Consumer Data Landscape 2025: Leverage 3rd party transactional data to better inform strategic business decisions

We are facing a new frontier of consumer data.  New technologies and processes mean that retailers have access not just to data on what their consumers do within their own brand, but how customers behave and shop outside of their digital or physical doors. In this session, we’ll dissect real-world examples from experts at Walmart, Cracker Barrel and Bain consulting who have successfully integrated 3rd party data with 1st party data to gain more complete and accurate insights into consumer behavior that drive growth.
