Finding persons who like some things more than how they like others, allows marketers to put them in certain clusters. A cluster can be made with persons who are dog lovers, another with goldfish lovers and another one with cat lovers. The marketers who are working for a pet store can use these clusters when they are designing messages to target customers in the right way.
Marketers wouldn’t want to be sending messages about dogs to a cat lover or a goldfish lover – clustering has provided the ideal way for them to get target the right customers with the right messages. Annoying potential customers with wrong messages can be a big turn off and customer clustering can fix that problem very easily. When customers are divided into groups there is no need to worry about sending the wrong message to the wrong customer.
How Clustering helps?
Each customer starts out by being in their own cluster before other persons who have similar likes are placed in the cluster they are in. Even though there are different techniques that are being used by data analysts to determine which cluster to place customers in. For example, dog lovers will have many different dogs and buy different food for them. There could be a problem after a while if all dog lovers were placed in one cluster, as small dogs are quite different from large dogs. They have different needs and their food and almost everything that is needed for them is different. Having a cluster just for them might be a great idea. Data analysts will choose the number of clusters they need to adequately cover the customers who have been supporting a business by analyzing what is being offered by the business before they look at the likes and dislikes of their customers.
The data trail that is left behind by customers can go a far way in helping business owners to improve customer service. Eventually, customers could begin receiving messages from cyberspace when it is time for them to renew their prescriptions or check their blood pressure, just as they are receiving messages about bill payment now.
Businesses that continue adapting new strategies to interact with customers will find that it becomes much easier for customer complaints to be heard and addressed. Not just that, there will be fewer complaints that arise in the first place. It is a much better approach to doing business, as the customers receive the message that they want to hear.
Improved customer service due to the improvement in data science, data analysis, the use of big data and other technologies keeps on getting better every day.
Business owners who are not keeping up with the changes that are taking place will not be in business for long, as customers will be doing business with the persons who are interacting with them on a personal level. Knowing what they need and when to offer it, changing whatever they want to be changed so they can have great experiences and doing business with them in such an effortless way that they are always satisfied with their choices whenever they are purchasing anything. Hence it becomes imperative for you as a business owner to maximize the data available to you. Contact us at NextBee to find out how we can help you.
