Customer data will drive business growth going into the future, but as third-party cookies continue to decline, brands are looking for ways to equip themselves with first-party data to re-market effectively. But is collecting first-party customer data that easy?
Nearly half of marketing leaders say they are not adequately leveraging first-party data sources in their marketing decision-making, according to a recent Forrester study commissioned by Eyeota.
Product Warranty Registrations - a process by which customers of a product can register their warranty with the brand to automate their claims process, is an amazing opportunity to collect first-party customer data.
Customers are often excited about new purchases and are extra cautious to set up all the necessary documentation. Having an easy digital warranty registration software to take advantage of this can skyrocket customer data acquisition.

When customers register with your brand, they provide their contact information and other details that help you better understand them and their needs.

3. Digital warranty management software helps you maintain a record of all products which your customers buy, making warranty registrations and claims extremely simple.
