Features of CDP
Unified Customer View
A CDP provides a 360-degree view of customers to help you understand and target your customers in a pin-pointed way. It persistently unifies data from several channels, both online and offline, in a single platform and organizes it in an efficient manner to serve a variety of systems. Its main goal is to help marketers boost their marketing efforts.
Segmentation
CDPs aggregate data from thousands, even millions of customers. They allow marketers to create basic and advanced segments from these data and let you target different customers based on their behavior, historical data, past purchases, likelihood to purchase, predictive segments and more.
Analytics & Insights
Every part of a business can benefit from such powerful data. Your marketing surely needs it to fuel its growth, but also your business intelligence (BI), customer experience teams, and product teams, among many, can rely on persistently collected and organized data. A CDP makes it easy to access and leverage this data by all in real time.
Advertising
The vast size of data that’s contained in a CDP also gives you the ability to use advanced functions like predictive segmentation to target users with a likelihood to purchase, audiences with a higher propensity to buy in ad channels, and improve your Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) significantly.
Real-Time Personalization
No marketer can truly excel without personalizing their campaigns. Large enterprises have strict requirements for class-leading personalization capabilities built into CDPs as they allow you to create highly-enriched customer profiles and serve personalized content, and recommendations based on customer behavior, customer lifecycle stage, lifetime value, previous purchases, wish lists, and more.
Cost Savings
By automating the data processing step, and adding advanced features for making use of this data, CDPs saves a ton of time for marketers. While formerly your marketing team would be bridled with processing, analyzing and creating actionable insights from this data, CDPs turn this into an efficient system as long as they are fed data and integrated into wide ecosystems.
We believe in building long-lasting relationships with our clients during the entire process to ensure that our brands are a true representation of your vision and resonate with you and your customers.
Comparing CDP with Other Systems
CDP vs. CRM
CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
- CRMs are limited in the range of ways they make data actionable and are generally used to keep track of a sales cycle, renewal of accounts, upsell, and cross-sell.
- The data collected in a CRM has to be entered manually, meaning users need to intentionally fill out a form or answer certain questions.
- CRMs cannot track info from anonymous users, unlike CDPs that can track these users with an individual ID.
- CRMs can not connect data with other channels like email, push or mobile app, among others like CDPs.
- Cannot integrate offline & online data. CDPs on the other hand, support a full range of customer data, such as customer acquisitions via organic and inorganic digital channels.
CDP vs. DMP
DMP (Data Management Platform)
- Mostly collects 3rd party data, and cannot create consistent customer profiles.
- Used primarily for advertising purposes, not for the entire customer journey.
- Unlike CDPs that can keep and build data over a period of time, DMPs hold onto data for shorter periods of time to target ads and build similar audiences.
- CDPs and DMPs can complement each other in a marketing tech stack rather than overriding each other.
CDP vs. PE
PE (Personalization Engine)
- Like CDPs, PEs are also geared towards marketers and are built to help with personalization efforts
- They personalize marketing efforts across channels (websites, apps, email and social channels) with audience insights and defined targets.
- PEs are specialized in deploying personalization campaigns like pushing dynamic content, triggering automated email flows among others.
- While a CDP brings together and organizes data, and gives valuable insight for personalization, it does not directly activate personalization campaigns.
- CDPs and PEs can be used together as complementary tools.
