Why You Should Use Data in Marketing
Consistent and Personalized Messaging - You shouldn’t just advertise to a group of people once or twice. Consistent messaging is a sure-fire way of getting that group's attention and keeping it.
Prospect segmentation and focused marketing - The messaging that you advertise should be relevant to your business and focused on the goal of the ad. Segmenting your audience into age, gender, location, or whatever you choose will help inform you of what the goal of the ad should be.
Product promotion and development - Marketing is not only about the products that you already have, but also the production of new ones as well. Your data can help teach you what products your audiences are in need of or what they are looking for and can’t find.
