This will drive personalization, increase customer lifetime value, and cultivate a loyal, engaged customer base.
Key takeaways:
Observed four times a year on the third Thursday of every quarter, Get to Know Your Customers Day encourages businesses to actively engage with their customers to foster a deeper understanding of their needs and preferences. But smart marketers know that this practice shouldn’t be limited to just once a quarter. Every marketing endeavor should start with the customer. So, begin marketing with understanding the customer by diving into their data.

Getting to Know Your Customers Starts with Their Data
To truly understand your customers’ needs and desires, you have to start with their data and let it drive each and every marketing effort. This is what we mean by Customer-Led Marketing, which has been proven to deliver brands an average increase of 33% in customer lifetime value.
Getting to know your customers doesn’t require an upheaval of your current strategies. Instead, it’s about recognizing the potential within your existing data. The data collected from your loyal customers is a goldmine because it contains valuable behavioral, transactional, sociographic, and browsing data information. Tapping into this data allows for highly accurate segmentation, targeting, and personalization — which is what keeps customers (both new and old) coming back for more.
Your existing customers are extremely valuable. According to a cross-vertical study, 60% to 80% of top companies’ revenues come from existing customers. Existing customers also have a 13% higher average transaction value, accounting for 3.7X more monthly transactions than new customers. When you get to know this group by studying their data, it can boost your bottom line.
