Safety is a must for today's retailers, and businesses that fail to meet federal and/or corporate product safety mandates face severe risks. 

For example, a retailer that lacks the expertise and technology needed to deploy an effective consumer safety strategy puts its customers and employees in danger. This company risks releasing unsafe products that may cause harm to consumers. Meanwhile, the business may be forced to repair or replace defective products, which could cause financial losses. Perhaps worst of all, a business that supplies unsafe products risks alienating its customers and missing out on opportunities to extend its global reach. 

With a diligent approach to consumer safety, business managers can take the guesswork out of product quality and safety issues. In fact, managers now can use product quality and safety data to find ways to prevent product failures, warranty claims and similar problems.    

Understanding the True Value of Consumer Safety Data

Consumer safety data is readily available, but few business managers understand how to collect and analyze this information effectively. However, managers who allocate the necessary time and resources to implement a comprehensive consumer safety strategy can optimize the value of product quality and safety information. 

To retrieve consumer safety data, managers first need to focus on their business goals. This will enable managers to determine how they will use consumer safety information to help a company provide its customers with the best products, services and support. 

Furthermore, managers need to consider the broad range of product quality and safety information this is available. Managers can retrieve consumer safety data related to product failures, warranty claims and other product quality and safety issues. But transforming this information into meaningful insights can be an uphill climb, and managers need to consider how they can get the insights they need to improve their companies. 

In many instances, managers may be forced to mine large consumer safety data sets on their own. Or, managers may review only a small amount of consumer safety information, which could cause these managers to miss out on meaningful insights that otherwise could help a business bolster its day-to-day operations. 

For managers, it is essential to understand consumer safety problems and address them immediately. Although a consumer safety strategy can provide a great first step for managers to learn about product quality and safety issues, managers likely will need extra help to obtain meaningful insights consistently.
