Abstract: The advent of the big data era has profoundly reshaped the corporate marketing environment, characterized

by increasing complexity and intensified personalization and diversification of consumer demands. In

response, achieving precision and efficiency in marketing practices has become a critical imperative for

sustaining competitive advantage and fostering long-term growth. Focusing on this research topic, this paper

analyzes Amazon's data-enabled marketing methods based on case studies and empirical analysis methods

and explains the substantial impact of data empowerment on market insights, product positioning, user

operations and strategy optimization, and discusses possible data security and privacy protection issues

accordingly. Finally, the research results show that mature data management and analysis capabilities can

significantly improve the accuracy of marketing decisions and promote the coordinated improvement of

corporate marketing innovation and business performance, but it also needs to strike a balance between

technology investment and compliance risks. The above findings provide practical reference and theoretical

inspiration for enterprises to build a data-driven precision marketing system.

1 INTRODUCTION

With the rapid development of Internet technology

and the era of big data, the model and logic of

corporate marketing are undergoing a profound and

comprehensive transformation and upgrading.

Traditional marketing methods are mainly based on

mass media such as television, radio, and newspapers,

relying on a large-scale communication strategy with

wide coverage. Although this model can gain a

certain market influence, it also brings many difficult-

to-overcome challenges. Specifically, due to the

generalization and homogenization of marketing

information, companies often find it difficult to

accurately locate target customer groups, and the

customer base is not segmented to a low degree,

resulting in serious waste of marketing resources and

excessive marketing costs. At the same time,

traditional marketing methods lack an effective

feedback mechanism and cannot capture customers'

real needs and preferences in a timely and accurate

manner, making companies face huge difficulties

today when consumer needs are increasingly

personalized and diversified. At the same time,

companies need to conduct more in-depth exploration

and practice in cutting-edge technologies such as big

data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing to

further enrich and optimize the technical support

system for precision marketing.

Some scholars pointed out that the widespread

application of cutting-edge technologies such as big

data and artificial intelligence will comprehensively

reconstruct the marketing capabilities of enterprises,

enabling enterprises to conduct user portrait analysis

more effectively, accurately identify and contact

target customer groups, thereby promoting the

development of enterprise marketing strategies in the

direction of precision and intelligence, and

significantly improving the marketing efficiency and

market performance of enterprises(Brynjolfsson and

McAfee, 2017). This study conducts a systematic

analysis around the core issue of how data

empowerment can help enterprises achieve precision

marketing. The research focuses on the specific

implementation path of data empowerment in

precision marketing, the main influencing factors in

practice, and the challenges that may be faced,

including customer portrait construction and user

personalized recommendations.

This paper supplements and improves the existing

research framework of data-driven marketing

innovation at both theoretical and practical levels. It

not only enriches the theoretical system of data

marketing from an academic perspective, but also

helps enterprises improve precision marketing

efficiency and improve user experience from a

practical perspective and ultimately achieve better

market performance. This paper mainly adopts a

method that combines theoretical analysis with actual

case analysis to conduct research. First, the operation

mechanism, mode of action and typical classification

of data empowerment in precision marketing are

analyzed from a theoretical perspective; secondly,

Amazon is selected as a typical corporate case to

deeply analyze its practical path and results of

precision marketing through data empowerment,

including successful experiences in data-driven user

insights, product recommendation systems, and

personalized marketing program design, and the

challenges and solutions faced by Amazon are

discussed in depth. Through the combination of

theoretical research and practical cases, this paper

aims to reveal the laws and trends of enterprise

precision marketing innovation under the background

of data empowerment, further provide effective

reference for the strategic practice of enterprise data-

driven marketing, and provide theoretical and

methodological reference and inspiration for in-depth

research in the academic community.

2 DATA-ENABLED PRECISION

MARKETING MECHANISM

2.1 Path to Data-Enabled Precision

Marketing

The path to data-enabled precision marketing is

mainly reflected in three aspects, including customer

portrait construction, personalized recommendation,

and predictive analysis. First, customer portrait

construction is the basis and premise for achieving

precision marketing. Enterprises use big data

technology to comprehensively analyze user

demographic characteristics, consumption

preferences, purchasing behavior, browsing

trajectory and other information to form accurate and

three-dimensional customer portraits to help

enterprises accurately identify target customers.

Some scholars analyzed that by building accurate

customer portraits through big data, enterprises can

deeply understand consumer preferences, purchase

history and interaction patterns, to formulate more

refined and personalized marketing plans, reduce

marketing resource waste and improve efficiency

(Lu, 2024). Taking Taobao as an example, through

real-time analysis of user search history, purchase

records, click behavior and other data, personalized

products can be accurately pushed, effectively

improving marketing conversion rate. Secondly,

personalized recommendation is the core link of

precision marketing. Through data analysis results

and algorithm models, enterprises can track and

understand user interest changes in real time, actively

push products or services that best meet user needs

and achieve marketing effects that are tailored to

everyone.

For example, Ctrip Travel APP uses intelligent

algorithms to accurately recommend hotels and travel

routes based on user browsing and booking history,

greatly improving user experience and repurchase

rate. Some scholars believe that the advancement of

artificial intelligence enables companies to collect

and analyze large amounts of customer data, thereby

providing highly personalized experiences and

ultimately improving customer satisfaction and

loyalty (Mohapatra et al., 2025)). By leveraging

customer data and implementing effective

personalization strategies, companies can create more

attractive and relevant customer experiences,

ultimately driving business growth. Finally,

predictive analysis can accurately predict users' future

behavior through in-depth mining of historical data

and user behavior patterns, helping companies to plan

marketing strategies in advance. For example, before

shopping festivals such as "Double Eleven", Taobao

used predictive analysis to gain insight into user

needs and deploy inventory and marketing resources

in advance to ensure maximum supply chain

efficiency and marketing effectiveness. Some

scholars pointed out that companies use big data

marketing analysis to significantly enhance their

marketing planning, customer relationship

management and ability to predict customer needs,

making it possible for companies to make more

profits (Cao et al., 2022). Overall, the precision

marketing path enabled by data has effectively

improved the pertinence and efficiency of corporate

marketing, creating significant competitive market

advantages for companies.

2.2 The Main Impact of Data-Enabled

Precision Marketing

Data-enabled precision marketing has played a vital

role in promoting the innovation of corporate

marketing, mainly in four aspects. Such as improving

marketing accuracy, enhancing customer experience,

optimizing marketing ROI, and accelerating

marketing innovation. First, data-driven decision-

making has greatly improved marketing accuracy.

Through in-depth mining of user behavior,

preferences, and historical data, companies can

accurately target audiences and avoid blind

investment of marketing resources, thereby

effectively reducing marketing costs. Some

researchers claimed that accurate market positioning

and personalized marketing strategies can improve

marketing effectiveness, increase corporate profits,

and further accelerate the speed of corporate

expansion (Lu, 2024). Second, data empowerment

enables companies to provide more personalized

services. Through accurate analysis of user data, a

marketing experience tailored to each individual can

be achieved, greatly improving customer satisfaction

and brand loyalty. For example, through the mining

of user portraits and consumer preferences,

companies can push products or services that better

meet customer needs, so that customer experience can

be fully optimized. Some researchers found that

Amazon enhanced customer shopping experience and

repurchase rate through real-time data analysis and

user portrait recommendation system when studying

the case of Amazon, which also verified that data

empowerment has a great impact on the precision

marketing of enterprises (Chaturvedi and

Vijaykarthigeyan, 2023)

Moreover, data empowerment significantly

improves marketing ROI, precise advertising reduces

invalid traffic, improves the effectiveness of

advertising reach, and significantly improves

conversion rate. For example, based on social media

data analysis, companies can find user groups that are

more interested in brands and products, increase

customer purchase rate and average consumption

amount. Some researchers believed that the purchase

rate of personally recommended products is

significantly higher than that of random

recommendations. Using precision marketing

brought by data empowerment to improve the

accuracy of advertising placement will help

companies improve their marketing ROI (Odedina,

2023). Finally, data analysis plays a vital role in

marketing innovation. Through real-time monitoring

of market changes, user preferences and competitive

environment, companies can adjust marketing

strategies in a timely manner and launch targeted and

innovative marketing plans, thereby maintaining a

dominant position in market competition. To sum up,

the in-depth application of data empowerment in

precision marketing not only brings higher market

efficiency and profit returns to enterprises but also

plays an important supporting role in the formulation

and implementation of innovative marketing

strategies.

2.3 Challenges of Data-Enabled

Marketing Innovation

While data empowerment promotes continuous

innovation in enterprise precision marketing, it also

faces many challenges, which restrict the application

effect and promotion process of data technology in

practice. First, data privacy and security issues are

becoming increasingly serious, especially under the

constraints of global data regulations such as the

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Enterprises must strictly abide by legal and compliant

standards in the process of collecting, storing and

using user data, otherwise they will face high fines

and reputation losses. Some scholars believe that data

governance is very important, and all companies

should implement strict data usage standards and

compliance procedures to avoid privacy infringement

and legal risks (Nnaji et al., 2024).

In recent years, consumers' privacy awareness has

been continuously enhanced, and they are highly

sensitive to corporate abuse of data, information

leakage and other behaviors. If data security cannot

be guaranteed, it is very easy to cause a crisis of trust,

which will damage the brand image. Some scholars

also mentioned this point. If companies ignore data

privacy protection and compliance issues, it will have

a huge negative impact on the brand image (Ducange

et al., 2018). Therefore, protecting users' privacy data

is a task that every company must complete.

Secondly, technical barriers and implementation

costs are also a major obstacle. Some scholars support

the view that SMEs lack sufficient economic

resources and technical capabilities to build and

maintain data analysis platforms and professional

teams (Ducange et al., 2018). This situation has led to

limited success in their data-driven marketing

practices. At the same time, the high costs of software

procurement, system maintenance, and talent training

have made SMEs worried about data transformation.

Therefore, although data empowerment provides new

opportunities for enterprise precision marketing,

multiple challenges such as privacy security,

ICEML 2025 - International Conference on E-commerce and Modern Logistics

572

technical barriers, data management, and internal

organizational mechanisms still require enterprises to

continuously optimize at the institutional and

technical levels to realize the true value of data

empowerment.

3 CASE ANALYSIS

3.1 Amazon Case Study

As the world's leading e-commerce platform,

Amazon is a typical representative of data-enabled

precision marketing. Its successful application in

personalized recommendations fully demonstrates

the important role of data technology in improving

marketing efficiency and customer experience.

Amazon has widely used a variety of technical means,

including collaborative filtering algorithms, deep

learning models, and user behavior data analysis, to

tailor personalized product recommendations for

each user. Some scholars pointed out that Amazon

uses user search and purchase history data, combined

with machine learning and behavioral analysis, to

build user portraits and achieve personalized

recommendations for thousands of people (Amiri and

Vida, 2023). By analyzing user browsing history,

purchasing habits, length of stay and other behavioral

data, Amazon can accurately predict user interests

and preferences, thereby increasing click-through rate

and conversion rate. In addition, Amazon also makes

full use of user review analysis to optimize product

design and service quality, explore users' real needs,

and then carry out product improvement and

precision marketing.

At the same time, with the help of personalized

email push mechanism, Amazon sends customized

marketing content based on users' purchase history

and potential needs, which significantly improves

user repurchase rate and brand stickiness. In terms of

pricing strategy, Amazon implements a dynamic

pricing mechanism based on data such as user search

habits, purchasing behavior, and competitor pricing

to achieve real-time price adjustment and optimal

configuration, to enhance price competitiveness and

stimulate user purchasing intention. This highly data-

based and intelligent pricing system not only

improves corporate profit margins but also improves

user purchase satisfaction.

In Amazon's marketing practice, A/B testing is

used to optimize the platform's page layout, product

recommendations, and advertising strategies. With

the help of data feedback, different marketing plans

are continuously tested and optimized to achieve

continuous user experience improvement and

marketing efficiency improvement. At the same time,

some scholars said that Amazon's ads are based on the

browsing habits of potential customers (Amiri and

Vida, 2023). Amazon will test different advertising

formats, including different copywriting and

advertising time, and judge which advertising format

performs better in a specific situation based on

conversion data, so as to achieve the optimal

allocation of advertising resources and improve

marketing ROI. It can be seen that Amazon has made

good use of the advantages brought by data

empowerment and used big data to gain significant

advantages in the fierce market competition. At the

same time, Amazon's success also indirectly confirms

the important role of data empowerment in precision

marketing innovation.

3.2 Marketing Innovation Effect

As the world's leading e-commerce platform,

Amazon has achieved remarkable results in

marketing innovation driven by data empowerment,

becoming a benchmark company in the field of

precision marketing. According to Amazon's official

data, more than 35% of its sales come from

personalized recommendation systems, which shows

that through deep learning and modelling of user

behavior using big data and artificial intelligence

technology, Amazon can achieve highly personalized

product recommendations, greatly improving users'

click-through rates and purchase conversion rates. At

the same time, after implementing a new personalized

advertising strategy, Amazon achieved a 25% sales

growth and an 18% increase in advertising revenue

within three months. In addition, in terms of customer

relationship management, Amazon predicts user

needs through AI, not only recommending products

that users may be interested in in advance, but also

adjusting in inventory, logistics, and advertising. This

not only optimizes supply chain management but also

increases customer retention by 12%. Data

empowerment has brought significant commercial

returns to Amazon and also provided an important

reference sample for global companies to transform

their marketing through data empowerment.

4 SUGGESTIONS

4.1 Challenges of Data Empowerment

Although data empowerment has brought significant

benefits to enterprises' precision marketing, it still

faces many challenges in its actual application, which

still need to be paid great attention by enterprises and

researchers. Some scholars pointed out that there is an

increase in privacy concerns, security breaches, data

bias, third-party data access, and accountability issues

(Odedina, 2023). With the large-scale collection and

use of user data by enterprises, how to ensure the legal

and compliant use of data under the premise of

complying with laws such as the General Data

Protection Regulation (GDPR) has become a key

challenge for the digital transformation of enterprise

marketing. Once data leakage or abuse occurs, it will

not only cause a crisis of user trust but also may cause

the enterprise to face huge fines and damage to its

reputation. At the same time, whether data can be

handled transparently and responsibly is very

important, but enterprises will face huge challenges

in terms of data storage location selection and user

data deletion requests (Odedina, 2023). In addition,

the scholar analyzed that enterprises need to make

substantial investments in software infrastructure and

platforms to support data-driven activities (Odedina,

2023). It can be seen that the high cost of developing

and operating big data systems will be an unknown

challenge for companies that lack technical

accumulation.

In more detail, building a complete data

infrastructure often requires the introduction of

advanced data management platforms, analytical

software, cloud computing resources, etc., involving

a large initial investment. Besides, the

implementation of data technology also depends on a

capable team of talents, including data engineers,

algorithm experts, etc., which leads to a large

investment in human resources for enterprises. For

small and medium-sized enterprises, this technical

and human threshold may constitute a stumbling

block for the operation of precision marketing.

Finally, enterprises also face the challenge of data

quality and integration. Some scholars said that many

organizations still struggle with inconsistent,

outdated, and fragmented data, making it difficult to

develop a unified customer view or deliver relevant

marketing communications (Rosário and Dias, 2023).

If enterprises cannot ensure the uniformity and

accuracy of data, it will directly affect the

effectiveness of recommendation systems, customer

segmentation, and personalized content delivery. In

addition, enterprise data comes from multiple systems

(such as CRM, ERP, social media, offline sales

points), so it is difficult to integrate them together for

analysis, which will bring challenges to precision

marketing.

4.2 Countermeasures

Faced with the many challenges brought by data

empowerment in the innovation of enterprise

precision marketing, enterprises need to work

together from multiple dimensions such as

technology, system, and management to formulate

strategies to ensure the effectiveness, security and

sustainability of data empowerment.

First, in order to deal with problems such as data

leakage, illegal use and privacy infringement,

enterprises should establish a sound data security

management system, encrypt the storage and

transmission of user sensitive data, use data

desensitization technology to ensure that personal

information cannot be identified during data analysis,

and at the same time, establish a complete data access

permission system to ensure that only authorized

personnel can access key data. Second, in the face of

difficulties in funding and technical resources, small

and medium-sized enterprises should use third-party

mature data analysis platforms, such as Alibaba

Cloud and Tencent Cloud, which can effectively

reduce the technical threshold and cost burden of self-

built data systems. At the same time, the person in

charge of the enterprise should actively seek

government policy support and special funding

support for digital transformation, so that enterprises

have more funds to build their own data platforms. In

the face of data integration and quality issues. Some

researchers suggested that enterprises should

establish a data governance system, clarify data

responsible persons, standards, and audit

mechanisms, and ensure consistency and credibility

(Rosário & Dias, 2023). At the same time, enterprises

should adopt ETL processes and unified data

architecture to transform data from multiple sources

into a unified structure for cleaning, integration, and

5 CONCLUSION

Based on research methods such as literature review

and case analysis, this paper conducts a systematic

analysis of the impact of data empowerment on the

innovation of enterprise precision marketing.

Through the discussion of the application path,

innovative achievements and challenges of data

technology in precision marketing, it is concluded

that data empowerment has become an important

factor for enterprises to achieve marketing model

innovation and performance improvement. It further

explains that under the background of technologies

ICEML 2025 - International Conference on E-commerce and Modern Logistics

574

such as big data and cloud computing, enterprises can

achieve dynamic perception of user behavior and

needs through means such as user portrait

construction, behavior tracking, data mining and

algorithm modelling, thereby improving marketing

accuracy and conversion efficiency. Taking Amazon

as an example, it has achieved remarkable results in

personalized recommendations, advertising

optimization, page layout improvement, etc. through

collaborative filtering, deep learning and user

behavior data analysis, fully demonstrating the core

role of data empowerment in precision marketing

innovation.

Although this paper has conducted a relatively in-

depth analysis of the application path and results of

data empowerment in enterprise precision marketing

innovation, there are still certain research limitations.

First, the research cases selected in this paper are

mainly concentrated on e-commerce platform

companies with a high degree of digitalization, such

as Amazon, Taobao, and Ctrip. These companies

themselves have a strong data technology foundation,

and their reference significance is still limited for

industries that are still in the early stages of digital

transformation, such as traditional manufacturing and

offline retail. Secondly, the research method of this

paper is mainly based on theoretical analysis and

public cases, lacking empirical verification based on

first-hand data, such as actual operation data of

enterprises, user feedback data, and marketing input-

output ratio analysis. Future research can further

expand the scope of industries and combine more

cases from diversified industries. At the same time,

with the deep integration of artificial intelligence

technology and big data analysis, enterprise precision

marketing will develop from static analysis to more

intelligent directions such as real-time prediction and

behavior simulation. Therefore, future research can

focus on the role of data empowerment and artificial

intelligence collaborative application in precision

marketing, explore how to achieve marketing quality

improvement and automated optimization through

intelligent decision-making systems, and help

enterprises achieve sustainable competitive

advantages in the digital economy era.
