33 Lessons Learned From data collection to data analysis, all phases should be defined and planned carefully and with insight into the future. You can not collect all the data needed at the same time, though technology drastically quickens and facilitates the process. Rewarding is a very efficient stimulus behind data collection. Analytics is meaningless without business and marketing objectives.

34 Next Steps Before the year 2005, data collection will continue with various marketing activities and campaigns. Database will be deepened both horizontally and vertically. Price deregulation will create the need for a database covering all retail territory down to even the smallest retail points. Product, customer and regional segmented campaigns and loyalty schemes will be critical smart marketing efforts should be supported through ongoing analysis.
