Personalizing beyond the most basic level
Personalization is fundamental to our strategy

Immediate ROI / Conversion rate lift
Median figures AND slated toward success
The larger question and one that’s still open…how does personalization affect retention? Should have a positive effect…but in theory there are ways it can c

The larger question and one that’s still open…how does personalization affect retention? Should have a positive effect…but danger in going too far, especially with people you barely know…but that’s not the primary concern
BIG problem might be the bubble, where a customer gets content or service that’s so personalized that their relationship with you.
Targeting around a life-stage like early parenthood can be very effective, but you need to expand the relationship and be ready to make the leap to other stages/other kinds of relationship
Personalizing beyond the most basic level
Explicit – user driven
Explicit – user driven – great and powerful – but can be too much of a good thing – be smart and judicious about giving control over things like frequency – once you give a specific # you had better stick to it.
Structured…user driven and fits nicely into a database
Personalizing beyond the most basic level
But as time goes on we have less explicit/structured data and more implicit/unstructured data…so we have to be good at picking up cues, learning from them and reacting to them without being weird.
Personalization based on what we know (as opposed to what they say) IMPLICIT…where/when/search terms/lead score/pages viewed and more advanced behaviors

BUT it’s not just tech sophistication…it’s about reading those implicit signals we were talking about
Personalizing beyond the most basic level
Usage doesn’t equate to usefulness. Third party data is often a necessity to fill out our databases…things like product recommendation engines look a lot simpler than they are…even Amazon gives weak recommendations…and it’s a lack of data to blame. Third party data is like third-party everything…it varies wildly and if it’s cheap, there’s always a reason.

Products and “shared spaces” – meaning apps and sites that are useful, not just marketing and CS. For example, it’s nice to be able to change mobile phone features on a website but we’d rather do it on the fly from the device.
The device and its apps are a good example of shared space.
An automobile is another example…where does marketing end and co-created experience begin
What are we talking about…
Human / Robot balance…emphasis on human strategy over minor tweaks…getting mired in what works…first. LOOK AT REPORT
