The use of third-party data has steadily decreased and is being replaced by democratized first-party data strategies — putting e-commerce businesses at risk of losing years of data. How can you keep your company from losing valuable consumer data?
Democratizing allows e-commerce businesses to control their data rather than relying on external platforms to store gathered information. Implementing resources for data ownership protects your company from losing insight into website traffic and other consumer activity. Sean Larkin, an experienced technologist, recommends that e-commerce business owners install first-party tools to funnel information to a data warehouse where your collected material is stored safely.
