Data Overload

In a nation "awash" with data, we often don't have the correct knowledge or it is often too cumbersome to sift through and make any intelligent marketing decisions.

A marketing client of mine showed me a fancy report filled with alot of data elements and statistics that were very impressive. I asked him what were the action steps he was going to take as a result of all of this intelligence. He wasn't really sure because the data was presented in a format that was too confusing. While the report cost a lot of money and certainly had plentiful data,there was no one there to advise them on what steps to take; or how to "connect the dots".

If you need help with your marketing database, make sure you have good information, but be certain to have an action plan on how to move forward with the intelligence gleaned from the analysis. If the information is too detailed or irrelevant, it will be a colossal waste of your company's resources.
