How to Benefit from Personalization in Digital Marketing

Personalization in digital marketing seems to be the norm nowadays. When customers opt-in to sharing data, companies now get a bigger picture of their behavior, interests, likes, and dislikes. Marketers can use this information to run personal campaigns, most commonly through their website and email blasts.

Let’s take a look at some reasons why you want to be personalizing your business tactics.

• 77% of consumers have chosen, recommended, or paid more for a brand that provides a personalized service or experience.
• Setting up personalized emails based on customer activity can increase the open rate by 29% and receive a 41% higher click-through rate.
• 68% of marketers say personalization based on behavioral data has a high impact on ROI.

Now, how exactly can you implement personalization into your marketing campaign? Here are some components you should be collecting and what you can do with them:

• Product viewing history—With so many options out there, people are bound to browse… a lot. Forgotten discoveries are the perfect opportunity to send a reminder of what they have recently viewed, ask if they have purchased the item, and suggest similar products.
• Items left in shopping cart—‘Don’t forget about me!’ Sending an email of items left behind can prompt a person to revisit your site and make the final purchase. You can also offer a bonus discount!
• Blog page visited—When customers are shopping, they often research before making a purchase. Share some similar topics to customers that are reading your blogs and suggested products that go along with it.
• Checkout items—While you can’t quite get the same encounter as those last-minute grabs alongside a checkout line in-store, you can offer a similar experience online when a user gets to their shopping cart. Show items that are frequently purchased together or that complement what’s already in their basket.

Customers love a personalized shopping experience. To promote retention and instill brand loyalty, you need to be implementing these strategies.
