Abstract

With businesses continually striving to be insightful enough to precisely read the consumers’ desires and subjectively measure their satisfaction, the need for and impact of Big Data Analytics is growing without bounds. The chapter elucidates the proficiency of behavioral predictions enabled through the big data further made available by people on various social media platforms, which guide the marketers throughout the Consumer Decision Journey. These behavioral predictions help the businesses to keep tapping the consumer decision journey through several customer touch-points. Consequently, Big Data Analytics being a massive source of data collection drives marketers toward value creation by comprehending the needs of customers effectively and thus promoting value delivery to customers. With the help of various social media models, the chapter also unravels the benefits of behavioral predictions to not only marketers but also other researchers in the field of health, politics, academia, and so on focusing on personality traits, lifestyle and health of their subjects and not just their buying behavior. The chapter explores the various dimensions of social media platforms and models to demonstrate effective use of technically enhanced opportunities to drive customer satisfaction.
