The landscape of B2B marketing is constantly evolving. Businesses are looking for different ways to maximize their return on investment (ROI) while making sure that their strategies are data-driven, efficient and sustainable. 

Businesses have understood that relying on third-party data can create multiple problems, which might lead to the damage of brand reputation and credibility of the business.  The key to driving a successful marketing campaign is to leverage first-party intelligence, where real connections fuel real results, and your marketing ROI finally reflects your effort.

The Rise of First-Party Intelligence in B2B 

First-party intelligence is the data and insights collected directly from the audience by the businesses through their own channels, engagement and verified interactions.  It is collected while making sure that all the processes of data collection are compliant. 

This is overtaking the third-party data, which is basically the data that is purchased from the external vendors.  First-party data aims to drive more conversions and a higher return on investment. 

At Vereigen Media, first-party data is the cornerstone of demand generation. We ensure that every lead is genuine, verified, and ready to convert. By leveraging First-party data businesses can: 

• Improve the targeting precision. 

• Personalize customer experiences. 

• Improve lead conversion rates. 

• Optimize their marketing spend. 

• Stay compliant. 

Unlike third-party data, which is inaccurate and outdated, first-party data provides real-time actionable insights, which lead to better marketing performance. 

What Made First-Party Data Better Than The Rest?

When you are using third-party data for your marketing campaigns, you are only hoping for good-quality and accurate leads, but it’s just a guessing and hoping game. This results in wasted marketing budget, missed opportunities, and unstable sales pipeline.   

Whereas First-party data provides,-

• Higher accuracy, because you are tracking real-time interactions with your own content. 

• Better engagement, because the leads have already engaged with your content, and when you follow up, it doesn’t look like a cold outreach. 

• Stronger compliance, because the leads are collected by following all the data privacy rules and regulations like GDPR and CCPA.

Making A Shift Towards First-Party Intelligence 

Businesses struggle to get the ideal ROI on marketing because they rely on third-party data, which is often inaccurate and outdated. Moving towards first-party party is easy, and here’s how you can get started:
