What is customer intelligence?
Customer intelligence is the detailed information about customers, their buying behaviour, and the motivations behind their purchases.
It helps in understanding the mindset behind their buying decisions. It answers the question: why do they buy what they buy?
Why is customer intelligence important?
Customer Intelligence is at the core of understanding customer behaviour. It explains the WHY. As a result, businesses can position their offerings correctly.
Customers purchase a product (or a service) for their own reasons. The seller’s reason to sell that product is not as relevant as the customer’s reason to buy. Yet, the mismatch between the two is uncomfortably commonplace.
At Veravizion, we strive to find that mismatch.
In other words, the insight on customer’s motivation behind a purchase helps us position our offering in a correct manner.
Moreover, you can use these insights to design personalized marketing strategies. Consequently, this can result in more customers buying more frequently, and of higher value.
Thus, Customer Intelligence helps you to ensure sustainable business growth.
