7 <h2>What Is Personalization?</h2>

8 “Good marketing makes the company look smart. Great marketing makes the customer feel smart.”

9 - Joe Chernov, VP Marketing, Pendo.io

10 <a>Personalization</a>is a marketing strategy where brands use data analysis and digital technology to deliver personal messages and offers to customers.

11 What does this mean?

12 When you shop on sites like Amazon, as you click on a product page, you’ll see related offers that may also interest you.

13 When you next log onto the website, you will be shown offers based on your last search items.

14 These are personalized marketing automation strategies designed to:

15 <ul><li> Keep users coming back</li>

16 <li>Make it easy to buy products</li>

17 <li>Suggest related products you could also buy</li>

18 </ul><a>Seventy-two percent</a>of consumers indicate they expect businesses they buy from to recognize them as individuals and know their interests. When asked to define personalization, consumers associate it with positive experiences where they were made to feel special.

19 <blockquote>Personalization software is an essential element of the customer experience used to track customer activity and preferences across channels. This tool drives customer loyalty and increases customer lifetime value as a win-win by crafting tailor-made customer journeys and yielding rewards for both the user and the marketer. Using personalization software to improve a brand’s relationship with their customers can also contribute significant uplift for valuable metrics across platforms.

20 </blockquote><h2>What Is Personalization Software?</h2>

21 Personalization software is a tool built to monitor customers’ activity, characteristics, and behavior across multiple channels (web, mobile, app) to create a personal customer experience by recommending relevant products or messages based on their activity.

22 It can be as an extension or a plugin.

23 The goal of this software is to help your business drive metrics including:

24 <ul><li>Revenue</li>

25 <li>Customer lifetime value</li>

26 <li>Conversion rate</li>

27 <li><a>ROI</a></li>

28 <li>Customer loyalty</li>

29 <li>Reduce<a>shopping cart abandonment</a></li>

30 </ul>Remember:

31 <ul><li>Every website visitor has specific needs</li>

32 <li>They are expecting you to meet those needs</li>

33 </ul><a>Research</a>proves 42% of customers feel frustrated when content is not personalized. Since customer satisfaction is crucial for customer retention, personalization is vital to providing a shopping experience your customers will want to return to.

34 “Personalization is not about the first name/last name. It’s about relevant content.”

35 -<a> Dan Jak </a>

36 To ensure you are targeting relevant customer context, your marketing teams need an effective tool to show customers what they need before they realize it themselves.

38 Personalization is the same as A/B testing.

39 While personalization involves A/B testing to analyze and demonstrate added value and uplift from campaigns, it is not the same as A/B testing technology. Personalisation requires a high level of user segmentation and data to provide a unique and tailored experience for each user. Comparatively, A/B testing is a user experience research methodology that does not necessarily require user segmentation beyond a control group.

40 <h2>How Personalization Software Works</h2>

41 Personalization solutions automatically modify content based on the characteristics and behavior of customers.

42 Characteristics are customer data consistent across channels.

43 Customer characteristics include:

44 <ul><li>Company</li>

45 <li>Job title</li>

46 <li>First or last name</li>

47 <li>Location</li>

48 </ul>Customer behaviors may not be similar across channels. These include:

49 <ul><li>The pages your customer visits on a website</li>

50 <li>A referral source that brought them to the website</li>

51 <li>An ad that your customer interacted with</li>

52 </ul>Personalization uses this data to provide a unique user experience to each customer, rather than a one-size-fits-all experience.

53 <h2>The Benefits for Marketing</h2>

54 <ul><li>Identify Trends</li>

55 </ul>If a customer who often buys gifts from your website changes to buying novels, personalization software will help you identify this shift in behavior and adjust personalized content to send recommendations relating to the customer’s new trend.

56 This increases customer loyalty, as the products you offer continue to align with their needs.

57 <ul><li>Increase Conversion Rate<a> </a></li>

58 </ul><a>Invesp</a>research shows 56% of online shoppers are likely to return if a website recommends relevant products to them.

59 <ul><li> Improve Customer Experience</li>

60 </ul>Customers are more likely to prefer personalized product recommendations related to their desires. Successfully identifying customer preferences and delivering relevant offers will lead to increased customer satisfaction, which will improve long-term customer loyalty and sales.

61 Here’s an interesting fact:

62 <a>Smarter HQ</a>confirms 72% of consumers agree that a personalized shopping experience sparks customer interest. These experiences reduce stress for customers, as they cut down the amount of time spent searching for the right products. There are various ways to provide personalized recommendations to your customers.

63 For example:

64 <ol><li>A overlay showing an offer related to the customer’s search history</li>

65 <li>A section showing customers offers related to what they have added to their cart</li>

66 <li>An SMS showing customers with an affinity for new arrivals a message when products get added to your site</li>

67 </ol>Other benefits

68 <ul><li>Integrates offline and online data</li>

69 <li>Targets specific customer needs with tailored marketing campaigns</li>

70 </ul><h2>The Importance of Using Personalization Software</h2>

71 You can get more from your campaigns and advertisements by integrating customer data, using the characteristics and behavior of each customer to make relevant and engaging offers.

72 “<a>Ultimate personalization</a>is going into a bar to sit down, and the bartender puts a whiskey in front of you without having to ask what you want.”

73 - Jeff Bezos

74 Making your customer feel that you are talking to them alone, and not a group of people all at once gives you a higher chance of converting them to paying customers.

75 Grammarly

76 <a>Grammarly</a>is a popular brand almost every writer - be it amateur or professional - is familiar with.

77 How they use personalization:

78 Grammarly corrects grammar mistakes in users’ work and sends tailored weekly reports showing them how their writing has improved.

79 Grammarly reports include:

80 <ul><li>The number of words the user wrote that week </li>

81 <li>The number of mistakes they made </li>

82 <li>How often they made each mistake </li>

83 <li>Highlights potential areas for improvement</li>

84 </ul>With this feedback, users can improve their grammar skills to get the most value from this product, encouraging them to continue using the service.

89 Also, they also include recommendation menus with streaming options that are similar to those recently viewed by the user, so they can quickly find more content that matches their current mood.

90 These suggestions save users from the stress of scrolling through hundreds of titles before finding a movie that interests them.

91 Cadbury

92 How they use personalization:

93 In 2015,<a>Cadbury</a>launched a<a>Facebook campaign</a>in Australia. They used user profiles to match each person to one of the brand’s new flavors, one that paired well with their personality, described as a ‘flavor match’. Then Cadbury used customer profile pictures to create a personalized video introducing the product.
