How to use Customer Analytics and Customer Data Platform Tools to create a Unified Customer View?

Context:

Background:
As a Growth Consultant, you're approached by a burgeoning e-commerce platform that specializes in eco-friendly products. The platform has seen steady growth but is now looking to significantly boost its user engagement and retention rates. The current analytics setup provides basic user activity insights but lacks depth in understanding customer behavior and personalizing user experiences.

However, the integration between different data sources is minimal, leading to fragmented customer views and missed opportunities for personalized marketing.



Overall Objective:

Your task is to guide the e-commerce platform in developing a more sophisticated growth stack by incorporating advanced customer analytics tools, like CleverTap, and integrating a Customer Data Platform (CDP) like Segment. The goal is to achieve a unified customer view that enables targeted marketing strategies, personalized user experiences, and ultimately, higher engagement and retention rates.
