Power Your Personalization

Looking for a unified view of your customer’s data but don’t know where to start? e-CENS has you covered.

Why do you need a Customer Data Platform (CDP)?

A customer data platform (CDP) empowers every marketing organization to be data-driven – to make the right decisions about where to invest time and money for the best customer experience.

With data arriving from more channels and in more formats than ever, there is no shortage of data for the marketing team to use.

Unfortunately, without the right strategy to handle all the data coming in from web, apps, in-store transactions, and call centers, the abundance of data may result only in a cacophony of noise, rather than clear information.

How do marketers take all that noisy data and turn it into a symphony?

This is a non-trivial challenge, especially because it occurs in an ever-evolving economic and regulatory landscape. 

Consider the massive impact on data management due to new privacy regulations. Add to this the loss of third-party cookies for ad tracking, changing consumer habits, and navigating historical societal changes. It’s enough to overwhelm even the most seasoned data-driven marketing organizations.

Customer data is the key to every company’s future. It is the primary way to understand your customers’ attitudes and buying preferences. To ensure the best experience, you need to manage and activate data in real-time.

Customer Data Hub

CDPs are part of the larger suite of tools known as a Customer Data Hub (CDH). A CDH powers each step of your data supply chain — starting at Collection and ending with Activation.

These make data available at every customer touchpoint and marketing technology vendor – in real-time. When properly set up, they fuel exceptional customer experiences and insights. 

Your Customer Data Hub allows you to:

  • Manage client-side data and tag vendors;
  • Collate data from all customer touchpoints;
  • Apply business logic to enrich data;
  • Identify your most valuable audiences;
  • Manage server-side data and vendor connections;
  • Store data for later analyses
  • Create audiences and activate those audiences in your marketing platforms

CDP Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

In today’s digital world, businesses collect data from various sources about their customers, such as website behavior, purchase history, and email interactions. A Customer Data Platform (CDP) is a powerful tool that helps you unify this fragmented customer data into a single, persistent customer profile.

Think of a CDP as a central command center for all your customer data. Here’s why it’s important for your business:

  • Unified Customer View: Eliminate data silos and gain a holistic view of each customer across touchpoints. This allows for more personalized marketing campaigns and improved customer experiences.
  • Improved Marketing ROI: Targeted marketing campaigns based on a unified customer profile can significantly improve campaign effectiveness and return on investment.
  • Enhanced Customer Segmentation: Create highly targeted customer segments based on demographics, behavior, and preferences. This allows you to deliver more relevant and personalized experiences.
  • Omnichannel Marketing: Ensure consistent messaging across all channels (email, social media, website) by leveraging a unified customer profile.
  • Data-Driven Decisions: Make informed business decisions based on a deeper understanding of your customer base.

While both CDPs and CRMs deal with customer data, they have distinct purposes:

  • Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Primarily focuses on managing customer interactions and relationships. CRMs are excellent tools for sales and customer service teams, tracking leads, deals, and support interactions.
  • Customer Data Platform (CDP): Focuses on unifying customer data from various sources to create a holistic customer profile. CDPs are marketer-centric, providing a deeper understanding of customer behavior and preferences for targeted marketing campaigns and personalization.

e-CENS’s team of data experts has over 15 years of experience in data management and analysis to drive competitive advantage and successful business outcomes.
