Challenge	For any business, identifying and engaging the right audience on social media platforms is a complex task. The challenge is not just to find the audience but also to persuade them to visit the website, make a purchase, or sign up for a newsletter.

This fragmentation of data leads to a decrease in productivity and an increase in the chances of duplicate information in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Four eCommerce businesses were facing these challenges and were looking for a solution that could help them connect with their customers more effectively and manage their data more efficiently.
