Understand Your Customers, Give Them Relevant Experiences

In the digital economy, customers expect personalized experiences on every channel. Anything fewer risks being dismissed as noise. Businesses need to understand the customer context: what customers have already done, what they’re doing right now, and what they are likely to do in the future. Without this, marketers cannot anticipate or meet the needs of their audience.

According to The Contextual Marketing Imperative, an October 2015 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of SAP, with 1 200 global consumers and 200 advertising as well as marketing professionals, there is a distinct gap between consumers’ expectations of personalized marketing and what marketers are actually delivering today – 44% of consumers said they receive too many offers and promotions, and 37% delete most email offers and promotions without reading them. Furthermore, 40% have unsubscribed or opted out because they felt overwhelmed. Consumers are truly in a state of information overload.

Today’s consumers are savvy they know companies are collecting their personal information and using it to market to them. Seventy percent of consumers are aware that companies use personal information to send them targeted offers; 64% are aware that companies purchase and use their personal information, and 44% are willing to share information about their interests in order to receive more relevant content and offers. In fact, a large majority of consumers (74%) said they are somewhat or very comfortable with companies using data about them to provide personalized experiences.
