Leveraging Consumer Data Proves To Be More Valuable Than Oil Itself

Prior to eruption of smart phones and the omniscience of the internet, data just wasn’t a sought after commodity. Now, in today’s technology boom, consumer data has become one of the most precious resources as a business owner.

Given the latest COVID isolation mandates and closures, turning to consumer data trends as you shift your marketing angles could be the lifeline to rejuvenate your marketing and sales.

Originally written in 2017 for the Economist, this article featured the headline, "The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data”.

Data Bridges the Gap

This was introducing the “data economy”… now, we are in the heat of it.

Retail suffers, even before the COVID isolation, due to the convenience and thriftiness of online shopping.

And now, with the extraction of more and more data from the consumers, online data companies become even more powerful simply by targeting specific demographics and likely buyers with products they didn’t even know they wanted or needed.

So, what does that mean for companies that aren’t capturing or leveraging their future consumer’s data?

It is similar to running a magazine ad and hoping your perfect buyer reads that magazine.
