Is your e-commerce ready for a Customer Data Platform?

E-commerce marketing can sometimes feel like stumbling in the dark.

You have tens of tools telling you a different story, and making sense of all the data you collect can easily become overwhelming.

At the same time, when we’re talking about customers, we hardly ever differentiate between them. This means that we see every customer as equals, even though some might be much more profitable and valuable for your business than others.

In its essence, Custimy helps e-commerce brands collect, analyse and make sense of all your customer data and give it back to you in the form of actionable insights you can use to make marketing that increases your customer experience and brings you more profit.

Custimy is made for ease of use. All the complexity happens in the backend, leaving you with simple, yet powerful marketing actions to take. ‍

Uncover your best customers and reach those most similar to them. 

We’ve all felt it: you’re about to run a new acquisition campaign targeting new customers with awesome creatives and great copywriting… But you leave your targeting up to Facebook.

Now, while Facebook is good at finding people that want to buy your products, it gets exponentially better if you feed it with high quality data about who your target audience is. 

Well, Custimy can help you do just that. 

Using Custimy segments for your targeting

By segmenting your customer base, Custimy divides them into 8 distinct groups.

You can easily use these segments in your marketing. 

For example, the segment “Most Valuable Customers” which will be your customers that buy the most, are frequent shoppers, and have low return rates.

You now push this segment to Facebook, and tell it to find people similar to this segment, using Facebook’s lookalike audience feature.

The best thing? It’s proven to work. See how ABENA achieved 12x more conversions using Custimy Segments in their Facebook advertising.

Reach out to your customers, at the right time, with the right products. 

A very important part of marketing is communicating with a person at the right time. Luckily this is where our AI comes in handy.

Custimy analyzes all your customer's behavior, and summarises its outcomes in three metrics:

• Propensity to Buy: A percentage number showing a customer’s likeliness of purchasing at your store in the next 30 days
• Probability of Churn: A percentage number showing a customer’s likeliness of churning at your store in the next 30 days
• Predicted Yearly Revenue: How much revenue a specific customer is spending at your store the next year.

The smart thing is, you can create your own custom audiences with these numbers.

So you can easily create an audience with every customer that has the highest chance of purchasing and send them an email. Maybe automate it, so that this is done automatically in the background when a new customer joins the audience.

In marketing, it's also crucial to know which products to advertise. With Custimy, you receive product recommendations that help you identify the products most likely to be sold to each customer
