The world has become increasingly saturated with millions of options available to consumers. So, it has become extremely important for enterprises to limit the choices they offer their customers. The best way to do this is to provide customized and catered offers which are specific to individuals. Personalization engines make that process easier for enterprises. Organizations in this niche provide technological solutions that help create customized digital experiences for individual consumers.
Moreover, by collecting and analyzing customer information, personalization engines also help in communicating with individual consumers. Thus, any form of communication, be it messages, emails, or newsletters, can all be personalized to an extent for specific customers. Thereby provoking an open dialogue and subsequently ensuring customer loyalty.
Organizations today are successfully expanding this niche field. With evolving innovation and expertise in the field of Big Data, AI and Machin Learning, they have made it easier for enterprises to provide customized services for to their consumers. And while most them are from North American or European soil, the personalization bug has spread to the other side of the world too. In fact, study reports have revealed that APAC marketers and consumers are more inclined to personalized marketing than their Western counterparts.
Adobe and Econsultancy released a joint report earlier this year, the “Digital Intelligence Briefing: 2018 Digital Trends.” It mentions that APAC marketers are more open to digital personalization and are willing to invest in the skills and technology required for it. About 34% of marketers from APAC are ready to utilize personalization engines for better customer engagement. On the other hand, only about 16% of North American marketers feel the same way.
Quite obviously, there is a lot of potential for personalization engine platforms to grow in the APAC region. With many MNCs and newer start-ups investing in the power of digital personalization, it no longer seems like a niche field.
