Recently, Amazon offered its customers a $10 coupon on Prime Day in return for letting Amazon track the websites and content their customers were viewing. By allowing Amazon to track what they are searching for on rival websites, such as Target and Walmart, users are de facto equipping Amazon with an unprecedented amount of data, enabling Amazon to revolutionize personalized marketing. Amazon is gaining valuable first-hand intent data that allows it to personalize the customer experience, revamp their digital presence and stamp out competition.
What does personalization mean in B2B?
Personalization is no longer a buzzword in the B2B world. Gartner predicts that B2B companies that personalize their sales and marketing will outsell competitors by 30 percent.
Personalization plays an especially strategic role in Account-Based Sales and Marketing. Engaging customers with the right information at the right time can make the difference between winning a deal or losing out to the competition. Delivering compelling experiences requires timely execution by sales and marketing teams.
Reach the top tier of personalization
Key Tenets of Personalization
Prioritize and segment audience
The audience you’re trying to connect with is probably too broad and unprioritized. Segment and set goals on who and when to engage.
Syndicate content to stay fresh and relevant
ABM is a content guzzler. As a content marketer, you have to constantly create and custom tailor fresh, engaging content like videos, infographics, and articles. Creating fresh content is a time and resource-intensive task that can become an insurmountable challenge.
Stay fresh and relevant by syndicating 3rd party content and combining with your collateral.
Measure the right KPIs
Measuring client engagement has gone beyond open rates and click-thrus. Use sophisticated AI-based tools to analyze first-hand intent data, prioritize and segment audience.
Fragmented processes and antiquated tools
ABM, a next-generation marketing science, is being performed using antiquated and fragmented tools. The end-to-end customer engagement lifecycles span multitudes of systems ranging from content marketing to marketing automation to sales enablement.
Gaining a single view across the customer engagement process is a strategic imperative.
