It&#8217;s very nature implies that it is relevant for big companies and multi-nationals&#8230; but that&#8217;s no longer true. Data is super important for ALL sizes of business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But what does data mean? Well, to be succinct, it&#8217;s about customer behaviour. What people do &#8211; how they behave when they do business with you, how they engage with you, how they prefer their communications&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Start simple &#8211; install Google Analytics on your website and start analysing the traffic.
