Zach Everett’s Insightful Dive into 1st Party Data

One of the most anticipated segments of the event was led by Zach Everett, the E-commerce Team Lead at SmartSites. His focus was on a critical aspect of modern e-commerce: leveraging 1st party data.

Understanding Your Valuable Customers

Zach’s primary message revolved around a potent statistic: approximately 80% of your business revenue comes from just 20% of your customers. Understanding and catering to this segment becomes paramount.

Diving deeper, he emphasized the importance of segmenting customers based on interests and purchasing behaviors.

“Customer segmentation enables businesses to create tailored experiences and offers, boosting customer lifetime value.” – Zach Everett.

The Power of Rich Audience Data

His strategy revolves around using rich audience data to prospect new users and guide them into a high-value funnel. The goal is to convert them into the ‘20% segment’ that drives the majority of the revenue.

Tools and Platforms

Zach notes the importance of various platforms and specifically recommends:

• Facebook’s Lookalike Audiences
• Google Analytics’ Imported Remarketing Lists
• Microsoft’s Imported Remarketing Audiences

Each of these tools, when effectively deployed, can play a pivotal role in harnessing the power of 1st party data.
