On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Michael Vadini, Founder & CEO of Glew.io - an eCommerce Analytics and Business Intelligence platform founded in 2014. Glew makes it easy to analyse key data points and make decisions that positively impact your bottom line.

Almost every interaction of an online business generates a data point. It is also possible to get your hands on all this data. You are looking at data from your products, traffic, ads, social media, cart, blogs and accounting apps to name a few. It is said that the average online business has no fewer than 26 sources of data. Even for a seasoned data analyst, getting actionable insights from such disparate data is no easy task. As a result, (too) many businesses don’t leverage the data they have to make more informed decisions.

Almost every business owner or marketer knows of terms like Average Order Value (AOV), Lifetime Value (LTV) and Cost of Acquisition (CAC). These are the buzzwords that dictate business strategy and ultimately success or failure. Getting accurate reports on these metrics is easier said than done. This is where platforms like Glew come in. With over 95 integrations (and counting), you can harness the power of all your data and boost profitability of your business.

In today’s episode Kunle and Michael discuss the evolution of Glew and how it helps businesses solve the riddle of their data. This is a great episode for businesses of all sizes!

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Aadith Moorthy, Founder & CEO of Radial, a 1-year old Deep learning & AI startup based in the San Francisco Bay area . Aadith is a Stanford Knight-Hennessy Scholar, and shares his insights about the future of 1:1 personalisation.

Picture this: You walk into a big store which has all sorts of products. But instead of having to browse all the aisles to find what you want, what if all the products you are likely to be interested in are neatly arranged in a special rack just for you? That is the potential power of using AI and Psychographics in eCommerce.

Whether you are on social media or Netflix or Amazon. The content you see is personalised to your history, interests and other data points, and it is meant to predict what you are likely to see and buy. 1:1 personalisation is here to stay, and is going to get more and more integrated in all external interactions we have. It is the future of targeting your customers and increasing sales.

In this episode, you will get to understand how Psychographics are built and used to personalise content and increase sales. Tune in to get a sneak peek at the future of personalisation and targeting for DTC and eCommerce brands.
