Personal Shopping Inbox is a new marketing communication channel and tool for collecting zero- and first-party data that supports various activities on your website. The data collected through this widget is sent to the Customer Data Platform. Once the data is there, you can use it to automate and personalize your marketing efforts. In order for these activities to be as effective as possible, you have to analyze them on an ongoing basis. Personal Shopping Inbox analytics allows you to systematically control the effectiveness of marketing activities in this channel and optimize them if necessary.
