Personalization
Tailoring experiences will continue to be a hot topic across industries, particularly in retail.
With 78% of consumers saying that personalized content makes them more likely to repurchase from a brand, it’s no surprise that businesses are bullish about investing in personalization over the next year. And the 2 key subtrends that came up in our analysis were hyper-personalization and segmentation.
Vanilla strategies don’t make sweet CX
We're focused on doing the right thing for the customer at the right time. For us, that means moving towards hyper-personalization, making sure we're delighting our customers rather than just serving them with a vanilla experience. Brands can do this by simply making the experience easier. There's a statistic that if you have one bad experience with a brand, you're 50% less likely to go back to that company. Focus on that customer experience and treat people as an individual and not a number or persona. Make it easy for them to transact or find that thing they're looking for or whatever it is that they come on your site for.
