Data is more than just a byproduct of business—it’s a valuable asset that can be transformed into a new stream of income. If you’re sitting on a goldmine of customer behavior, transaction records, product performance, or sensor data, you might be wondering: How Do I Turn My Data Into a Revenue Stream?
At VisioValor, we specialize in unlocking the financial potential of your business data. Here’s how you can get started—and how we can help.
What is Data Monetization?
Data monetization is the process of converting data into economic value. This can be done directly by selling data or indirectly by using data to improve decision-making, optimize processes, or create new services.
Two Main Types of Data Monetization:
- Internal Monetization: Using your data to boost efficiency, improve products, personalize marketing, or reduce costs.
- External Monetization: Selling your data, licensing it, or using it to create new products and services.
At VisioValor, we help businesses identify which path—or combination—is right for their unique data assets.
Examples of Data Monetization in Action
Let’s explore a few real-world examples to inspire your journey:
- UPS: By analyzing delivery data, UPS optimized routes and saved millions annually in fuel and labor costs—a classic case of internal monetization.
- Spotify: Uses listener data to offer targeted advertising and recommend content—monetizing data both internally and externally.
- John Deere: Collects data from connected tractors and offers insights to farmers via subscription—turning farm equipment into an IoT-powered data business.
