Impact of Duplicate Data on Your Marketing Operations

Data fuels insights, unless it’s wrong!

Duplicate data can befoul database quality, bring down marketing efforts, and get heavy on the pocket, if left untreated. Here’s how duplicates impact your marketing operations.

1. Lack of Single Customer View:

The objective of your MarTech stack is to provide you with a single customer view so that you can know, manage, and engage your customers. If you have duplicate customer records in your database, you’ll never have a clear understanding of your customer’s journey. If you can’t tie your communication and transactions to a single customer, you won’t be able to deliver what customers expect.

2. Inaccurate Lead Scoring:

For marketing teams, the prime goal is to send quality leads to the sales team. Leads sourced from duplicate data will greatly skew results, making for inaccurate quarterly planning of marketing campaigns, and hamper lead conversion.

3. Ineffective Lead Assignment/ Routing:

Duplicate records can be assigned to multiple sales reps, causing confusion in the sales team and a poor customer experience. Also, it can cause slower routing, preventing some leads from qualifying for sales.

4. Increase Costs:

When you have duplicates, you drive up storage costs. It’s not just storage costs, though, it can also hurt your marketing efforts with it. For instance, you might pay more for the design, development, and delivery costs of products (Brochures, books, cards, etc.) to the same recipient multiple times.

5. Hinder Personalization:

It’s no secret that customers expect personalization. Duplicate data can lead to inaccurate personalization. For instance, you have two records for the same customer, one could be from when they first discovered your brand and one from when they were considering making a purchase from you. And the key to success with personalization is that you want to deliver different messages to customers as per their stage in the buying cycle. And when you have duplicate data, it can truly throw a wrench in that effort.

The Importance of Deduping Data to Streamline Your Marketing Efforts

Now that we’ve established how bad data can impact your marketing operations, let’s take a quick look at how deduplication of data can help you streamline your marketing efforts. It can help you:

• Provide clean and reliable data to make informed decisions
• Effectively segment leads & prospects to provide personalized customer experiences
• Improve lead scoring and routing
• Reduce overall cost of data storage and maintenance
