It is important to remember that the term “insight” is not to be used in conjunction with raw data or general knowledge. Insight is a way to better know the current and future needs of buyers, allow for informed decisions regarding growth strategies and identify opportunities for innovation.
Insights allow resource optimization by focusing on areas with the greatest potential, and eliminating waste from less promising areas. They also aid in benchmarking performance against industry standards and competition and allow companies to improve their practices over time. By uncovering trends and forecasting future trends data can aid in planning long-term plans.

For instance, if your business sells power tools, it might be sensible to advertise your products in the home improvement stores or to general contractors.
