Customer Behavior

Customer behavior refers to any action a customer takes related to your brand by engaging with marketing campaigns across channels.

As marketers, we are specifically interested in actions and inactions that we can track and learn from to build relationships. In the mobile world, these behaviors usually indicate some form of engagement, such as views, downloads, opt-ins, or purchases. 

It’s valuable to know what kinds of customer behavior data your CRM and CDP can collect and how you can leverage the information collected to target particular behaviors with personalized marketing campaigns. It’s interesting to find out which interactions and behaviors lead toward completing your goals.
