Personalization isn’t just a big idea anymore — it’s a customer expectation. Your customers want to be seen, heard, and understood … as unique, individual human beings.
When it’s done correctly, personalization guides them to answer their questions of, “Is this for me?” “Is this about me?” “Can I trust this?” in turn increasing conversion, minimizing churn, and maximizing repeat and referral business.
So what does that look like? Well, according to this McKinsey & Company report, 71% of consumers expect personalization, and 76% get frustrated when they don’t find it.
What are some things they’re looking for in this personalization zone at the beginning of their experience with your brand? They want your brand to tailor messaging to their needs, celebrate their milestones, send timely communication in critical moments, and personal follow-up post-purchase.
You see, your customers are on a journey — they want timely, personalized messaging tied to key moments along the way, not bots using generic, one-size-fits-all messaging.
What happens when this personalization is done right? What happens when you’ve prioritized attention, trust, clarity, and confidence through personalization? 76% of consumers say they’re more likely to purchase, and 78% say they’re more likely to repurchase and recommend your brand.
