How Personalisation Shapes Modern Consumer Choices
The ability to deliver a personalised experience is a crucial differentiator for today’s consumer oriented companies the McKinsey Quarterly recently stated.
McKinsey also reported 71% of consumers require companies to deliver personalised interactions and 76% get frustrated when this doesn’t happen.
With the rise of digital-first experiences and the success of industry leaders like Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify, customers no longer just hope for personalised experiences – they expect them.
Consumers who are inundated with choices want tailored interactions. Whether they’re shopping for groceries, fashion, beauty products, or home appliances, they want experiences that feel curated, intuitive, and seamless.
A one size fits all approach no longer works. Instead, consumers reward brands that know them and recommend the right product at the right time. Brands that communicate through preferred channels and align with individual tastes and values.
Companies that excel at personalisation generate 40% more revenue than their average counterparts.
They also increase:
- Customer satisfaction by making a customer feel seen, heard, and understood with tailored content.
- Customer loyalty by encouraging more information or content about the brand to be looked for.
- Return on marketing investment by helping gain more loyal followers.
- Lead generation by building trust that encourages a willingness to provide feedback and information.
Essential to achieving successfully customised interactions is accurate data collection and analysis. Up to date data helps marketers gain deeper insights into customer behaviours and preferences. It helps define customer segmentation by analysing behaviour and demographics and then grouping audiences more effectively. It informs dynamic personalisation that can be instantly updated based on user behaviour and preferences.
