Retailers struggle to identify site visitors

Martech

Even established online retailers face significant competition from large discount marketplaces like Temu, Rakuten and, of course, Amazon.

Customer journey maps: What you need to know

Martech

How well does your organization know how customers engage with your brand? Many of us think we know how it works, or more accurately, how we hope it works. But we’re rarely sure. The digital world did little to change this. Attribution and web traffic data aren’t foolproof. Consumers move between devices and online identities. And that makes a thorough understanding of where people come from and where they go online very difficult to understand.
