View the Market-level and Customer-level Frames of Insights
To find opportunities, there are 2 frames of insight: market and customer to guide a client’s marketing efforts. View the market-level and customer-level frames of insights.
Market-Level Insights | Customer-Level Insights |
|---|---|
Market-level insights are provided without any client’s 1st party data and are used to display macro-level trends across products and competitors to identify the best point in time to engage with consumers. Each report starts with a specific context in mind and will display information from that context. These reports can be used to find new prospecting opportunities or applied to your existing campaigns. | Customer opportunities take market insights to the next level by applying these insights to your customer lists. To uncover customer-level insights, a pixel is placed on the client’s website, or CRM data is needed. Customer insights enrich a client’s 1st party data with Zeta’s massive proprietary data set to gain deeper insight into a client’s customers. This insight can be used to generate matched audiences in which a client’s 1st party data is matched back up to the data cloud as well as for lookalike audiences which can be used to help a client find new customers that demonstrate similar characteristics as their best customers. |
