Consumers today have access to information anytime, anywhere, including what, where, and when to buy, how much to pay, among other things. This makes it increasingly important to use consumer-focused data analytics to predict how they will behave when interacting with brands.
The goal of consumer analytics is to create a single, accurate customer view to make strategic decisions about how to acquire, identify and retain them. The better the understanding of consumer buying patterns, the more accurate the prediction of consumer behavior and journey when purchasing a product or service.
