Customer and business data enrichment lets you tap into reliable data resources to enhance your existing data with additional information. You can use expanded data to get a complete view of your customers that lets you make data-driven decisions for your business.
Why your business should use data enrichment
If you want to make data-driven business decisions, you have to be able to trust your data. Unfortunately, most organisations can’t rely on their data because it has inaccuracies. According to our global data management research, 55% of business leaders lack trust in their data and think about a third of their customer data is incorrect in some way. This means fewer data-driven decisions and a less agile business.
By enriching your data, your organisation opens up new information about your customers while also making sure your existing data is accurate. When you purchase a data set from a trusted source like Experian, you can be sure the data regularly refreshes to keep your data lists updated and reliable.
For example, you might find that customers from a certain area are more likely to buy a certain product. Or, your enriched data may update your records with the most recent customer data and show that many of your customers have moved in the last year. As new information becomes available through enrichment, your organisation can use the enriched data to re-evaluate strategies and make stronger business decisions.
Take a closer look at how data enrichment works and how adding data sets to your existing databases could give you a better understanding of your customers.
- What is data enrichment?
Business and marketing data enrichment is the process of expanding existing data with additional information. Enrichment often uses reliable third-party data sources to find more information on customer contact information or other data.
For example, you want to expand your customer postal address information with data about the properties where customers live. You can enrich your existing records with location data sets that could give you information on property taxes, dwelling type, or geocodes for more accurate deliveries.
- What is a data set?
A data set is a collection of data used in consumer data enrichment and B2B data enrichment. To enrich your existing records, you can buy a large data set that features additional data on customers. You can take this additional data and append your existing data for more insights and a better understanding of your customers.
