Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: Data points
With two-thirds of consumers (65 percent) more likely to shop at a retailer in store or online that remembers their previous purchases, retailers should both remember customer interactions as well as share them across all touchpoints to ensure a consistent personalized experience.
***Data points*** don’t have to end with SKUs, either. The qualities embedded in each product, along with contextual information surrounding the sale can be even more useful in providing recommendations in the future. Knowing your customer’s history means not just knowing what they buy, view and consume, but also why they made those decisions.

Data points are not as apparent as the results they provide. Businesses, like your favorite clothing store, gather data points by the way people shop and when people fill out their store surveys. Each survey and each person becomes one data point for them. The collection of data points is used by the business to decide what other clothes to offer its customers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_point
In statistics, a data point or observation is a set of one or more measurements on a single member of a statistical population. For example, in a study of the determinants of money demand with the unit of observation being the individual, a data point might be the values of income, wealth, age of individual, number of dependents. Statistical inference about the population would be conducted using a statistical sample consisting of various such data points.
In addition, in statistical graphics, a "data point" may be an individual item with a statistical display; such points may relate to either a single member of a population or to a summary statistic calculated for a given subpopulation.

Tarjeta de puntos, tarjeta de fidelización


Explanation:
Hola Ana,

Por el contexto, creo que habla de las tarjetas de puntos que dan muchos establecimientos a los clientes para fidelizarles. Ofrecen descuentos y regalos y de paso consiguen los datos del cliente para enviarles promociones, felicitaciones por su cumpleaños y demás.

data points
discrete unit of information


Explanation:
A data point is a discrete unit of information. In a general sense, any single fact is a data point. In a statistical or analytical context, a data point is usually derived from a measurement or research and can be represented numerically and/or graphically.

http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/data-point

"Knowing your customer’s history means not just knowing what they buy, view and consume, but also why they made those decisions." -- And data points help to know consumer's purchase history. The principle of consumer behaviour involved here is 'remember.'
