Why is Personalization Important?

When we browse social media and other websites, we see hundreds of ads per day. That being said, it’s easy to see how attempting to grow your brand online can be daunting, as the grand market is so saturated already. However, by personalizing your content you can create a stronger connection between the brand and the customer, leading to increased customer loyalty and retention.

Sure, you want to make the type of content that works for your target market, but where do you start? It's simple, look at the data!

Using Data to Personalize Marketing

By using analytics tools, you can track how your audience engages with your content and gain insights into what works best for them. For instance, you can track the number of clicks, likes, shares, comments, and other metrics to see what content resonates with your target audience. This way, you can tailor your future content to their interests and preferences, which can help you gain more followers and ultimately grow your brand.

Moreover, analytics can also help you see what is currently working for your competition. By analyzing their social media accounts, websites, and other online channels, you can gain insights into their content strategy, engagement rates, and overall digital presence.

Here are some ways that data can be used to personalize your marketing:

Customer Segmentation

By dividing your customer base into specific segments based on demographics, interests, and behavior, you can tailor your messaging and content to each group. For example, if you have a clothing brand, you can segment your customers based on their age, gender, and buying history to send them targeted emails with specific offers.

This works great for content marketing, by better understanding your brand's demographic, you’re able to target which platforms they use the most and look at the style of content that large-scale competitors use on those platforms. All of this is publicly available data, just waiting to be used!

Behavioral Data

Behavioral data such as website browsing history, search history, and purchase history can be used to personalize your marketing efforts. For example, if a customer has been browsing your website for a particular product, you can retarget them with ads for that product or send them a personalized email with a discount offer.

The easiest clients to convert are those who’ve already seen you online! Retargeting ads focus on sending a consistent message to your audience.

Location-Based Data

Location-based data can be used to personalize your marketing efforts based on the customer's location. For example, if you have a chain of restaurants, you can send targeted offers to customers in the vicinity of a particular restaurant.

In addition to this, by working your campaign around local individuals, you know that your ad spend is not being wasted on people outside of your desired range.

Personalized Content

Start by examining your content history to identify the topics, formats, and channels that have generated the most engagement and conversions. This information can help you create content that is more relevant to your audience and more likely to be shared and viewed.

If you notice that your audience responds well to Instagram posts featuring styled in a particular way, you can create more of this type of content, giving people more of what they followed you for. By doing so, you're meeting your audience's preferences and increasing the likelihood that they'll engage with your brand in the future.
