What is data enrichment?

EnformionGO help center

In simplest terms, data enrichment is when you take your existing data on customers, then utilize a third-party resource to add more data to it. For example, if you currently only have names and phone numbers, you may be able to use a third-party resource to find out an address history. This can be beneficial for many different companies from many different industries.

Data enrichment requires the use of a third-party resource. Customers often give you certain pieces of information on their own but may prefer not to disclose other information. However, if you’re able to utilize a third-party data source, you may get access to that information anyway. It’s important that you trust the quality of that third-party source since you’re likely going to rely on that information fairly heavily.

Why is Data Enrichment Important?

This is typically achieved through a combination of data cleaning, data normalization, and batch appending, as well as the integration of external data sources.Here are some way marketing data enrichment can help your company, and why it is important to utilize when others are:Better customer understanding: Marketing data enrichment allows companies to gain a deeper understanding of their customers by adding data points such as demographic information, purchase history, and behavioral data.
