Customer Insights for a Competitive Edge

Customer insights ultimately lead to sustainable growth of your business. Once you know why your customers do things a certain way, it will be much easier to establish and build long-term relationships, and create a competitive edge for your business. There are two aspects to customer insights that businesses, small or big, need to attend to:

• The intersection of the interest of the consumer and features of the brand: understanding the desires and moods that motivates a customer’s actions.
• Business collects, organizes and interprets the information to acquire, satisfy, and retain customers and clients.

Because of the massive amount and the unstructured nature of customer insights, it is not easy for businesses to collect, analyze and make sense of the data. Customer insights in a digital age requires data collection from different sources in order to get a holistic picture of customer behaviors. For example, do customers buy your product online, or prefer to come into the store? Which vendor are they likely to get your product from? What are your customers saying about your product and services, and how can you use that information to tailor to their demands? Knowing the answers to these questions can give your business a competitive edge in the market.
