MicroStrategy Wisdom Professional Taps into the World's Biggest Focus Group
MicroStrategy Wisdom Professional allows users to analyze a wide array of consumer data, including demographics, brand interests, media interests, activity interests, social connections, location check-ins, and life events. MicroStrategy Wisdom Professional empowers companies to perform the following analyses:
-- Demographic and Psychographic Analysis. Comprehensive view of consumer
populations according to their demographic attributes, their interests
as expressed by "likes" on Facebook, or their activities captured by
Facebook "check-ins." For example, a sports equipment retailer can
generate an Interest profile for males, between the ages of 18 and 45,
who like Nike and Adidas, to determine what music they should be playing
in their stores, what products they should be stocking, and what
services they should be providing, all based on the interests of this
target segment.
-- Geo-Targeting of Fans. View location and density of your fans and your
competitors' fans plotted on a map. For example, a local radio station
can analyze where their fans live, work, and play, and develop local
guerilla marketing promotions based around this intelligence.
-- Brand Interests. Discover your customers' brand preferences, as well as
what they like to read, watch, wear, and much more. Brand or marketing
managers can get comprehensive information about their consumers as well
as their competitors' customers. For example, a convenience store can
research the packaged food brands their fans are interested in and stock
them.
-- Brand Comparisons. Compare two or more brands directly to identify
differences in demographic and psychographic profiles of their fans,
such as Amazon vs. Walmart fans. With this insight, a business is
better equipped to plan the promotional mix for an individual brand or
product line and make better-informed co-marketing, cross-selling,
up-selling, and brand ambassadorship decisions. For example, a product
manager can compare the demographics of their fans with those of their
competitors to determine differences in location, affluence, age,
married status, etc.
-- Audience Research. Analyze audiences for demographic and psychographic
characteristics to understand their interests, demographics and
psychographic make-up. For example, a conference organizer can
determine in which trade magazines to advertise based on the news
preferences of their fans.
-- Psychographic Comparisons. Analyze the interests and demographics of two
or more psychographic groups of consumers to reveal valuable insight on
how to reach each audience with the right marketing messages. Wisdom
Professional contains over 30 pre-defined psychographic groups
representing different consumer types, such as outdoor enthusiasts,
budget shoppers, pet lovers, brand conscious, and so forth.
MicroStrategy Wisdom Professional also integrates third-party data sources, such as U.S. Census data, to derive income estimates and to backfill missing data points. The application includes an "affluence score" that indicates the wealth of any given population segment; an "influence score" that ranks a person's social networking influence; and a "popularity score" that rates a person's social networking popularity.
"MicroStrategy Wisdom Professional is an innovative customer analytics application that provides businesses with a broad spectrum of Facebook profile information, based on our growing Wisdom Network that currently consists of more than 12 million Facebook users," said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy Chief Operating Officer. "Whether you work in marketing, research, product development or sales, MicroStrategy Wisdom Professional empowers businesses to learn about their Facebook consumers so that they can provide more personalized products and services, engage with new customers, and gain a competitive advantage."
