When data-driven insights are used to guide a marketing plan that can be used to achieve tangible goals like increasing brand loyalty and generating more sales. The insights can be gleaned from numerous sources, including data from customers or competitor research, and even cultural or social trends that influence the behavior of consumers.
To gain insights marketers blend their personal experience from work or life with meticulously collected and analysed data sets. This is referred to as market research and should be conducted so that the data provides value and inspires a specific plan of action. It is important to remember that the term “insight” should not be used in conjunction with raw data or general knowledge. Insight is a way to gain a better understanding of future and current buyers in the market, enable better decisions regarding growth strategies and identify opportunities for innovation.
Insights enable resource optimization by focusing on areas that have the greatest potential and removing waste from less promising areas. They let businesses measure their performance against benchmarks and competitors so that they can improve over time. Insights can also guide long-term planning by revealing trends or forecasting future events that could affect a company’s product and service offerings.
