The integration of call centre with the digital platform will create a 360 degree approach of capturing leads via all digital, outdoor and call centre channels.

Data Analytics:
We can’t improve what we can’t measure. The measurement and then the processing followed by analysis is the most important part of any marketing activity. Today with large number of customers and stiff competition, data analysis with a human workforce could be a challenge. An essential component of ensuring data integrity is the accurate and appropriate analysis of research findings. Data Analysis using AI is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical techniques to describe and illustrate, condense and recap and evaluate data. The process of data analysis uses analytical and logical reasoning to gain information from the data. Data analysis has two prominent methods: qualitative research and quantitative research. Each method has their own techniques. Interviews and observations are forms of qualitative research, while experiments and surveys are quantitative research. The main purpose of data analysis is to find meaning in data so that the derived knowledge can be used to make informed decisions. Data collection and analysis tools are defined as a series of charts, maps and diagrams designed to collect, interpret and present data for a wide range of applications and industries.
The data analysis in the case of marketing is first capturing data automatically as mentioned earlier. The captured data is filtered and then converted into leads. These conversions help us to calculate ROI. The marketer’s challenge would always be to improve that ROI. So to improve that, data analysis needs to be done. Data analysis clearly illustrates about which campaigns have given better ROIs than the other campaigns. The optimum usage of budgets and creating maximum ROI is the basic aim for data analysis. With the help of AI tools, the analysis could be much more effective and accurate.
