Question

QuickGuide #05: Visitor Registration Fields - Enriching the Visitor Profile

Answer

Visitor Registration Fields
Key Details:

  • Included as part of the Multichannel Import Bundle which includes 3 solutions: Data Extensions Multichannel and Visitor Registration Fields.
  • The Visitor Registration Fields Import Solution provides the opportunity to import legacy customer attribute data to help create a richer visitor profile (Age gender income etc).
  • Can import pre-set data fields? (age gender income) and up to 50 ?offline? attributes
Worked Example: The business would like to import the ?Age? ?Gender? and ?Marital Status? for each existing Registration ID.

Configuration of the Visitor Registration Field Import involves:
  • Configuration of settings: Including setting SFTP details
  • Creating the template: Selecting the delimiter (comma tab or pipe) and up to 50 fields for importing (?Date ID? and ?Registration ID? are preconfigured fields which cannot be amended)
  • Populating template & Uploading: Downloading the newly created template and populating it with the visitor data as per the fields selected in the template before uploading via the Import tool
[E.g. The business will need to use ?Registration ID? as the KEY as this will help tie data from the import to the already collected registration tag data. They imported in ?Age? ?Gender? and ?Marital Status?.


Reporting:
Imported data will be processed overnight and available for reporting within Explore the next day.
  • Aliasing: An administrator will need to apply an alias (meaningful name) to each attribute field that has been sent within the import file.?
  • Explore Reporting: You can now select the imported and aliased field as a ?display column?.
    [E.g. The business can now run Explore reports bringing in 2 imported attributes along with ?Registration ID? as display columns (maximum of 3 display columns permitted in a Flat list report)
    Example below would provide you with the age and gender of each recognised Registration ID

Business Value:
  • By creating a richer profile for each customer a business can gain deeper insight into purchasing behaviors product popularity spending habits and marketing effectiveness for specific segments of their customer base.
Additional Business Use Case Examples:
  • Importing in a list of the ?loyalty card numbers? for each customer email address (which is also collected as the Registration ID) allowing the business to create a richer picture of all purchases made by this single customer to help reward loyalty and spend.
