We’ve analyzed more than 2 billion user journeys and 120 million purchases to determine what kind of revenue uplift you can get from various optimization and users personalization techniques. The scale and depth of data analyzed, as well as the independent assurance from PwC makes this study the first of its kind. Today, we will share how users personalization journey is in detail for the 2 billion users.

Personalization is a means to an end, relevant, timely customer experiences that increase sales and customer retention. Important areas you may not have considered yet, personalizing live customer journeys as they unfold in real-time, making decisions about which customers you should be talking to live, and selecting the right people with the right skills to talk to them.

Personalization depends on effective analytics that give you real insights into likely customer behavior.

Personalization

Most thinking about personalization is focused primarily on content and product recommendations. For example, if your customer is shopping for sports shoes, then maybe your recommendation analytics will suggest socks, related sports, equipment and shoe spray? Or if your customer bought jacket last year, maybe you highlight your most recent new jacket designs? And as we all know, there’s a Seattle-based online retailer that will recommend the most amazing things “inspired by your browsing history”! The predictions here are based on relationships between purchases of different products across many customers or across an individual customer’s purchase history.

Product recommendations are mandatory today, but to personalize customer journeys you need to extend the approach to other aspects of the customer experience.
