When analyzed, big data can provide businesses with insights that allow companies to formulate optimal strategies.</div> </div><p>Are you having problems getting new clients or establishing lasting customer relationships? We all know that the latter is the key to customer retention, a term that is synonymous with having a steady revenue stream. Customer retention is not that easy to accomplish, sure you can offer your customer value-added services, product discounts and even freebies and they’d still walk out on you.</p><p>So how do you ensure that your business stays relevant to your customers? There are a lot of ways to do this but nothing beats knowing your customers better.</p><p>The key to customer retention is boosting customer service by aligning it with customer expectations and needs throughout the purchase journey. And this is where big data comes in. Although a relatively new information analysis method, big data can now be used to study consumer behavior, which in turn benefits customer satisfaction. But for big data to be of use to you, you will need to have a trusty <a href="/data-analytics/">data analytics software</a> to make sense of the information you’ve gathered.</p><p>In this article, we will discuss what big data is and what it can do to help you better understand your customers, providing you with a bird’s eye view of what this data analysis tool can do for your company.</p><p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-162772 lazyload" alt="what is big data" width="1024" height="536" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" data-src="https://financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/what-is-big-data-1024x536.jpg" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe/WZNAAAADklEQVR42mNkgAJGDAYAAFEABCaLYqoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-srcset="https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/what-is-big-data-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/what-is-big-data-300x157.jpg 300w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/what-is-big-data-768x402.jpg 768w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/what-is-big-data-232x120.jpg 232w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/what-is-big-data-93x48.jpg 93w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/what-is-big-data-277x145.jpg 277w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/what-is-big-data.jpg 1200w"></p><div class="fot-toc"> <div class="fot-toc__header"> <h4>Big Data & Customer Behavior Guide</h4> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <div class="fot-toc__list"> <ol class="fot-toc__ol col50"> <li><a href="#three">Big Data: The Three Vs</a></li> <li><a href="#establish">Establish Customer Personas</a></li> <li><a href="#identify">Identify Your Best Customers</a></li> <li><a href="#use">Use Big Data Analytics Software</a></li> <li><a href="#collect">Collect As Much Data as You Can</a></li> </ol> <ol class="fot-toc__ol col50"> <li><a href="#beready">Be Ready for Real Time</a></li> <li><a href="#maximize">Maximize Data Use</a></li> <li><a href="#use2">Use Any Platform</a></li> <li><a href="#big">Big Data Use Cases</a></li> </ol> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div><p>You may have at one time or another heard or read about big data. It’s the latest craze among corporate data crunchers, the meaning of which, many people have no idea. So what is big data? To spare you the burden of deciphering technical jargon, the simplest big data definition is that it is a term used to describe large volumes of information that organizations collect daily from various sources.</p><p>However, data volume is not as important as the way companies use this information. Big data, when subjected to analysis, can provide insights that can be used to come up with data-driven business decisions. In fact, companies that utilize big data have reported <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/325923">profit spikes of 8 to 10 percent</a>.</p><script id="chartist59857492" type="application/json"> {"y_units": "percent", "data": [{"x":"","xl":"Executives who believe NOT embracing big data is risky ","y":"79","yl":"","color":"#0086cf"}] } </script><script id="chartist57605820" type="application/json"> {"y_units": "percent", "data": [{"x":"","xl":"Executives who pursue big data to gain competitive edge","y":"83","yl":"","color":"#0086cf"}] } </script><style> div[data-id="chartist59857492"] .highcharts-pie-series .highcharts-color-0 { fill: #0086cf } div[data-id="chartist57605820"] .highcharts-pie-series .highcharts-color-0 { fill: #0086cf } </style><div class="custom-chart" data-anim="true" data-home-url="https://financesonline.com" data-export="true" data-id="donuts77058784" data-title="The Big Brass Dig Big Data" data-subtitle="Big data is tied to profits, executives say"> <div class="donut-charts with-subtitle"> <h3 class="chartist-header">The Big Brass Dig Big Data</h3> <h4 class="chartist-subtitle">Big data is tied to profits, executives say</h4> <div class="donut-charts__container"> <svg class="donut-export"> <title>Chart context menu</title> <path fill="#666666" d="M 6 6.5 L 20 6.5 M 6 11.5 L 20 11.5 M 6 16.5 L 20 16.5" class="highcharts-button-symbol" data-z-index="1" stroke="#666666" stroke-width="3"></path> </svg> <div class="highcharts-contextmenu"> <div class="highcharts-menu"> <div class="highcharts-menu-item" data-type="full-screen">View in full screen</div> <div class="highcharts-menu-item" data-type="print">Print chart</div> <hr> <div class="highcharts-menu-item" data-type="png">Download PNG image</div> <div class="highcharts-menu-item" data-type="jpg">Download JPEG image</div> <div class="highcharts-menu-item" data-type="svg">Download SVG vector image</div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="donut-charts__item"> <div class="highcharts-chart" data-type="donut" data-id="chartist59857492" data-anim="true"></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="donut-charts__item"> <div class="highcharts-chart" data-type="donut" data-id="chartist57605820" data-anim="true"></div> </div> </div> </div> <p class="charts-source">Source: Accenture</p><div class="clearfix"></div> <span class="designed">Designed by</span> </div> </div><p>Both corporate and government organizations have been restructuring their processes to work with big data analytics software.

The competitive edge that these tools offer can leave those who fail to quickly adapt lagging behind. And then there are also <a href="/c/business-intelligence-software/">business intelligence tools</a> that can further help in the collection and analysis of information.</p><p>But using these solutions is not enough, knowing business intelligence KPIs is also a must to ensure optimal results.

However, practical applications of big data came up in 2005 when people started to realize how much information is being generated by Internet channels such as Facebook, YouTube, and other sites. It was during the same year when open-source frameworks like Hadoop were developed. These tools were designed to easily process and store tons of data without breaking the bank. Since then, the generation of big data has exploded exponentially as even devices connected to the Internet are now contributing to big data.</p><h3><strong>Volume</strong></h3><p>As the term implies, big data involves large volumes of unstructured information. These may include webpage clickstreams, Twitter data feeds or those gleaned from mobile applications. Other sources include social media, business transactions and machine-to-machine interactions. This tremendous amount of information would have posed a huge problem in the past. But thanks to new tech, big data can easily be managed.</p><h3><strong>Velocity</strong></h3><p>Velocity covers the speed of data reception and the time it takes to act on them. As data streams are collected in a high-speed manner, they should be processed and analyzed as quickly as possible. Data capture technologies such as smart metering, sensors and RFID tags make it imperative that big data be processed in real time.</p><h3><strong>Variety</strong></h3><p>Big data come in different types. There are conventional structured data types that easily blend with databases. However, there are also so-called semi-structured and unstructured data, which require metadata support and preprocessing for successful analysis.</p><script id="charts41989808" type="application/json"> {"title":"Structured vs. Unstructured","subtitle":"How company data often appear (worldwide)","source":"Source: Tata Consultancy Services","type":"pie","display":[],"y_units":"percent","data":[{"x":"","xl":"Structured","y":"51","yl":"","color":"auto"},{"x":"","xl":"Unstructured","y":"27","yl":"","color":"auto"},{"x":"","xl":"Semi-structured","y":"21","yl":"","color":"auto"},{"x":"","xl":"Others","y":"1","yl":"","color":"auto"}]}</script><style> </style><div class="custom-chart" data-anim="true" data-home-url="https://financesonline.com" data-export="true"> <div class="pie-chart"> <div class="pie-charts__container"> <div class="highcharts-chart" data-type="pie" data-id="charts41989808"></div> </div> <p class="charts-source">Source: Tata Consultancy Services</p><div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div><h3 class="bg-title">Understanding Customers With Big Data</h3><p>Big data is very useful in determining the value of your customers. Structured data such as those of sales in marketing are readily available and can tell you a lot about your clients. What poses the bigger challenge is the management of unstructured information, which, thanks to new technologies is now possible. When used properly, big data can give you the ability to analyze customer behavior and forecast purchases while providing you with a deeper understanding of your customers. The following are ways by which you can use big data to know more about your customers.</p><h3 id="establish"><strong>Establish Customer Personas</strong></h3><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Customer personas are basic qualities that describe different customer segments. Establishing personas will help you in coming up with effective advertising campaigns and target marketing messages. Segmentation tells you a lot about your customers, offering information such as influence sources, demographics and average income, to name a few. </span></p><p>There are a lot of platforms that are great in collecting customer information. Among these is the vast selection of data analytics and business intelligence solutions in the market. Designed to discover and manage information, these software applications automatically generate reports.</p><p>These tools also offer valuable insights by analyzing raw business data using different metrics and formulas. These insights help companies get a pulse of how their organizations are performing.</p><div id="attachment_162906" style="width: 1225px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-162906" class="size-full wp-image-162906 lazyload" alt="" width="1215" height="599" sizes="(max-width: 1215px) 100vw, 1215px" data-src="https://financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/sisense.jpg" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe/WZNAAAADklEQVR42mNkgAJGDAYAAFEABCaLYqoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-srcset="https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/sisense.jpg 1215w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/sisense-300x148.jpg 300w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/sisense-768x379.jpg 768w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/sisense-1024x505.jpg 1024w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/sisense-93x46.jpg 93w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/sisense-294x145.jpg 294w"><p id="caption-attachment-162906" class="wp-caption-text">Sisense allows you to run numbers by a variety of segments to enable you to interpret data in a meaningful way.</p></div><h3 id="identify"><strong>Identify Your Best Customers</strong></h3><p>To better focus your efforts, being able to identify your best customers is crucial. By default, the best customers are those who make the most purchases from your business. But studies have shown that these consumers are not only the most resource-intensive to retain but also the least loyal among them. To identify your best customers, big data takes into account a number of factors. These include lifetime value, average purchase cost, acquisition costs, customer satisfaction, and retention costs.</p><p>Benchmarking these factors against your current perception of your customers will give you an idea of who the best of them are. This is provided that these metrics coincide with the characteristics of specific customers. <a href="/c/sales-tools/">Sales systems</a> are very useful in collating information that can help you understand your customers better. Determining customer value requires you to get your hands on customer data, a process that’s a staple of sales tools.</p><h3 id="use"><strong>Use Big Data Analytics Software</strong></h3><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Having identified your best customers it’s now time to thresh out customer behavior and demographic trends that relate to your best customers and cross match them to the personas that you have created, a process that is effectively managed using big data analytics. Also, you should be on the lookout for customers of value and those have less. Having accomplished these, you should now be able to define customer groups by demographic, behavior and merit.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;"> The value that these customer groups pose to your company should have you focusing on them. </span>To help you in this endeavor, going for data analytics software is the right thing to do. These systems are capable of analyzing and interpreting big data and turn them into actionable insights. This is apart from the fact that these apps can be integrated into just about any of your business systems, allowing you to instantly access them in software environments that are familiar to you.</p><div id="attachment_161231" style="width: 1204px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-161231" class="wp-image-161231 size-full lazyload" alt="" width="1194" height="585" sizes="(max-width: 1194px) 100vw, 1194px" data-src="https://financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/SAP-BusinessObjects-Lumira-e1562926944755.jpg" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe/WZNAAAADklEQVR42mNkgAJGDAYAAFEABCaLYqoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-srcset="https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/SAP-BusinessObjects-Lumira-e1562926944755.jpg 1194w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/SAP-BusinessObjects-Lumira-e1562926944755-300x147.jpg 300w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/SAP-BusinessObjects-Lumira-e1562926944755-768x376.jpg 768w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/SAP-BusinessObjects-Lumira-e1562926944755-1024x502.jpg 1024w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/SAP-BusinessObjects-Lumira-e1562926944755-93x46.jpg 93w, https://s.financesonline.com/uploads/2019/07/SAP-BusinessObjects-Lumira-e1562926944755-296x145.jpg 296w"><p id="caption-attachment-161231" class="wp-caption-text">Data analytics allows you to view sales by category (SAP Lumira).</p></div><h3 id="collect"><strong>Collect As Much Data as You Can</strong></h3><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Incomplete data often result in blind spots, which can lead to an equally incomplete snapshot of the customer experience.
