Data capture is very vital for all types of businesses. let’s find out how Scribbler boosted their database and email list by 10x.
It was 1981, Margaret Thatcher has been in power for two excruciatingly long years already, Charles and Diana have just announced their engagement, Bucks Fizz has won the Eurovision Song contest and Scribbler has just been born!
There are 32 Scribbler stores across the UK that see thousands of customers every day, yet little customer information was gathered until the company partnered with ODICCI to create an offline-online campaign.
Previously, Scribbler used in-store sign-ups/forms requesting email addresses and information, which they had to manually type up themselves.
This was very time consuming and unengaging. So, how did Scribbler capture 10x more email addresses and increase their database by 50% in 4 months using ODICCI?
Scratch cards were distributed in-store along with receipts, if a participant scratched three pugs, they were a winner. To redeem their prize, winners went to the campaign micro-site and registered with their code from their card, and entered their email.
Scribbler is able to track all of the results from the campaign on the ODICCI dashboard in real-time and on a store-by-store basis.
All successful marketing begins with good data — because data drives personalisation, and personalisation drives conversion.
Types of data
Personalisation strategies have traditionally looked at three types of data to work out interests and intents of consumers.
These three well known types of data are: > First-party data is any information that is collected through a direct relationship with a consumer. > Second-party data is data that users are not giving directly, but that brands are obtaining through a direct relationship with another business. > Third-party data is implicit, often outdated, collected by an entity that doesn’t have a direct relationship with consumers (for example cookies, browsing behaviour, credit score, …).
The problem is that a lot of it is based on inferred and observed data. And we know that assumptions are often wrong.
Another problem is data Privacy. Following large data breaches governments introduced tighter regulations. We know The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) here in Europe and more recently the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) this year.
Following these events Forrester introduced the term zero-party data defined as follows:
“Zero-party data is that which a customer intentionally and proactively shares with a brand. It can include purchase intentions, personal context and how the individual wants the brand to recognize her.” – Forrester
Why is zero-party data hot?
As competition grows marketers face increasing pressure to deliver personal experiences to engage.
Zero-party data is considered the most accurate customer data to deliver personalisation at scale because it reflects on current consumer experiences and provides insight into consumer intent.
Marketers rather than relying on perceived or inferred information are directly asking consumers, who are intentionally and proactively sharing in return.
Zero-party data is based on concepts of privacy and value.
Consumers are open to share personal data with brands when they receive better experiences. Brands must in exchange be transparent about how they collect and use the data.
Creating engaging experiences that build trust in the way consumer data is used is the best way to drive true personalisation.
By taking the zero-party data path, marketers build direct relationships with consumers. As a result, marketers better personalise marketing communications and product recommendations.
Value exchange
When collecting zero-party data consumers need to be entertained, engaged, and receive something in return for their attention and personal data. Consumers provide zero-party data as a direct value exchange.
To motivate consumers to intentionally and proactively share their data marketers can use incentive mechanics such as instant wins, exclusive offers, coupons, gifts, loyalty points, …
Successful zero-party data collection is based on interactive conversations and enables consumers to create their own experience while interacting with the brand.
For marketers to succeed they need to create experiences led by inspiring design and empowered by data and technology.
Via interactive content (swipe survey, a personality test, game, playful poll or quiz) brands can collect zero-party data.
For example with a “tinderesque” swipe survey we helped Central England Co-Op collect preferences and interests from their audience.
