Data onboarding is rapidly becoming the preferred alternative to cookie “intender” segments. The process of onboarding CRM customer files, prospect lists, emails, or website visitors from offline to online — or vice-versa — too often results in low match rates, high onboarding fees, and little to no transparency to the audience you target.
And the challenge of match rates doesn’t end there.
In a world that is rapidly transforming into a mobile-dominated culture, it is critical to establish a transparent mobile connection to individuals and business decision-makers. Zenith recently forecasted that mobile will account for 60% of all Internet advertising by 2018 and 79% of all Internet use.
An effective cross-device strategy is necessary for campaign success. Any process for mobile device onboarding requires an infrastructure designed to support a common ID across all offline and online platforms. With all this information at our fingertips, it’s clear you can’t execute an omni-channel campaign effectively if you can’t transparently link your prospect lists and CRM profiles at an 80-90% match rate to multiple digital delivery points.
