Agency Solutions

Are your broad, shotgun campaigns missing the mark?

Clients want campaign efforts that make meaningful connections with their audience and drive engagement and, ultimately, revenue.

Personalized Campaigns Create 1-1 Experiences and Get Results

Customers are savvy. They can spot generic marketing messaging a mile away. Which means the old “spray and pray” method, with its broad appeal sent to a general audience, just becomes more marketing noise. It’s a turnoff and most likely doesn’t drive action or show ROI that’s critical to a successful agency/client relationship.

Personalized efforts — campaigns that deliver a 1-1 experience for customers — are one key to getting the results your clients want and expect. In a survey of 364 marketing professionals conducted by the research firm Ascend2, 95% of them said personalization significantly improves campaign performance. When you speak to people as individuals, not as a massive collective, your efforts strike a chord.

 

3 Keys Findings of Personalization

Ascend2’s Personalization in Digital Marketing report published in January 2022 uncovered some eye-opening insights that every agency and marketer should know about. They can help you be the partner your client trusts to handle campaign efforts and grow their revenue. Here are 3 key findings on implementing personalization:

Finding #1: Positive Impact on Performance

As stated above, almost every marketer surveyed said personalization improved campaign effectiveness. That means delivering a 1-1 experience for customers isn’t a “nice-to-have” or a “hope-to-have.” It’s an absolute “must-have.”

Finding #2: Personalization Has Benefits

When asked, “What are the greatest benefits of a successful personalization strategy?” 49% of marketers pointed to increased customer retention. Keeping customers in the fold is crucial to improving their experience and increasing engagement, both of which were the next top answers in the survey.

Finding #3: The Importance of Relevant Content

Building loyalty and trust with your audience is the result of strategically implementing and executing personalization. According to marketers surveyed, creating/delivering relevant content is the most critical element needed to execute an effective personalization strategy.

95% of marketers said using personalization significantly improves campaign performance.

Personalization Works. But How Can I Implement It?

  • Make Sure You Have the Right Technology- Using smart email and CRM marketing automation eliminates outdated email blasts and saves time on your personalized strategy.
  • Unify Your Data and Your Process- When your data, marketing operations and sales operations are consolidated with a single-source view of each customer, you’re better able to send a targeted personalized message.
  • Eliminate a Bloated Technology Stack- By running a leaner, more efficient tech stack, you’re reducing data silos and enabling better end-to-end visibility of your customers, which helps deliver that all important 1-1 experience.

Why “Spray and Pray” Doesn’t Work

  • Meaniful customer connections are very low
  • Engagement is much less likely
  • Ineffectiveness means that resources and allocated budgets are wasted
  • Lack of 1-1 customer experience
  • Negative impact on agency value to client

Marketing Automation That Works
