons that generate leads, information that attracts them, and what a normal buying cycle looks like. Someone who sees a post on social media follows you on a channel like Facebook or Twitter and comes across a new product. But he/she doesn't purchase the product until it appears as a pop-up ad, alongside another website. It's a different kind of user journey, which is much more complex and typically involves multiple platforms and campaigns.

Data can show you an overall image of what's happening with your customers and user journey. It helps you navigate through the larger picture so that you can start changing the individual parts impactfully.
