MOBILE MARKETING NEWS


Days of mass-marketing winding down

“Selfie,” “my favorites,” “wish list,” “recommended for you,” “items you may like” – all popular words and phrases defining the state of today’s consumers, signaling to marketers that it is time to say goodbye to the days of mass-marketing and hello to one-on-one conversations.

We are now in the “all about me” era in which well-informed and proactive customers demand personalization from brands across all touch-points. In fact, this expectation for marketers will only increase as we head into 2015 with more tools at our disposal.

Recent studies have even revealed that 40 percent of consumers are more likely to buy from retailers who personalize according to their preferences.

Additionally, 59 percent of customers believe it is easier to find the items that they are looking for when brands personalize the experience and 39 percent tend to buy more if retailers offer recommendations based on their past purchases.

While consumers are demanding more control, marketers are using innovative strategies to collect customer data to deliver on a personalized brand experience.

The following highlights approaches that some marketers are using to gain customer insights to fuel this effort.
