Site & Social Media Data – Five Ways It Can Save Your Business

29 Feb

You’ve undoubtedly already heard some of the big fuss over ‘big data’. Analysts are in demand all over the business world. This isn’t a fad that’s going to die down any time soon, either. The fact that we have more access to more data than ever before allows us to make better decisions and find the keys to success within our business. It can be easy to get swallowed up in the doublespeak of the data analyst world, however. So, here is a guide to make it a bit more understandable and teach you some of the ways data can help your business.

Conversion rate optimization
It may sound like we’ve already begun with the doublespeak, so we will make things simpler. What is conversion rate optimization? Essentially, it’s taking the data of your website to restructure it. It’s the practice of making every aspect of the site more user friendly, to engage visitors and better turn them into customers. Using data from your site can be a tremendous help to CRO, finding the points that already catch customer attention and capitalizing on them. It can also help you fix up the parts that aren’t getting many visitors at all.

It helps you recognize your customers
Whether it’s on social media or your own retail methods, taking customer data is very important. A lot of consumers imagine corporations selling their data, but that’s not the only or even the primary use for it. Using that data allows you to better know your customers. It teaches you what demographics to aim at with your marketing and even how you might be appeal to them.

It makes you more credible
Credibility is very important to a business. It can help you gain the trust of new visitors over your competitors. How can data help you gain this most valuable attribute, though? The answer lies in measuring the credibility of your site, itself. Make sure your site is totally free of errors. Make sure all your links aim where they’re supposed to and nowhere unexpected. Dodgy links greatly impact your standing on search engines, for one.

Keep up with the market
Analytics are widely available thanks to apps like Google Trends. Especially on social media, this is a great way to measure the ‘zeitgeist’ of the market. Getting involved in trends in your marketing and social media is a great way to attract some easy attention. The more relevant your company is and the more they can engage with the outside world, the better.

Sales forecasting
One of the best ways data can help you is in your finances itself. With sales forecasting, you can get a great idea of how well your current strategies are doing. By keeping a close eye on your buyer’s’ behaviour, you can focus the energy of your company where it really matters. You can also redirect it to pick up in places where you believe you’re following behind. Data can revolutionize your whole business, letting you make better decisions every step of the way.
