Ans. To Canyon Ranch, customer information is must in order to implement their business model successfully. The value that it gives to the business is that it understands customer’s unique wants and give alternatives that will allow each guest to rach their individual goals. This is essential for Canyon Ranch to reach its mission to “inspire people to make healthy living, turning hopes and live into the highest enjoyment of life”. By gathering and sharing guests’ information, Canyon Ranch can assimilate it to “know and understand their customers, provides loyalty, and cross-sell its offerings” all of which are highly critical to the success of Canyon Ranch.
