What is Personalization?
Refers to the practice of presenting
marketing assets to various prospects
optimized to their specific
characteristics (rather than presenting
the same asset to all prospects)
Don’t let ‘Personalization’
defocus you from
optimizing your funnel for
your Ideal Customer
Before Personalization
Know your ideal customer persona and optimize website and all
assets for them
Target by:
○ Professional characteristics
○ Personal characteristics
○ Online presence
○ Map specific journey step by step
○ Triggers and pushbacks
○ USP for each step of the journey
Optimizing per Persona
Examples
Preset optimized layout
and detail level for

Present your content in a
different language according to
country of IP Address or known
preference

according to the industry or

“ideal” early adopter, and later – start adding personas)
• Budget (do “basics” first, then personalize!)
• Level of Automation – if you have marketing automation –
personalization is much cheaper to implement
