False Information - your fault?

Hurrying under pressure is a common business mistake. Even the top level does it without anybody above.

What's the pressure all about?

Markets are evidently a source of pressure - to perform, outperform, and come up with a solution for the masses before anyone else does. Even if you are not catering to large markets, small markets may have a make or break situation for you.

Mindless estimations, faults under pressure, and careless decisions can ruin your company. Most of these decisions are based on inaccurate facts, which may be so deeply rooted in your plan, that there is hardly any way of telling.

Market information can be faulty very easily. Although at the macro level mistakes are easy to catch, the premise of such information is often at the micro level. Information collected from consumers can be old, irrelevant, and misleading.

So here's what: if you had the correct market data, the chances of building up towards a comprehensive report about a market segment won't be impossible. If you trust your own market reports because you have the expertise and do not want to rely on any other source, you need to get the basics right.

The basics of any information of report is granular data. Unless you have a strictly administered consumer database, it is impossible to tell preferences, percentages, hot-selling items, etc.

So here's what you have to do. Whether you are in the healthcare business or make technologies to support organizations, know about them who use your supplies, and how they do it. What's their behavior pattern, and are they adequately satisfied?

The answers to these questions are with us, available in segmented formats, creating opportunities for those who use them.

Hospitality Marketers and their Data

Coming to realize the concerns of a B2C marketer, data companies like us realize the complexity of tracking targets. Favorite cuisines, ambiance preferences, locations, and work and travel behavior... wooh! that's a lot of information when it is not a business concern, and individuals only. However, we are talking about something a little more penetrative, realizing that it could be controversial at the same time. Do you remember restaurants requesting your information at the end of a meal, and you just end up leaving your office name or address at the bottom of the review. That leaves the scope for a hospitality or restaurant marketer to find out information about your colleagues - at least the ones who share a similar taste in food. We embarked upon some brainstorming last week to figure out if the complexity could be lowered at some level in the process of data-driven marketing in the B2C sphere.
