Most enterprises are focusing on increasing their eCommerce conversions but finding it challenging to accomplish it, because of the increasing competition and lack of zero-party data.
Enterprises that aim to improve their conversion rates need to have more transparency in their customer accounts which means gathering more in-depth client data. Many organizations depend on multiple third-party data trackers to gather more insightful information about their customers. The world is slowly moving towards a cookie-less future because of the latest data privacy changes. CMOs are exploring opportunities to leverage zero-party data to increase the brand awareness of their organization, get valuable insights to make contextual sales conversations, and overcome conversion challenges. However, it can be a challenging task for enterprises that are heavily reliant on gathering data from other sources to collect zero-party data.
Here are a few strategies that CMOs can consider to gather zero-party data for future reference:

Design and Implement a zero-party data strategy
Modern enterprises are leveraging Zero-party data to truly personalize the marketing approach to deliver top-notch customer expectations. By overcoming the limitations of first-party and third-party data, zero-party data enables organizations to explore all the possibilities beyond past behaviors and preferences. Integrating zero-party data will enable marketing teams to determine the clients’ motivations, intentions, and interests behind making a final purchase decision. Instead of focusing on all products and services the customer bought in the past, enterprises need to concentrate on what they have an interest in buying in the future, the intent behind the purchase, which channel they are planning to buy from, and how much budget they are willing to spend. Marketing teams can embrace gathering zero-party data because it is gathered directly from the clients and not through cookies. It is crucial for organizations to offer a value exchange in return for their personal information.
Recommendation Quiz
CMOs can design and implement an online eCommerce recommendation quiz that replaces an in-store assistant that enquires the right questions to understand what products or services will suit them and their needs.
Marketing teams should consider designing a quiz that helps the customers to decide which package to buy. Moreover, this recommendation quiz should help companies to deliver highly segmented email campaigns that improve the conversion rate. It is crucial for organizations to draft effective and relevant questionnaires that help them to gather valuable business insights about their customers and customize the marketing approach accordingly.
Engaging pop-ups
Legacy approaches to designing and deploying pop-ups have become obsolete because they can hamper the user experience. Organizations that aim to improve customer interactions can design and implement conversational pop-ups to increase conversion rates. An effective call-to-action button with engaging content will help businesses to gather zero-party data. Additionally, offering an opt-in approach while gathering customer data helps businesses to deliver increased transparency in the process.
