CustomerPulse

CustomerPulse enriches any segment (1st party or prospect segments) and profiles customers across 5,000+ Zeta attributes to retain and grow your existing base and reach new customers who are most likely to engage with you. The report provides insights on demographics, psychographics, online content consumption, transactions, visitation, financial & household, CTV, and Linear TV. Simply put, CustomerPulse allows clients to:
Segment and analyze a variety of audience segments from prospects to first-party customer data

Once you’ve created an audience segment, contact your account team to add the segment(s) to CustomerPulse.

Question | Answer |
---|---|
Are these lookbacks customizable, e.g., does Zeta retain historical data that we can access with this tool? | Lookbacks in CustomerPulse are not customizable, but Leading Indicators, another Opportunity Explorer report, has more flexibility for viewing historical data. |
For a Customer Pulse segment, will the data six months from now reflect the prior 3 months, or July/August/September 2023 in perpetuity? | The members of the segment itself will change over time as new users are added to that segment, but the insights generated in the CustomerPulse will not update over time. The insights shown are relative to when the analysis was run. If you'd like to get regularly refreshed insights for this segment, we can schedule the CustomerPulse to run on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly frequency. |
