Consumers are exposed to an increasingly high number of messages each day. How can you make your message relevant to your consumers and break through the noise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To capture consumers\u2019 attention, brands need to focus their attention on <strong>crafting unique user experiences to deliver 1:1 personalization based on data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important focal points to <strong>convert visitors into customers and build customer loyalty <\/strong>is 1:1 personalization. More and more customers feel less motivated to complete a transaction when they\u2019re online shopping if their experience is impersonal. Let\u2019s take a look at some data from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/blakemorgan\/2020\/02\/18\/50-stats-showing-the-power-of-personalization\/?sh=b51b5c82a942\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forbes<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>80% of consumers<\/strong> are more likely to complete an online purchase with brands that offer personalized customer experiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>72% of consumers<\/strong> explain that they only interact with personalized messaging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>66% of consumers<\/strong> share that coming across content that isn\u2019t personalized would deter them from purchasing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Customers want personalization<\/strong>. Think about when you walk into a physical store and an employee really listens to your needs, helps you find exactly what you\u2019re looking for, or goes above and beyond your expectations to help you. That is exactly what customers want in the digital marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A unique, digital one-to-one personalization experience strategy gives companies the potential to customize messages, offers, and other experiences to each website visitor based on data collected about each user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Digital one-to-one personalization starts with concrete data<\/strong>.

If you don\u2019t get to know your customers based on their interactions with your brand and user behavior, you\u2019re missing an opportunity to meet your customers\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One goal of personalization is to create a \u201cwow\u201d effect. This means you should be making the customer think, \u201cwow, they really know me.\u201d The more information that a company knows about a certain customer, the more personalized the user experience will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without extensive, personalized data, one-to-one personalization isn\u2019t achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What data to collect to improve your customer experience with personalization?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a wider scale, it\u2019s important to understand the location of your customer, their demographic information (age, gender, education level), purchasing habits, and website browsing information. However, in the hypercompetitive world of personalization, this surface-level data is not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brands need to move beyond knowing <em>who the customer is<\/em> and understand <em>how the customer behaves<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing that your customer is a recent college graduate who lives in New York City and spends a lot of time making Pinterest boards will not be enough information to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/wingify.com\/blog\/create-buyer-personas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>strong buyer persona<\/strong><\/a> to achieve a unique and pleasant user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/abtasty\/personalization-ebook-donna.png\" alt=\"1-1 personalization customer segmentation\" class=\"wp-image-74434\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7758007117437722;width:998px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enhancing your customer\u2019s profile will require you to collect relevant data about how your customer interacts with your brand on all channels, what motivates them to purchase, and what makes them tick on top of knowing who they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More specifically, robust personalized data will help you better understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Location and demographics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interests and hobbies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopping and purchasing habits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Device and channel frequency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where and how they prefer to shop and purchase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Satisfaction level<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Likes and dislikes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this information will allow you to create a sophisticated customer profile. Understanding their motivations, preferences, and expectations helps you characterize users into intricate <a href=\"https:\/\/wingify.com\/blog\/behavioral-targeting-wins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>market segmentations<\/strong><\/a> to give them the best possible experience imaginable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, the customer will have a positive experience and feel unique based on the information derived from the robust data collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you find user data?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extensive data can be found and refined by cross-indexing information stored on separate databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you can harvest personalized data from a customer\u2019s interactions with your business by analyzing and storing comments on social media sites, ratings on review sites, mobile app usage vs. desktop usage, customer service interactions, download requests, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to leverage one-to-one personalization with personalized data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, personalization cannot exist without data. To achieve one-to-one personalization on your digital channels, your brand must have the ability to <strong>transform the collected data into action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After monitoring and gathering rich data on your customer\u2019s interactions, history, and behavior on your site, it\u2019s time to convert this personalized data into a refined customer buyer persona to serve your customers better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By segmenting your profiles, you will be able to better understand your customer\u2019s preferences and pain points, which will help you craft these personalized messages and display them at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to personalize interactions with customers:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have substantial personalized data collected about your visitors, you can determine the best way to interact with them. There is a fine line between being helpful by displaying personalized messages and being invasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference in these two feelings will depend on the amount of prior engagement that the customer has with you. For example, a customer who is subscribed to every newsletter has a company discount card and frequently completes transactions on your website will expect you to know their preferences fairly well, like a regular coming into a coffee shop. On the other hand, a first-time visitor will not expect you to know much about them, but they will expect to be welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to understand how to serve your customers is by asking yourself how you would want to be interacted with at their level of engagement with your brand. What would make you feel welcomed and what would make you feel overwhelmed or uneasy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What messages should you personalize?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The possibilities for personalized messages can stretch as far as your mind (or your software capabilities) will allow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about personalization in a broad sense. Let\u2019s say a company wants to put its logo onto personalized gifts for its employees. The company\u2019s logo can be put onto t-shirts, pens, stickers, coffee mugs, phone cases, backpacks, sunglasses, golf balls, holiday baskets\u2013 the possibilities are nearly endless. The same goes for personalized messages for your own customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In marketing communication, some of the most common outlets for 1:1 personalization are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Product recommendations<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emails (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wingify.com\/blog\/email-subject-lines-fashion-beauty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subject lines<\/a><\/strong> and content)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intro and exit banners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pop-up messages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conversational marketing (chat boxes)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offers and discounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Language<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wingify.com\/blog\/bootstrap-landing-page-templates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Landing pages<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pricing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greetings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To attract and retain your customer\u2019s attention in a market filled with saturated messages, your brand should <strong>focus on personalization as much as possible and in as many channels as you can<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What platform to use for one-to-one personalization in marketing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The journey to a seamless one-to-one personalization, or one-to-one marketing, experience for your customers starts with sophisticated and intuitive software to help transform your ideas into reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wingify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wingify<\/a><\/strong> is the complete platform for experimentation and personalization equipped with the tools you need to create a richer digital experience for your customers \u2014 fast. With embedded AI and automation, this platform can help you achieve omnichannel personalization and revolutionize your brand and product experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is omnichannel personalization?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In marketing, employing one-to-one personalization across multiple channels, platforms, and touchpoints is commonly referred to as <strong>omnichannel personalization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Customers crave personalization wherever they are<\/strong> \u2013 on a mobile device, desktop, social media platform, mobile app, or email. When customers receive a personalized experience, they expect this standard of communication across all channels or platforms that they are interacting with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Achieving omnichannel personalization requires a seamless flow of customer data from one platform or channel to the next. By gathering information on user preferences, behavior, and interests from all virtual touchpoints, your customer\u2019s profile strengthens.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By receiving this consistent level of personalization across all channels, <strong>consumers will be inclined to purchase more and to purchase again<\/strong> from the same brand that made them feel seen and heard.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the advantages of omnichannel personalization?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Higher conversion rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased average order value (AOV)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced cart abandonment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved brand value and customer loyalty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher customer lifetime value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivering messages at the right time and place<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8 Examples of 1-1 Personalization strategies from retail brands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. ASOS\u2019s Social Connection<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/abtasty\/2019\/08\/asos-social-500x416.png\" alt=\"ASOS - social platforms for account creation\n\" class=\"wp-image-29393\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.2019230769230769;width:500px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Online retailer ASOS prides itself on offering both new and existing customers a range of personalized discounts and deals, which vary depending on if:<br>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s a new customer\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s a returning customer that\u2019s demonstrated a particular interest (e.g. shoes)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A regular customer (who could then be offered premium next-day delivery, for example)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how does ASOS get this information? One method they might use is encouraging customers to log in to the site using social media platforms, which would allow ASOS to access further details such as age, gender, and location\u2014which can then be used to tailor even more personalized messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why it works<\/strong>: The ability to use a social platform for account creation makes the process simple for shoppers, while giving ASOS more insight into what deals or promotions would be of the most interest to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Nordstrom Remembers Your Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nordstrom gave its online shopping cart a simple yet effective personal touch: remembering returning customers\u2019 clothing sizes. This may not seem like a massive approach to deliver a personal experience, but it creates a more seamless checkout for the user and brings them one step closer to the purchase. It\u2019s a rather clever move from Nordstrom that hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why it works<\/strong>: Remembering the customers\u2019 preferred size (based on previous purchases) instantly shows the brand\u2019s attentiveness while making checkout even more simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Clarins personalization and gamification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before the booming holiday season,<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/clarins.com\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clarins<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a multinational cosmetics company, saw an <\/span><b>89% increase in their conversion rate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and a <\/span><b>145% increase in the add-to-basket metric<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by implementing 1:1 personalization and gamification with<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abtasty.com\"> <b>Wingify<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Single\u2019s Day, a few weeks before Black Friday, Clarins saw a perfect opportunity to experiment and learn culture by implementing a \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d concept in certain countries. The gamification gifts were personalized according to each country\u2019s local culture. Any visitor arriving at their website would play the digital game, spin the wheel, and receive a gift automatically in their inbox. This ease of automatic implementation was a great user experience, especially for mobile visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read the full story here:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wingify.com\/resources\/clarins-personalization-retention\/\"> <b>How Clarins Uses Wingify for Personalization and Retention<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Amazon\u2019s \u2018Recommended For You\u2019 Approach<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/abtasty\/2019\/08\/image1-10-252x500.png\" alt=\"Amazon&apos;s recommended for you\" class=\"wp-image-29395\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.504;width:252px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amazon is no stranger to personalization marketing. In fact, it could be argued they were the first major e-commerce retailer to really put personalization into action. The company has become known for its product recommendation emails and personalized homepages for logged-in customers. Using their own algorithm, A9, Amazon goes above and beyond to first understand customers\u2019 buying habits and then deliver an experience that\u2019s been deliberately designed for relevance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why it works<\/strong>: Customers feel valued and understood by the retailer when seeing emails and recommended \u201cpicks\u201d that are tailored to their interests. Consistency also plays a part in Amazon\u2019s approach, as they continue to deliver an even more granular personalized approach for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Nike and Their Customized Approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/abtasty\/2019\/08\/nike-customize-500x469.png\" alt=\"Nike&apos;a customizable shoe \" class=\"wp-image-29394\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.0660980810234542;width:500px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nike always goes the extra mile to personalize the shopping experience, as we\u2019ve seen with their SNKRs app that allows premium (loyalty, Nike+ shoppers) access to a large catalog of products that they can then customize. It\u2019s the perfect way to cement customer loyalty by offering them the unique opportunity to tailor items to their exact liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it works: By giving customers a certain degree of autonomy with design, Nike is giving customers the freedom to express their individuality, even while the company continues to produce the same style of shoe around the world. Despite being a huge brand, Nike has created a great loyalty program that engages customers and stokes their excitement about buying Nike products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Net-A-Porter\u2019s Personalized Touch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luxury online retailer Net-A-Porter has adopted the \u2018recommended for you\u2019 approach but with a unique twist to appeal to its high-end customers who want a more premium service when they shop. The company gives away freebie products to customers based on previous purchases, adding a personal touch to an otherwise standard online shopping experience. This is not unlike Amazon\u2019s recommended emails, except Net-A-Porter customers receive a physical product \u2014 and who doesn\u2019t like a gift!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it works: These gifts show the appreciation Net-A-Porter has for its customers and help to bring the luxury shopping experience online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Coca-Cola\u2019s Name Campaign<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2011, Coca-Cola launched its Share a Coke campaign in Australia, printing thousands of names on their diet and original soft drinks. This simple yet effective campaign made sales skyrocket, supporting the notion that consumers engage with brands that address them by their first name (albeit in a rather broad sense!) Personalized bottles became all the rage, with people trying to find their own names along with those of their friends and family members. The campaign was globally recognized and started the ball rolling for other brands such as Marmite, which also saw great success with a naming campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it works: Is it the simple notion of vanity that makes these name campaigns so popular? Consumers love to see their own names on popular products, making them almost \u2018gimmicky\u2019 with a collectible edge that makes people feel special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Target\u2019s Guest ID<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US retail giant Target decided to up its personalized campaign game by assigning each customer a guest identification number on their first interaction with the brand. Target then used the data to obtain customer details like buying behavior and even job history! Target used personalized data to understand the consumer habits of its customers and to create a view of their individual lifestyles. Target focused particularly on customers who also had a baby registry with them and even used their marketing data to make \u2018pregnancy predictability scores\u2019 for customers who were browsing particular items!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it works: Arguably, delivering a personalized experience for every customer visiting a physical store is a tough job for any retailer. By assigning a \u2018guest ID\u2019, Target was able to understand buying behaviors and patterns from their customers in-store and use the information to make suggestions on products they may be interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everyone wins with one-to-one personalization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data you collect equally benefits your brand and your customers. By understanding what your customers are looking for, you save them time by providing them with informed recommendations, personalized messages, and unique experiences to solve their pain points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without proper data collection or genuine segmentation, it\u2019s nearly impossible to provide users with a 1:1 personalized experience. Loyal customers want to feel like their brand really knows them and what they\u2019re looking for. Achieve one-to-one personalized experiences by correctly analyzing and leveraging personalized data. If you\u2019re looking to serve your customers, increase sales, and build brand loyalty at the same time, you\u2019ve found your blueprint with personalization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no secret that today\u2019s digital marketplace is highly competitive.
