With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/artificial-intelligence-ai-e-commerce\/\">artificial intelligence<\/a> technologies and data analysis systems, companies are able to segment consumers for more focused marketing processes. Marketers can now tailor content for individual users based on known and predicted data like preferences, characteristics, browsing habits, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-predictive-analytics\/\">Predictive analysis<\/a> ensures that customers are only seeing content that is highly relevant to them. And it\u2019s that relevance that sells in today\u2019s saturated market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does personalization matter to marketing today, and how can you use targeted personalization in your business\u2019s customer experience? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-does-personalization-matter\"><b>Why does personalization matter? <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumers are growing increasingly skeptical of marketing. The internet has brought about \u201ccontent overload.\u201d Customers are seeing hundreds of advertisements every single day. There\u2019s no way the human brain can pick up on all of these different ads, let alone remember and respond to them. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Personalised-Customer-Experience-1100x373.jpg\" alt=\"ecommerce personalised marketing\" class=\"wp-image-3146\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Personalised-Customer-Experience-1100x373.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Personalised-Customer-Experience-300x102.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Personalised-Customer-Experience-768x260.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Personalised-Customer-Experience.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But personalization cuts through the noise. It addresses marketing directly to the viewer, so they are more likely to pay attention to it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The case for personalization is backed by science. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/psychology-personalization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research has found<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the middle and superior temporal parts of the brain \u201clight up\u201d when someone hears their own name. These are the parts of the brain that are linked to long-term memory. The same reaction happens when people receive personalized content. Their long-term memory is activated in response, so they\u2019re more likely to engage with the content and respond to it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers want to see things they care about\u2026 And they don\u2019t want to see irrelevant info. In fact, 75% of your potential customers will get frustrated if they see irrelevant content or products\u2014and nearly 40% of those will leave to go to another site. That means personalization can help retain 40% of your potential customers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you love dogs. If a brand shows you a picture of a dog, you\u2019re more likely to respond to the advertisement than if they used a picture of a snake. But they might use a picture of a snake for your next-door neighbor who thinks reptiles are cool. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this personalization goes beyond just showing you pictures of your interests. It can actually predict what you\u2019ll need before you even need it. For example, if you\u2019ve recently been searching for \u201cbaby names\u201d on Google, a department store might start advertising baby clothes and cribs to you using predictive data analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalization leads to better customer service and an improved buying experience. especially when brands collaborate with <a href=\"https:\/\/supportyourapp.com\/blog\/best-customer-service-outsourcing-companies-for-e-commerce\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/supportyourapp.com\/blog\/best-customer-service-outsourcing-companies-for-e-commerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customer service outsourcing partners<\/a> to enhance customer interactions and support quality. This not only converts viewers into purchasers, but it also encourages customers to purchase <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This personalization relates the consumer to the brand, which enhances long-term customer retention and brand loyalty. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-you-personalize-your-customer-s-experience\"><b>How can you personalize your customer\u2019s experience? <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if your business doesn\u2019t have expensive AI technology to intricately track every potential user, you still can (and should) personalize your customer\u2019s browsing experience. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the most effective ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itransition.com\/ecommerce\/personalization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">implement customer personalization for your e-commerce<\/a> business. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b> Website personalization <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website personalization is an absolute <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">must <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moving forward. Personalization options turn your website into a feeding frenzy of customized content that\u2019s hand-picked for your consumer. This includes: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product page recommendations (based on previously viewed and purchased items) <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuous shopping for return customers (automatically saved products in  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/how-does-amazon-wishlist-work\/\">wish list<\/a> or cart) <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalized bestseller lists (showing \u201cbest sellers\u201d as those that are actually personalized recommendations)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Targeted pop-ups with discounts or deals (based on behavioral triggers and heat maps)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website personalization is even a great way to integrate user-generated content (UGC) on your site. On your website, you can show those photos, videos, and reviews from customers who are similar to your current viewer. So a 15-year old girl will see Instagram photos from other teenage girls, while a 40-year old man will see product reviews from other men his age. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website personalization is easy, and companies have been doing it for ages using \u201ccookies.\u201d These systems are growing more advanced and secure, so you can protect your customer\u2019s rights while delivering high-quality customization. Most website platforms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-shopify-integration\/\">including Shopify<\/a>, offer ways for you to collect and analyze your customer\u2019s data with ease. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that the goal of website personalization is to keep customers browsing on your site as long as possible by showing them content, products, and deals that are most relevant to them. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b> Accounts <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any sort of account or subscription associated with your company, you want to make each step as personalized as possible. This can be as simple as having the user\u2019s name at the top and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-wish-list\/\">making a amazon wish list<\/a> feature available, or it can be as complex as turning their account homepage into a hand-selected goody bag of items. You can even offer personalization options like Gmail allows you to change the way you view and interact with your email inbox. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take Amazon as an example. When you log on to your Amazon account, you see a greeting with your name in the top right corner. You can drop down to see more about your account, including personalized product recommendations. Anywhere you go on the Amazon site you\u2019ll see products you\u2019ve previously viewed and additional products you might be interested in. Amazon doesn\u2019t let you go on a page without offering you a personalized recommendation. The more you see products you like, the more likely you\u2019ll click \u201cbuy.\u201d &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b> Email campaigns <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalized emails show significantly greater success than generic ones. They have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.experianplc.com\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2014\/experian-marketing-services-study-finds-personalized-emails-generate-six\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">29% higher open rates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and 41% higher click-through rates. Just including a personalized email with the customer\u2019s name has a 26% increase in open rate.<\/span> To make your campaign more personalized, you can utilize the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findymail.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">email verifier<\/a> software, which will find the most relevant leads for you, with all necessary information to personalize your emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re putting yourself in the customer\u2019s inbox, so don\u2019t be afraid to make it personal. You want to act like their friend who\u2019s forwarding them an email with a great deal or offer that they might be interested in. You don\u2019t want to be the sleazy salesman. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most third-party email services can help collect customer data and use it for segmentation. These services can make use of the user email addresses, shopping history, and even website heat maps. This allows the service to aggregate consumer data based on interests and purchasing patterns, so they can target your audience at the right time and in the most effective manner. We recommend MailChimp or Klaviyo&nbsp;for highly personalized email services. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalization is especially important for abandoned cart and wishlist emails. These send your customers a list (or visual list) of products they were looking at as a way to remind them or encourage them to buy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also personalize order follow-ups, asking for them to review a specific product that they ordered. This not only shows them that you care, but it also attracts more <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=sellerschoice+blog+instagram&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">product reviews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your site or listing. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b> Social media marketing <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utilize social media to your advantage. Social platforms like Facebook and Instagram have already implemented some of the strongest AI systems on the market. If you have a business profile, you can instantly tap into these pre-set advertising techniques. You can target not only based on demographics, interests, and previously \u201cliked\u201d posts, but you can even target advertising based on usage, time of day, and previous purchases. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Facebook and Instagram tend to have the strongest advertising options right now, don\u2019t neglect the other platforms as well. Pinterest, for example, is actually able to send your PPC ads to relevant viewers based on a user\u2019s Pins and Boards. LinkedIn is able to send appropriate content based on someone\u2019s work and volunteer experience. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the social platform where your customers are, and you\u2019re bound to find strong marketing personalization options. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-meta-e-commerce-partnership\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-meta-e-commerce-partnership\/\">Amazon and Meta Join Forces: A World-Changing Partnership for E-Commerce<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Final thoughts<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalization is no longer a differentiating factor.
