Overview

Bikky’s Demographics is an add-on to the Bikky CDP platform built specifically to help you better understand who is driving your sales. Demographics ties together your core Bikky analytics (ex. guest spending, behavior) and demographic attributes (ex. age, gender, income, etc.) to better understand how demographics impact your business.

FAQs

Q: How accurate are the demographic assignments?
A: Demographic insights are based on a blend of known data (ex. name, age), combined with statistical modeling and aggregate datasets. Demographics are best used to understand broad trends, rather than identify a single individual.

Q: Can I break down performance by demographic at the store level?
A: Yes - one of the strengths of Bikky Demographics is comparing demographic differences by store, region, or market.

Q: Can I sync demographic segments to ad platforms?
A: Yes - once you define a segment, you can export it for use (depending on your marketing stack) as a custom or lookalike audience.
