For brands and retailers, information is also a game-changer. Retail data analytics can help companies stay abreast of the shopping trends by applying customer analytics to uncover, interpret, and act on meaningful data insights, including online shopper and in-store patterns.
The retailers—both offline and online—are adopting the data-first strategy towards understanding the buying behavior of their customers, mapping them to products, and planning marketing strategies to sell their products to register increased profits.
Big Data analytics is now being applied at every step of the retail process - right from predicting the popular products to identifying the customers who are likely to be interested in these products and what to sell them next.
