After all, they\u2019ve selected the product and paid for it, right? But what they fail to grasp is how Netflix and Amazon are directing their shopping behaviour. Algorithms are a key part of this, as they predict customers\u2019 needs and suggest products using data about people\u2019s online activities, known as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/blog\/big-data-the-connective-gold\/\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"noopener\">big data<\/a>.

Big data is used by many other companies as well. Banks use it to spot financial fraud and hospitals to identify high-risk patients. And of course marketers use big data to sell more products.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b37990 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b37990\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConsumers might not be too enthusiastic about of this, though. They\u2019re kind of fed up with the over five trillion ads\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dataconomy.com\/2018\/09\/six-ways-big-data-can-refine-your-digital-marketing-efforts\/\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"noopener\">served<\/a>\u00a0each year. But big data marketing, however, \u2013 analysing data to improve\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/keynote\/the-future-of-marketing\/\" rel=\"noopener\">marketing<\/a>\u00a0activities \u2013 isn\u2019t about more ads. It\u2019s about serving the right ads to the right people at the right time. It\u2019s about answering questions regarding what type of message resonates with customers, which landing page is the most efficient, or which social media platform should the company use to reach their target audience. Without big data, companies operate on unproven assumptions, which is never a good idea.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6644d6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6644d6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s why businesses use big data marketing to solve puzzling issues. And the good thing is that there\u2019s no lack of data. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.capterra.com\/10-surprising-big-data-statistics\/\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"noopener\">estimates<\/a>, \u201cBy 2020, 1.7 megabytes of data will be created every second, for every person on earth\u201d. Businesses and startups that still ignore such vast quantities of data \u2013 and its power \u2013 would be wise to catch a wake up. Getting to know your customers has never been easier, and it\u2019s doable even for cash-strapped startups.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ca0f80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ca0f80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h2>Collecting and analysing data isn\u2019t as difficult as it seems<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9041179 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9041179\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe first step in that process is to gather marketing-relevant data from several sources. For example, always ask for customers\u2019 e-mail, name, or address when you communicate with them. Once you have large quantities of this type of information, you can run email marketing campaigns and segment customers based on how they react. Or data might show that people from one area buy more products compared to people from other geographical locations. In the next phase, you can track down and analyse the causes.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4cc56f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4cc56f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe second source of marketing data is the company\u2019s website. Free tools such as Google Analytics can analyse web traffic and discover opportunities and problems. For example, it can show what led customers to your website. Was it Facebook, Twitter, Google, or some other source? This can guide the decision on where to invest money to attract new visitors.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e403174 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e403174\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnd in the case of new companies lacking their own data, marketers should analyse competitors and industry reports. These sources can provide a wealth of information to work with until the company gets its own customer data. Also, savvy marketers harness the power of social media as it provides almost limitless amounts of data. For example, fan pages on Facebook can show the demographics of followers, their age, income level, and so much more. But once you collect data, it\u2019s important to analyse it properly and avoid common pitfalls.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcb15b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fcb15b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h2>Costly mistakes to avoid and the right questions to ask<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-131b321 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"131b321\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDealing with big data for the first time can be overwhelming. The solution is to go one step at a time and focus on clear objectives. Max Galka, the founder of Metrocosm, breaks down some of the basic questions that should guide big data analysis. \u201cA marketing campaign is the product of countless strategic decisions. Which marketing channels should I use? Who should I target? What message should I communicate? How should I measure its effectiveness?\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.growthramp.io\/analytics\/big-data-marketing\/\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"noopener\">says<\/a>\u00a0Galka. And as marketers address these questions one by one, they\u2019ll have to dig even deeper as new insights lead to new puzzles. Once the work is done, a set of data-based recommendations is formed and used to guide marketing campaigns. And judging by many examples, this approach can produce impressive results.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42d85f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"42d85f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/XjmldAL9RQs\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7eb994a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7eb994a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\n<h2>Creative big data campaigns<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62b3f61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"62b3f61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne of the most memorable data-driven marketing campaigns involved weather forecasts and hair-care products. While conducting customer research for Pantene, the Leo Burnett advertising agency discovered that women use different hair products during \u2018bad hair days\u2019. Soon after, a new marketing campaign was launched. Using the Weather Company app, the agency pushed ads to women in regions affected by extreme weather. Consumers were urged to protect their hair by buying Pantene hair products in Walgreens stores.
