<ul><li><strong>Data sources:</strong>The more data a personalization engine can use, the more accurate its recommendations will be (provided the data is clean and accurate). It’s a good idea to start your analysis by determining if a personalization engine can connect to all data sources that are relevant to your business.</li>

<li><strong>Personalization and</strong><strong>automation</strong><strong>tools:</strong>These tools are what you’ll use to create personalized experiences based on the personalization engine’s insights. You want to make sure they’re versatile, easy to use, and if possible-built natively with the personalization engine so you don’t have to connect to a bunch of third-party systems and overcomplicate your digital marketing stack.</li>

<li><strong>Native channels:</strong>Personalization engines can provide insights but can’t automatically put them into action. As a marketer, it’s your job to take those insights and create personalized experiences across different touchpoints, like your website, email communications, SMS or WhatsApp messages, and more. The more channels you can tap into natively (i.e., without needing a separate solution outside of the personalization engine), the easier it will be for you to personalize each customer’s experience.</li>

They can be a powerful tool for many use cases, including product discovery, cart recovery, and more. Insider One supports various web and mobile app push notification types and lets you easily personalize them to each user’s preferences.<strong></strong></p>

<p>While anonymous visitors are browsing your site, Insider One collects behavioral data, including where they click, which products and price ranges they’re interested in, their last viewed items, and so on. Based on that data, our platform can<strong>start to show visitors more</strong><strong>relevant content</strong><strong>,</strong><strong>messaging</strong><strong>, and</strong><strong>product recommendations</strong>while they’re still browsing your site or when they return to it.</p>

<p>But that’s not all. You can also send an exit-intent pop up to visitors so they can agree to receive notifications before leaving your site. This is a small commitment that doesn’t require any personal data, which increases the likelihood of visitors opting in.</p>

<p>After that, you can bring them back to your site with web push notifications that are personalized based on the categories, products, price ranges, and other attributes they’ve shown interest in. This can help you<strong>drastically reduce acquisition costs</strong>(because you don’t have to use expensive retargeting ads),<strong>convert more visitors</strong>, and<strong>recover abandoned carts</strong>.</p>
