Not all customer problems are equal, however, many businesses that offer stellar solutions to huge, real-world issues fail.
Why?
“Cost and marketing” is a frequent reason. The truth is, many intelligent companies find customer pain points and sell their service or product as a solution to them.
But how do you identify and act upon customer pain points?
By using customer data.
An example is integrating customer surveys into your marketing strategy.
Through directly asking your customers what they dislike about your products/services and extensive experimentation, you will know how to tailor your offering to best suit their needs.
Additionally, there are data out there like reports, review sites, scholarly articles that have analyzed a ton of information for you to use.
2. Understanding Customer Buying Behaviour
Buying behaviour goes beyond what they buy from your business.
It’s the intimate observation of their entire buyer journey from when the have a need for your service to their research and making the final decision to buy from your brand.
A cool way we do this for our clients is by integrating Google Analytics on every website we design.
This helps our clients understand what keywords and channels visitors use to find their website, what pages they visit the most and more.
Using this data, out clients are able to personalize their marketing offerings better for the future.

By analyzing large amounts of this customer data your business can respond quicker and more accurately to the pressing needs of your customers.
This is where an efficient website comes in handy as it will be able to collect the information you need to help your customer every step of the way.
