Step 1: Define Your Objectives

First things first. I am listing down a few important questions you should ask before investing time, dollars and bandwidth in personalization.

The first step in your personalization journey is to define your objectives.

This involves identifying what you hope to achieve with personalization.

Your objectives could vary from increased consumer engagement, brand loyalty or sales.

It is important to set clear and measurable objectives. These objectives will help you track the success of your personalization journey.

According to a study by Epsilon, companies that set clear objectives for their personalization efforts are 2.5 times more likely to report an increase in sales.

Moreover, a study by Accenture found that 75% of consumers are more likely to buy from a brand that recognises them by name, recommends products based on their past purchases, or knows their purchase history.

Thus, your goals could include one or multiple of these advantages. This personalization integrated with bespoke services makes the experience go to the next level.

This data can be used to create personalized experiences for your customers.

There are numerous use cases of personalization based on consumer data. A few examples are product recommendations, preferred Categories, “Further to your last purchase” etc.

Consumer behavior further helps create personalized marketing campaigns.

Moreover, a study by Infosys found that 86% of consumers say that personalization plays a role in their purchasing decisions.
