In the digital era, data is essential for all marketing strategies. It provides insights into customer behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns, enabling marketers to make informed decisions. Marketers will gather data and information across social media platforms, messaging tools, email insights, and more.
All of these insights are siloed across the various platforms marketers use to reach their customer base including Instagram, LinkedIn, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and so many more. Marketers are stuck using static Excel spreadsheets, enlisting the help of data engineers, and expensive, complex tools like Tableau, Looker, and Power BI to gain any insights from their efforts.
However, the challenge lies in the complexity of data analysis and visualization, often requiring technical expertise and sophisticated tools. As a result, marketers struggle to showcase value and prove ROI for their efforts. Marketers know their audience is engaging, but struggle to prove their efforts' results.
This is where no-code data dashboards come into play. Tools like Spontivly simplify the process and make data accessible to everyone (marketing, sales, customer support, and more!), not just data scientists or IT professionals.
The Importance of Data for Marketing Teams
Data plays a pivotal role in marketing. It helps in understanding the five key stages of audience engagement - awareness, consideration, conversion, retention, and advocacy/loyalty.
Marketers can gain insights into their audience's behavior and preferences by analyzing data from various touchpoints. A great form of testing audience behavior is through A/B testing. Marketers will try different messages to see what lands best with their audience. This helps in crafting personalized marketing strategies that resonate with the audience and drive engagement.
However, capturing and analyzing data from various touchpoints across all five stages of marketing can be a daunting task. Different insights are required in all five areas to understand where and how your success lies. Awareness is analyzed through understanding reach, while consideration and conversion are measured through more qualitative engagements. Retention and advocacy are measured through intimate customer profiles, ultimately pulling data from different types of sources and drawing different types of conclusions.
The Challenge: Data Analysis and Visualization
The people who interact with the marketing information at all five stages are not necessarily the same people who have the relevant educational backgrounds or refined competencies in coded dashboard building. This creates a gap, making it difficult for marketing teams to effectively measure Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics across all of these functions.
Moreover, traditional data analysis tools are often complex and require technical expertise to operate. This makes data analysis a time-consuming and resource-intensive process, hindering the marketing team's efficiency and productivity.
Currently, marketers have to export, download, and combine insights from all of their different platforms. All of these platforms offer siloed insights, but there's no space to combine these insights without the help of technical teams. This is where the challenge lies for marketing teams.
