I would like to know how do you incorporate consumer insights in your marketing strategy and plan? Do you incorporate data from Comscore and Nielsen and then use these metrics to convert into actionable insights? Why plan if consumers may not be interested in the product or services?

As raised, the practical step is to start from the decision you need to make, not from a data vendor. Define one clear outcome (for example: improve first-week retention, lift trial-to-paid conversion, or reduce cost per acquisition). That outcome determines which behavioral signals and qualitative checks matter. For small teams, a tight, repeatable process will produce more usable insight than chasing every available report.

  1. Pick the decision and a single KPI to move.
  2. Map available signals (product events, funnel conversion, referral rate, short customer interviews).
  3. Design a rapid, low-cost test that isolates one variable (A/B landing page, pricing experiment, messaging validation).
  4. Predefine action rules (what counts as success, when to scale, when to iterate or stop).

As noted, real customer feedback powers word of mouth, so combine quantitative tests with brief interviews to explain why a change works. Watch for common traps: overvaluing vanity metrics, drawing conclusions from tiny or biased samples, and failing to segment results. Plan so you can run fast validation cycles — planning is not an attempt to predict demand perfectly, it is a way to structure tests that let you find out quickly and cheaply.

The majority of advertising firms have dedicated insights/analytics division. So as small business owners, we should pay attention to the big companies and incorporate insights in our marketing strategy and plan.

The consumer feedback directly affects market signals with the possibility of word of mouth and hence it add value to actionable insights of your marketing strategy.
