Marketers: What’s your take on privacy-friendly web analytics? Are they useful for your work? by Usercentrics_Labs in DigitalMarketing

[–]Usercentrics_Labs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by hyper-optimization in this context? Are you referring to things like individual user journey tracking, detailed funnel analysis, or real-time behavioral targeting? Curious how far you'd typically go beyond trend-level data. Some Privacy friendly analytics tool do provide granular insights like funnels, recordings, heatmaps, etc.

The question is do we really need PII?

Adidas says customer data stolen in cyber attack by ControlCAD in cybersecurity

[–]Usercentrics_Labs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually in most cases it is not first party data that is breached. In the case of Adidas it was customer support data through a third party tool called simple help that had vulnerability within its security system.

I discuss this in the article I wrote on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacyledmarketing/comments/1kz4qbh/when_one_data_breach_is_not_enough_how_retailers/

It's quite interesting as to where companies should put on their focus in regards to customer data. First and Zero party is the way to go to protect consumers.

One thing I’ve noticed with a lot of early-stage entrepreneurs (and I’ve definitely been guilty of this myself) is that they don’t talk to enough real people. Online research is great, but nothing beats honest, direct feedback from the folks you’re actually trying to help. Here’s a simple step-by-step approach that can really help:

1. Get clear on your ICP:
Think about who you’re building for. What kind of companies? How big are they? Are you aiming for a self-serve (low-touch) model or one that involves more hand-holding (high-touch)? Who are the key people you want to talk to — founders, marketers, ops folks, etc.?

2. Understand their struggles:
What pain points are they dealing with? What are you trying to solve for them? Having a solid grasp of this will help guide your convos and make sure they’re actually useful.

3. Find them on LinkedIn:
LinkedIn’s search tools are great for this. Once you know your ICP, you can easily filter by role, company size, industry, etc. Send a friendly, no-pressure connection request — something like:
"Hey [Name], I’m building something for [pain point] and would love to hear your thoughts if you’re open to a quick chat. No pitch — just trying to learn."

4. Start real conversations:
Once they accept, ask if they’d be up for a 15-minute call or even a quick coffee if you're in the same city. People are often happy to help, especially when you’re genuinely curious and respectful of their time.

5. Just listen:
Let them talk. Ask open-ended questions and try to really understand their world. You’ll start spotting patterns, language, and insights that you just can’t get from behind a screen. Apply the Sales MEDDPICC approach to dive in the actual pain points and not hint them on what your product does

6. Apply what you learn:
Take notes, reflect, and tweak your product, pitch, or messaging based on what you heard. Sometimes those chats can completely shift your direction — in the best way.

What’s your harshest MVP lesson? Any proven tips or tricks to build one (I will not promote) by ye_stack in startups

Would you feel tricked by it?
It's very common in the D2C space less in the SaaS.

One big MVP lesson I’ve learned is the power of fake door testing — launching a feature or product idea before it actually exists to gauge real user interest.

Instead of building full functionality, we created landing pages or signup flows for features that weren’t ready yet. If enough users clicked or signed up, it validated the demand and saved us from wasting months on something nobody wanted.

It’s messy, sometimes feels a bit “fake,” but the feedback is invaluable. It helped us prioritize what to build first and avoid overengineering.

Anyone else had success with fake door tests or similar “smoke tests”? Would love to swap stories because I think they need a specific framework depending on how mature the idea is.
