- Traffic
Prior to the Internet it could be hard for a business to measure how much the average consumer thought about or understood a business. Thanks to websites and the many tracking tools that are available it is very easy for businesses to measure the traffic they receive. Traffic in the general sense can allow a business to better understand the engagement they have with their customers. It tells them how customers prefer to buy, what messaging resonates with them, and the demographic as well as location data. All of this is valuable information for tailoring your product and services to meet consumer needs. This is why marketing is so much more effective now than it is today, as it is much easier to create targeted communications and products.
