Stop Assuming & Start Verifying

Verifying Customer Data

Whether you run digital ads or not, you’ve probably heard the term “cookies”. Cookies refer to a small piece of data used to track and store information about the individual who visited your website. They also allow you to target that individual across the internet after they leave your site. We’ve all seen the message “This site uses cookies” when we’ve gone to a new website. This is that business’s way of grabbing your information so they can keep themselves and their products in front of you. Facebook relies heavily on this type of tracking for its advertising revenue.

In an effort to take more of a privacy-driven approach, companies like Google and Apple plan to eliminate the use of 3rd party cookies in the near future. What this basically means is, for businesses who rely on this method to reach their customers, they’re f*cked!

What This Mean to You

Fortunately, you can go straight to the source, your customers. Having direct contact with your customer base gives you access to their cell number, home address, and email. While you may not get them all, you should definitely try.

Data is the new currency, and to some, it’s worth more than Bitcoin. As privacy concerns escalate, it will be harder and harder to come by. That’s why ensuring you have the most accurate and up-to-date contact information for your customers should be your new priority.

What You Should Do

Don’t assume the information you have on file from their last repair or the insurance assignment is correct. What if they’ve moved? Have a new cell number? Or email address? Every interaction is an opportunity to cultivate a contact list worth its weight in gold.

As rules in the digital marketing world continue to change, make sure your marketing strategy includes a plan to remain connected to your customers, despite new privacy policies. Direct mail is still one of the most effective ways of staying connected to our customer base, and no one does it better than PSG.
