Today, brands and businesses rely on two data points to understand their target audience: psychographics and behavioral analytics.
Psychographics is focused on collecting and analyzing the characteristics of an audience, the intangible, such as interests, habits, opinions, lifestyle, attitudes, emotions, and preferences. Psychographics are thought to help explain why people buy.
Behavioral analytics is focused on how buyers act and why. These insights are the result of tracking behavior online and includes eCommerce platforms, online gaming, web, and mobile applications and can be very effective in predicting future behaviors.
