Data analytics plays an important role in marketing management. There are many types of data to be gathered and studied. Structured data are quantitative data that can be stored in a fixed format, such as a spreadsheet or list. These data can be easily processed by computers. The following are examples of structured data:
E-mail address
Home address
Age
Gender
Credit card number
Unstructured data are not easily put into categories. The following are examples of unstructured data:
Internet search results
Body of an e-mail
Data from social media sites, such as Facebook or LinkedIn
Photos
Text messages
Voicemails
Semi-structured data are a combination of both structured and unstructured data. An example would be an e-mail. The To and From fields would be considered structured data that are easily categorized, and the body of the e-mail would be unstructured, which is not as easily categorized. All of these data combined, along with other types, contribute to big data.
