Market Differentiators
Epsilon has been collecting, compiling, and licensing consumer data for more than 40 years. Epsilon claims that their demographic, financial, lifestyle, and behavioral data offer exceptional coverage of the total population of the United States with accuracy that is unmatched. But, it’s their transactional data that really sets them apart. Epsilon claims to have more actual purchase data that can be used for marketing than any other company (60+ billion purchases and more than $3.5 trillion in spend). Recent relevant purchase behavior is the strongest predictor of future buying, and Epsilon has it for every market vertical.
