6 Ways to Deliver Personalized Customer Experiences

Higher customer satisfaction metrics are observed as a result of efforts concentrated on personalization. The customers today are more demanding than their counterparts were a decade ago, they want the brands to grasp firmly their needs and wants, and then meet them instantly. 

Put yourself in the customer’s shoes and now ask yourself: Would you prefer to spend time on a website where you get personalized recommendations and offers? Or how about a content that you can relate with or it relates with the recent purchase you have made? It prompts your response instantly, doesn’t it? 

That’s how significant personalized online experiences can be for your business. 

Personalization Opens Profitable Venue for Business

Not every purchase made by a customer is a rational one. Some purchases are driven by emotions, and emotions are quite personal to us. To get a grip on the concept, think of Amazon. What do you think makes brands like eCommerce platforms like Amazon successful? Personalized experiences of course. But how?  

Amazon uses its product recommendation engine that intrigues users to divert their focus from the main product they were looking for, to other products which might not be needed. The users end up diving deep into the product lines and finding the product that meets their eye. What makes the product recommendation engine on point is the additional five years of data running through Amazon’s algorithms.  

The Ideal Solution to Deliver Personalized Customer Experiences 

For your business to deliver personalized customer experiences and to make the most out of this strategy, you need a tool tailored to enable the business to create customer-centric experiences. To succeed in such a feat, you can go for the following six different ways: 

1. Predictive Scoring Method 

The primary focus of marketing competencies is staying on the lookout for new leads followed by qualifying them, and then sending them ahead to the sales competencies. But today, it has become difficult to do so.  

The buyers surf the internet anonymously while using the channels we can’t control, at least not all of them. The questions arise, such as: How do we identify prospects? What are their demographics? What are they looking for on our website?” 

To resolve these queries, the AI-driven Predictive Scoring Method in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights helps businesses to forecast or predict a wide array of business results such as: 

  • Pre-qualified leads  
  • Number of leads that need to be nourished 
  • Number of opportunities expected to generate higher yield in a particular time period. 

The Predictive Scoring Method assists businesses in forecasting results with more accuracy while incorporating all the possible limitations and constraints. It also gives you detailed information of the leads generated to effectively guide them towards conversion. There is an additional feature of wielding the Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) to make informed and customer-centric decisions.  

2. Predictive Matching Feature 

The definition of a customer in a CRM and a marketing system can be different. When different systems treat a particular entry differently, the results would be ambiguous, hence the data extracted will not only be dispersed and difficult to manage, but it will also not be utilized effectively as it would not be centered on the intended objective.  

By employing advanced Customer Insights tools such as Predictive Matching, you can consolidate your data by matching data from unique fields into a unified profile. This way, your sales and marketing strategies will also be aligned since a unified data set will be employed which will eventually help in curating customer-centric offerings as well as better customer experiences.   

3. Meticulous Insights of Customers

Without the availability of such information, the achievement of the end-goal I.e., lead nurturing and conversion, will be compromised, as the strategy built to convert that lead into a customer will not be devised adequately due to lack of information.

  • Advertisement 
  • Digital marketing 

5. Data Consolidation and Customer Segregation  

Traditional, observational, and behavioral customer data sets are different from one another but they need to be unified in a comprehensive manner for customer-focused decision making.
