The Importance of Personalization

In a world where consumers are ever-evolving, keeping up with their preferences and habits has never been more important. In the last decade, companies have invested tremendous resources to adapt their strategies to focus on using data and technology in order to effectively target their audiences. A result from this change is the shift from mass marketing to personalized marketing. When executed properly, marketers have found that personalization is simply a win-win for everyone.

1. Increase conversion and lower costs by leveraging consumer insights

Leveraging individual consumer insights on a mass scale allows companies to provide customers with tailored messaging and interactions including product recommendations curated specifically for them based on their preferences.

2. Generate profits and improve customer retention through engagement

Companies who engage their audience in order to understand their preferences in order to deliver personalized content see an increase in ROI. Deloitte’s Consumer Review report explains that “Not only would the majority of consumers be willing to pay more for a customized product or service, they would also like to be actively involved in the process”. Teams can use the data collected through engagement to distribute personalized marketing messaging on a mass scale, resulting in increased product sales and improved efficiency, cost and speed.

3. Personalized attention drives brand lift

Consumers who receive personalized attention and content are more likely to be willing to provide their personal information and feedback. Consequently, companies who give their user base the opportunity to partner with them in shaping the brand’s development have been awarded with a boost in customer satisfaction and brand loyalty across all channels.

4. Personalization powers compelling customer experiences

Consumers have become accustomed to receiving highly targeted messaging that is specifically tailored to them. The delivery of personalized content to achieve better customer experience allows brands to begin cultivating relationships with potential customers as well as deepen their relationships with existing customers.
