This allows them to engage with consumers on core business aspects such as product, brand identity, and brand spirit. IT personnel can provide the technology, execute website building and tracking tasks; however, the questions of &#8221;\u00a0<\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">why &#8221; to track data, &#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\"><b>where &#8221;\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span dir=\"auto\">to track it\u00a0<\/span><span dir=\"auto\">, the relationships between data points and the information they provide\u00a0<b>,\u00a0<\/b>and &#8221;\u00a0<b>what\u00a0<\/b>&#8221; can be done with that information are the brand planning questions that business owners\/marketers must consider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Why is &#8220;data marketing&#8221; so important? Data marketing is about understanding the market through data collection and interpretation.\u00a0<\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">Over 40% of startups fail quickly, largely because they don&#8217;t understand the market. Successful entrepreneurs aren&#8217;t dreamers, but rather rational intelligence gatherers.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">Data marketing has a wide range of applications. We first define the scope and objectives of data collection, then widely deploy data tracking points. The purpose of data marketing, besides determining what product to offer, is to determine &#8220;which customer group to target, marketing channels and geographic locations, what industry to invest in, scale, and when to enter\/exit the market.&#8221; In addition to analyzing the popularity of a product or service, we also study the impact of current events on industry development, designing the entire data marketing process, the scope of data collection, setting clear performance targets, and planning supporting IT equipment, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span dir=\"auto\"><b>The new 4Ps\u00a0<\/b>of data marketing are interconnected.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Segmenting and analyzing customers lays the data base foundation for targeted marketing. Past theories used the &#8220;old 4Ps&#8221; to segment the market environment, including macro-environmental factors such as demographics, environment, economy, technology, and socio-cultural factors, as well as individual or group factors influencing marketing (customers, intermediary suppliers, competitors). However, in the era of digital marketing that has broken down geographical barriers, the old 4Ps alone are far from sufficient. We need to\u00a0<\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">add a new &#8220;people-centric&#8221; 4Ps\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">: People, Performance\/Customer Dynamics, Process, and Prediction.

If revenue didn&#8217;t improve, what were the key issues? For example, a chain brand might have two branches running the same marketing campaign, but with different results. Analysis might reveal that branch A needs to actively expand brand awareness, while branch B&#8217;s primary focus is retaining regular customers. These different needs result in varying appeal of the marketing campaign.\u00a0<\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">Therefore, the marketing direction, strategies, and KPIs for different branches should be tailored to their specific needs.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Process <\/span><span dir=\"auto\">steps:<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The causes of revenue fluctuations are nothing more than: 1. Sales performance, 2. Number of customers, and 3. Average transaction value. When profitability changes (whether for better or worse), the causes of these changes should be systematically filtered through back-end data to identify priority issues or areas for further amplification, and to formulate the next steps to effectively push information back to consumers. Data analysis should be conducted in the process section to fundamentally explore the reasons for changes in numbers.\u00a0<\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">This allows businesses to make immediate decisions and move towards meaningful improvements when profitability is poor\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><span dir=\"auto\">;\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><span dir=\"auto\">and when profitability is good, it&#8217;s also important to rationally eliminate\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><span dir=\"auto\">vanity metrics\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><span dir=\"auto\">*1\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><span dir=\"auto\">and focus on things that truly have an impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">Conclusions must be objective so that businesses can consciously extract individual results and accumulate wisdom for brand growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prediction\uff1a<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">After mastering the first three metrics, businesses can use analytics tools\u00a0<\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">to examine past customer\/potential consumer behavior, assess their future product search patterns\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">(e.g., using data to identify families about to give birth and sending them promotional ads for baby products),\u00a0<\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\">and the frequency of similar shopping behaviors\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span dir=\"auto\">(e.g., users of Brand A lotion restock approximately every two months), providing marketing recommendations.

Utilizing professional data analysis, it helps brands define their marketing direction and ultimately plan their growth trajectory. After defining their products and services, newly established brands first use &#8220;People&#8221; to identify their target customer group, build user personas, and plan segmented marketing objectives (marketing objectives are not necessarily profit; they can also include increasing brand awareness, improving brand visibility, etc.).

For example, they can segment potential customers based on advertising placement, ensuring they receive different combinations of ads; or they can provide members with appropriate discount codes based on their preferences.

As mentioned earlier, we cannot handle such a massive workload solely through human intervention.
