The First Step in Customer Understanding: Where and How to Collect Data?

The journey of customer understanding undoubtedly begins with data collection. However, many companies harbor concerns like, "Can we really utilize a CDP if we don't already possess a large volume of data?" Rest assured, with Antsomi CDP 365, you can take a firm first step, even if your current situation is "no customer data."

Let's address some of the most common questions about data collection raised in our webinars.

💾 Q1: What data is necessary to leverage Marketing Automation (MA) with Antsomi CDP 365?

A: Ideally, customer profile data such as email addresses, phone numbers, and names are preferred. This information is highly recommended because it allows you to directly identify customers and enable more personal communication.

However, even if you don't have customer data yet, you can get started right away as long as you have digital assets like a website or an app.

Let's break it down into two common scenarios based on your situation:

So the Key Takeaway is: 
Even if you're starting from zero, you can begin your journey toward customer understanding and personalization by leveraging anonymous data.

📥 Q2: How can data be collected if there is no existing customer data?

A: You can start collecting data with a simple, two-step process. First, you gather anonymous data, and then you gradually convert those visitors into known customers.

Step 1: 🖥️ Start Immediately by Collecting Anonymous Data

All you need to do is install the Antsomi tracking tag on your website.

This tag instantly begins to automatically collect anonymous data about visitor behavior, such as:

• •The pages they view

• •The products they browse

• •The content they show interest in

This foundational data is the first step to understanding who your visitors are and what they want.

Step 2: 🙋‍♀️ Gradually Collect Detailed Customer Information

The next goal is to encourage them to share their information (like an email address) in exchange for something valuable.

Here are some effective strategies:

• •Surveys: Use simple pop-up banners to ask for feedback or opinions.

• •Gamification: Engage visitors with interactive content like a "Spin to Win" wheel or a "Lucky Draw" contest to win prizes.

• •Strategic Pop-ups: Offer a discount coupon in exchange for an email address when a visitor is about to leave your site.

These engaging methods help you build your customer database over time.

📊 Q3: How does the type and amount of data impact what we can do with Antsomi CDP 365?

A: Think of your data as the fuel for your marketing engine. The type and amount of data you have directly determine the "breadth" and "depth" of the strategies you can execute.

Here's a simple breakdown of what you can achieve at different data levels:

Our Recommended Approach: Start Small & Grow

Antsomi CDP 365 is designed to support this gradual journey. The key is to:

1. Start by understanding customer behavior with the anonymous data you already have.

2. Then, progressively collect more profile data to build deeper, more personal, and more effective communication.

📈 Q4: How can I improve data collection on our website?

A: The key to better data collection is creating more engaging experiences for your website visitors.

Here are some examples of effective strategies you can implement using Antsomi CDP 365 to boost engagement and enrich your data:

1. Personalize the Experience

Show visitors product recommendations and articles tailored to their browsing history. When content feels personally relevant, visitors are more likely to stay longer, explore more, and trust your brand.

2. Use Strategic Pop-ups

Offer a clear value exchange. For example, use an exit-intent pop-up to offer a 10% discount coupon in return for an email address. This gives visitors a compelling reason to share their information before they leave.

3. Ask for Feedback

Use simple pop-up banners to run mini-surveys or polls. Asking for your visitors' opinions is a great way to learn about their preferences while making them feel valued and heard.

4. Make It Fun with Gamification

Add entertaining elements like a "Spin to Win" wheel or a "Lucky Draw" contest. Games not only make the experience more enjoyable but also encourage repeat visits and make visitors more willing to provide their information.
