Data Onboarding

  • Pinpoint’s Thinkalike® services are tailored to each client based upon the unique personality characteristics of a given store or set of products.Therefore we require an anonymized set of clients’ customer IDs for analysis, and the onboarding process depends upon whether a client works with us via a Pinpoint eCommerce platform app or via a direct engagement with our OnPoint services.

  • Our goal is to continue adding app support for more platforms and additional use cases, making onboarding and activation ever more turn-key for clients.While our Shopper Personality app is live for Shopify, and BigCommerce is in the works, we would really appreciate your input on additional platform support priorities.  Please let us know your needs at sales@pinpointpredictive.com – thanks!

 

Data Analysis

  • Once your high-value audience(s) have been defined, Pinpoint’s analyses proceed as follows:
  1. Client data is de-identified, removing all personally identifiable information (“PII”)
  2. Your de-identified audiences are compared to Pinpoint’s proprietary first-party personality data on >250M U.S. adults (which has followed the same patent-pending de-identification process)
  3. We evaluate the personality characteristics for your audience(s) and measure their 35 representative Facets and Factors in aggregate
  4. Finally, we compare your audience(s) to the broader U.S. adult population and surface the 7 Facets that most distinguish them – this is your Actionable Insights chart
  • Our analysis process is computationally intensive, so unfortunately it does time.In almost all cases though, our clients have detailed Facet & Factor information and Actionable Insights within 24 hours.
  • Where these results are surfaced, and how best to interpret them, depends upon whether you are working with us via an eCommerce platform app or via a direct engagement.
