Learn more about the benefits in our blog post Why You Need a CDP.
Data CDP
Centralized Data for Personalized Marketing Strategies: A Data CDP is a centralized database that collects customer data from various sources, links it to a customer profile and makes it available for use in external systems. This enables personalized marketing strategies and stronger customer relationships. This is the minimum functionality required to meet the definition of a CDP.
Analytics CDP
Identify and Fulfill Customer Needs with an Analytics CDP: An Analytics CDP helps businesses gain valuable insights into customer behavior by not only consolidating customer data from various sources but also offering advanced analytics capabilities. This type of CDP provides functionalities such as data aggregation, data analysis, segmentation and dashboards, offering deep insights into customer behavior and preferences.
Campaign CDP
Personalized Campaigns Made Easy: In addition to analytics capabilities, Campaign CDPs offer extensive options for directly engaging with customers. A Campaign CDP is especially useful for businesses looking to run personalized marketing campaigns, as it helps boost customer loyalty and revenue. These capabilities range from personalized messages and newsletters to real-time interactions on websites, product recommendations in online stores and complex marketing campaigns based on customer data and segmentation.
Delivery CDP
The All-in-One Solution for Successful Omnichannel Strategies and Coordination of Customer Interactions Across All Channels: The Delivery CDP combines the best of both Analytics CDP and Campaign CDP worlds! Additionally, the Delivery CDP offers native integration options for marketing channels, enabling true omnichannel communication. Omnichannel experiences can also be implemented through an integrated delivery logic that spans email, websites, mobile apps, CRM, social ads or combinations of these channels. Such solutions can help replace existing siloed systems and streamline processes.
A CDP for All Need
A Delivery CDP that we work with at diva-e is the Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) in conjunction with Customer Journey Analytics, Adobe Target and Adobe Journey Optimizer. This comprehensive solution enables businesses to execute a successful omnichannel strategy by seamlessly integrating and coordinating various marketing and sales channels within a central data platform. This creates consistent and personalized customer experiences across all channels, leading to higher customer satisfaction and significantly impacting business success.
Ultimately, the right CDP for a business depends on its specific use case. In a joint discovery workshop, we can help you identify which CDP best suits your needs. The opportunity to elevate your marketing to the next level is just one click away!
