Before the rise of the Internet, businesses knew who they were selling their products to. Their pool of potential customers was mainly limited by physical factors and was, most likely, homogenous because of it. Media channels were few and the marketing and selling barriers between company and customer were thin. There was very little story to tell because there was very little real-time data collected.
Now companies can sell to anyone anywhere at any time, which has led to the complicated challenge of figuring out who your potential customers are, where they live, what they like, etc. A new level of analytic fluency must be mastered in order to build a more complete picture of these customers. More data is needed to help you tell these new, more complex stories.
Data that is alive - that tells a story from start to finish - centers on what you collect and how you analyze it. Sitecore AIDA is marketing performance optimization technology that simultaneously collects, evaluates, manages, and analyzes customer intelligence from patterns, behaviors, and decisions gathered across multiple digital channels.
