Consumer data is one of the most talked about, yet least understood, concepts in business today. In this conversation with Chris Briggs, vice president of marketing and business development at Buxton, we’ll define exactly what consumer data is, how it’s actually being used by retailers today, and the challenges companies face in maximizing the full potential of consumer data for the future.

This event is part of the Britt Technology Impact Series offered by the Center for Digital Strategies at Tuck School of Business. This year, the series is examining how the physical world is becoming fully embedded with technology in a series titled, The Internet of You: Better Living Through Connectivity.

About Buxton
Tom Buxton founded the company on the premise that any retailer could achieve greater success by understanding who their customer was, plain and simple. He knew then that accurate customer data and intense analysis could play a key role in business success. In 1994, using seed money from his own pocket, he left his two-decade career at consumer electronics giant Tandy/RadioShack and started his own company — Buxton — and set out to prove his methodology.

Within a year, top retail brands were using Buxton data for site selection. The company’s vast data resources, combined with proprietary technologies, made it the leader in site selection for both retail and restaurants.
