For the success of a campaign to improve the custom experience, it is important to adapt the information to the needs of the consumer on the basis of Big Data Analytics. For years, online retailers have had the advantage over stationary retailers of being able to track every customer action. With new emerging technologies it is also possible to play out personalized offers and recommendations in the retail trade.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">In order to offer the customer a positive shopping experience instead of driving him away, there are a handful of things that need to be considered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2e31c78 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2e31c78\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c5d0bf\" data-id=\"7c5d0bf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0414ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a0414ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Big_Data_News_Tracking-scaled.jpeg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4fa8fb1 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4fa8fb1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-91c2b7f\" data-id=\"91c2b7f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b5589a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0b5589a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Data collection<\/h3><p>Data collection is a sensitive issue from an ethical point of view.

This is the desired effect when moving from a one-to-many to a one-to-targeted communication model. However, the effect can also go backwards: the customer feels exposed due to targets that are too precise, which does not exactly ensure a sense of well-being.

When reproducing information on digital signage installations, it is not only important to target and convey messages in a healthy mediocre way, but also to provide the customer with added value.
