8 reasons why you need AI led personalization tool

1. To understand consumers’ needs and wants at a much granular level: AI led personalization tools have completely changed how marketers generate insights about consumers. Linking data generated from social profiles, movement of the consumer, weather, behavior, etc. AI has led marketers to understand their buyers’ wants and demands at a much granular level.
2. To capture customer behavioral pathways at each stage of buyer’s journey: A digital customer will look for inspiration, then information, before finally seeking the best value for the given service or product. An AI-led personalization tool will allow you to tailor interactions according to each stage. These digital channels would then be used to create seamless and consistent messages.
3. Interactions only through customers’ preferred channel: Not all customers are keen on being swamped by messages from any brand. They prefer interactions to be offered through a particular channel if not more – be it an app, email, social media or even video. The personalization engine allows you to choose these channel preferences. The algorithms can then phase out consistent and relevant offerings to the customer across his decision journey and in his favorite channel.
4. Life events and social contexts: AI-led personalization tools are capable of looking into various episodes of a customer’s life and behavior during the seasonal events like Diwali, Christmas, etc. Analyzing this information enables the tool to send recommendations based on events and previous product purchase history.
5. Scale without any limitations: The consumer’s demands are dynamic. The tool used to market to such a dynamic set, therefore, needs to be able to consider this dynamism. AI enables understanding, reasoning, learning and then adapting insight, which means that each marketing initiative is personal.
6. Personalization payoff is massive: The need to integrate personalization in your marketing is no-more a nice-to-have, but a need-to-have. Companies who have adapted to this digital transformation are already reaping benefits. For being able to predict and offer relevant experiences as, when and how the customer wants, is far more profitable to the company’s bottom line than acquiring and cultivating new ones.
7. Real–time discounted offers: With a personalization engine, you can now offer your customers different discounted offers in real-time, based on various factors.
8. Engagement across all stages complete customer lifecycle: Using an omni-asset approach — featuring content, images, products, videos and more — marketers can reach each customer with personal and engaging communication at every stage of a customer buying cycle.
