This year, you may ruin your database – or you could make it a lot better
Here’s how: In 2020, I learned that I’m on a lot of email lists, more than I ever imagined. In 2019, I received an average of 300 emails a day. That went up to 500+ in 2020. In a way I’m not surprised. My company, Oomiji, sends out a lot of email newsletters and promotions for […]

EU wineries will be making a mistake if they leave the U.S. market
How’s your Spanish? The headline of the article above in the Spanish business paper, El Economista from the other day reads: “Spanish wine sinks in the US due to tariffs and wineries are already preparing for withdrawal from the market”.

In fact, it’s often one of the first cuts that is made to marcom budgets. The […]
Rethinking Big Data To Understand Your Audience Better
There is real pressure to invest in big data to stay competitive, but businesses often end up collecting as much data as possible without deriving valuable insights. Huge databases aren’t practical or cost-effective. Instead, you can benefit from rethinking your approach to big data and focusing on qualitative data. There is a real push to […]

If the only thing your market research platform does is research, you’re not getting your money’s worth
So, you’ve decided to begin a new market research project. You’ve got your email database that you’ll send the questions to and you’ve opened up your market research provider’s survey builder to create the survey. You may have done it dozens of times before; that is, begun a research project knowing that what you’ll get back is […]
