Just how much of a big deal is
personalization going to be? If a recent study from Adobe holds true, marketers
will regard personalization highly in the next few years. More specifically, it’s
the one capability that marketers will try to prioritize more in the future.
This study, aptly titled “Digital Roadblock:
Marketers Struggle to Reinvent Themselves”, only shows how aware marketers are
on how their roles will change in the next three years, though only a few of
them expressed confidence in taking risks and embracing changes to remain
competitive.
Mobile and Social Media as
Marketing Vehicles
Personalization, however, is one of the last
things marketers would prefer to focus on right now. The same study reveals
that 61 percent of marketers see social media as the most critical marketing
vehicle a year from now, while half of them cited mobile.
Personalizing Experiences
Online and Offline
Though marketers are aware that personalized
marketing
will reign supreme in the future, a couple of brands have already integrated
personalization in their physical stores and their digital counterpart. This is
to meet consumers’ increasing demand for more personalized and customized
services similar to what they experience in Amazon and Netflix.
With brands beginning to infuse personalized
experiences to a consumer’s shopping journey, it’s only wise to follow suit, or
risk losing customers. It helps to find providers offering solid solutions to
personalized marketing campaigns. Yet, like most marketing strategies,
investing in personalization begins with having the drive, perseverance, and
creativity to provide consumers with a customized shopping experience that can
make them feel valued.
