In an increasingly digitized world, it is necessary to have as complete and up-to-date a view as possible of the scenarios around us, and both marketanalysis andcompetitor analysis are necessary actions if decisions are to be made that will lead to increased revenue.
If you are an entrepreneur or business executive and do not yet know the power of big data, get ready to discover a new world, full of benefits and opportunities.
In this article, in fact, we will explain how it can change your business through the wise use of online data.
What is big data: here is a simple explanation
In any type of business, the primary goal is always the same: to develop progressive revenue improvement.
It is the desire of every entrepreneur.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to better plan marketing strategies and offer products or services that meet the needs of an increasingly demanding customer base.
Which, since the Internet has given a mighty shove to old patterns and gained a central role in people’s lives, is a very complicated task if proper support is not employed.
Big data embodies exactly this role.
But what is big data?
We could say that everything that happens online becomes “big data.”
Every action performed on the Web, every second, by millions of people involves the creation of new data: from a simple click on a link to a reaction or comment on Facebook, from a Google search to a review on a forum, everything people do online leaves a trace of themselves.
These data have very important characteristics in relation to business:
- have an insane update rate, as new ones are generated all the time;
- Are available in large volumes;
- Have different formats.

Another very important peculiarity is their veracity: all the data generated by people’s actions express without possibility of error their thoughts about a wide variety of issues.
All of this, of course, is an asset for companies.
Let’s see why.
What big data is for and why it matters
Since on the Web people feel free to sincerely express their opinions, problems, anxieties, needs, joys and desires, can you imagine what value their knowledge might have for a company?
Imagine that you need to launch a marketing campaign for a new product: before planning such an operation, it is important to have references and indications about the target audience you are addressing and the actions (both successful and unsuccessful) carried out by your competitors.
Obtaining this information requires market surveys and study of competitors, but since traditional methods are as outdated as ever at this time in history, resorting to them does not provide enough information to act with absolute certainty.
Through big data analysis, on the other hand, it is possible to have information that is always up-to-date and refers exclusively to a specific target audience.
Targeted market research and constantcompetitor analysis allow you to keep tabs on your target market and track its progress throughout the months.
The natural consequence of these actions is the ability to consciously devise business strategies and develop effective advertising campaigns through knowledge of current trends.
Of course, complex tools and specific professional skills are required to access and study these data in depth.
