    • Nielsens account managers are amazing. I could brag about my account rep forever.
    • Get onsight training, it helps the process start at lightspeed.
    • Importing external information into consumerpoint is tricky, but super fast once it is learned. I'm pretty tech saavy and I did it wrong initially. Formatting is finicky. That's part of why the onsight training is so great.

    Hitwise is best suited for looking at overall traffic behavior or a site or industry. It will help you quickly identify the where and the what when it comes to consumer behavior (i.e. what are they doing before they visit your site, where are they going after). It tells you a lot about who they are and what sparks the initial trigger. Where it isn't super appropriate is when you need to look at a specific term like "are eggs healthy" and you can't identify where that specific term falls in the overall "egg" searches.

    Cons
    Claritas
    • I would like better projections for micromarkets, such as non US Census metro areas.
    • Organic segmentation can be very time consuming, but it always is.

    It can be expensive, but the strategic insights you get from it are unreal. It is one of those products that we now wonder what we did without it. Segmentation is a must in whatever business and PRISM makes it significantly easier. We reviewed several synthetic and organic segmentation methods, including ESRI and k means clustering analysis, and PRIZM is by far the best.

    Selected Hitwise because it is much better for insights on small-scale websites

    Return on Investment
    Claritas
    • Definitely a return on investment. We have been able to make much better use of our media buys. We have seen conversion rates skyrocket because of the targeting we were able to do.
    • Our media buys were much more cost efffective. An example is the TV listing pages of the newspaper was cheaper than the front page for certain segments.
    • It has helped support expansion into a new market for our health insurance products.
    • We are able to design products based on the populations needs and behaviors rather than what someone heard.
    • We were also able to map risky health behaviors across our service area and target the unhealthy by zip code.
