For example, suppose your local nail salon has received various reviews emphasizing long wait times. In that case, your business can include a CTA to book an appointment on your local listings and promote social content that encourages customers to book an appointment.

According to David, the formal CDP Institute definition of a customer data platform is, “packaged software that builds a persistent unified customer database that’s accessible to other systems.” <br>‘Packaged’ software means it’s something you ‘buy’, it is not a data warehouse or a data lake that you typically ‘build’ as a custom project. <br>“Unified persistent customer database has multiple components to it,” David says, “It’s unified as it takes in data from all sources.

To know what type of customer data platform you need, you must define your goals and objectives clearly. Start with defining your short-term and long-term strategies for delivering customer experiences. What types of experiences do you want to provide, and what types of data and content are required? Where does the data you need currently reside? How can a CDP help you create these experiences, and what technologies will it need to integrate with to do that? <br>One of the easiest ways to help clarify the right CDP is to define a series of use cases that outline how you will use the CDP and the value you expect to receive from it.
