A CDP collects, unifies, and activates customer data to produce actionable insights and facilitate personalized marketing. Here’s how a CDP usually works:
A CDP collects customer data from different sources such as mobile apps, websites, CRM systems, email marketing platforms, and more. This data can include browsing behavior, demographic information, customer interactions, purchase history, and preferences.
The CDP merges the collected data to deliver unified customer profiles. It solves inconsistencies, consolidates duplicate records, and ensures the data is correct, consistent, and up-to-date. This process helps create a comprehensive and holistic view of each customer.
The CDP enhances customer profiles with additional data points, such as offline interactions, social media activity, and third-party data. This augmentation enriches the depth and quality of customer insights available for analysis and segmentation.
Using the unified and enriched customer profiles, the CDP enables you to segment your customer base based on specific criteria, such as behavior, demographics, interests, or purchase history. This segmentation allows for targeted marketing campaigns and personalized experiences.
