EXAMPLE
A video streaming service utilized usage statistics to analyze viewer habits and preferences. They discovered that a significant portion of users stopped watching shows before completing the first episode. This insight led them to implement a feature that shows trailers and a "best moments" compilation before starting the episode, which significantly reduced initial drop-offs and increased overall engagement rates.
Tools like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Amplitude are great for collecting and analyzing usage statistics to understand user behavior and preferences.
