Okendo Connect Launches To Empower Shopify Sellers To Collect Actionable Customer Data

Okendo’s Customer Intelligence Solution Collects Actionable Insights Across The Online Buying Journey

Miami, Sept. 27, 2022 — Okendo, the customer marketing platform for ecommerce brands, today launched its new customer intelligence solution, Okendo Connect. This addition to Okendo’s integrated product suite enables ecommerce brands to collect customer insights at scale so they can deliver more personalized and frictionless commerce experiences.

The launch of Okendo Connect comes as ecommerce brands face a patchwork of complexities, including a shift to a more privacy-centric web, the disruption of traditional targeting strategies, evolving consumer expectations for personalized experiences, and increasing advertising costs. As a result, it’s more important than ever for brands to collect and leverage zero-party data — data that is shared directly and proactively by consumers with the permission to use it for future marketing purposes. Ecommerce brands utilizing zero-party data can fuel more personalized and effective campaigns that build stronger customer connections and scale their business.

“Our mission has always been to help ecommerce brands build stronger customer relationships,” said Matthew Goodman, Co-Founder and CEO of Okendo. “The launch of Okendo Connect is an extension of that mission and further deepens our ability to give brands access to the data they need to get a full view into the journeys their customers are taking while using that insight to scale their businesses.”

Okendo Connect powers zero-party marketing strategies by enabling merchants to engage website visitors and customers at peak moments of engagement. Features include on-site micro-surveys triggered by specific shopper actions or characteristics, post-purchase surveys that enjoy 50%+ response rates, and post-review actions that encourage customers to complete additional actions. In addition, with shareable links to hosted surveys that can be delivered across channels (social, email, SMS), Okendo Connect allows for continuous customer insight collection that yields hyper-relevant targeting and drives maximum response rates.
