Challenges of Customer Database Marketing
1. Process Loads of Data Everyday
Food Businesses need to process thousands of customer data everyday, so that decision makers, owners and managers, can access up-to-date information anytime at will.
2. Extract Valuable Information From Raw Data
Data itself does not contain any meaningful information, but the ability to extract useful and valuable information from the data is essential to run a successful food business. Food Business owners, managers or appointed staff might require training to interpret data into useful information.
For example, it can help categorise your customers into groups and find the best marketing strategy for each group of customers. Hence maximise marketing effectiveness while keeping cost low.
3. Cost
Customer Database marketing is relatively more expensive than other marketing strategy per customer basis. It requires higher personalisation and hence require more time in customer data analysis.
