If your brand is heavily relying on third-party data, it is definitely time to look into other options. Customers are becoming increasingly  more aware of privacy concerns, and regulations around the use of data are tightening. 

Marketers need to be strategizing now for the impending cookiepocolypse. That means learning  what zero-party data is and how to collect it.

What is Zero-party Data? 

Zero-party data is a term that was coined by Forrester in 2020 to describe the type of data willingly given by the customer. So anytime you might have unlocked a discount by inputting your email address, or submitted your phone number when responding to a brand survey, that is you giving a customer zero-party data.

Zero-party data differs from first- or third- party data. First-party data is the information collected through channels and other interactions, like web activity. Third-party data, is collected from an entity, some organization or business, that does not have a direct relationship with consumers. Third-party data is often unreliable and leaves marketers with gaps in truly understanding their customers.

Gathering a holistic understanding of your customers via zero-party data is easier than you think. Let’s explore different ways your brand can collect zero-party data in various marketing efforts. 

Product Registration

Enable your customers to submit product registration data directly into your system of record. Not only would this allow you to increase the number of products registered, but also provides another avenue for collecting data straight from the source.

Surveys

Streamline your customer feedback by using digital experiences for surveying your consumers. Every company needs to measure its net promoter score (NPS) on a regular basis. Your brand can quickly create and launch an NPS customer survey that can be used at key moments in the customer journey. These responses to NPS customer surveys are reliable data points your brand can use to improve the customer experience.
