What is Data driven marketing?
Data driven marketing is a process by which marketers gain insights and trends based on in-depth analysis informed by numbers. It helps you to identify specific content that is leading prospects through your sales funnel. This helps you determine exactly where your time and budget should be spent.

Types of data driven marketing.
The universe of data-driven marketing is vast, but there are essentially two types of data used in marketing: contact information and performance metrics. Capturing contact information allows marketers to track potential customers and target them through emails, paid social, other digital tactics, and even potentially phone calls or direct mail, such as catalogs. Tracking performance metrics allows marketers to improve and refine marketing activities to more effectively reach high-value prospects.
