Organizations too quickly check the box on delivering “personal” experiences

© 2016 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 29

Organizations too quickly check the box on delivering “personal” experiences

It is a waste of everyone’s time to personalize

experiences that provide no real value to a

customer’s journey.

Be careful to understand and respect personal boundaries

Proceed with caution: be overt about collecting data, but covert about

communicating what you know about the customer.

eBusiness leaders must help organizations prepare for the next evolution of personalization, which will rely more on the pillars of individualization rather than segmentation.

The Story of Oakley

© 2016 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 43

An individualization strategy is defined by key technology investments that enable

four unique characteristics and differentiate it from a segmentation strategy

© 2016 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 44

1. Customers are identified and treated as a segment of one using rich customer profiles.

© 2016 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 45

2. Customer data is assessed in real-time and dynamically calculates intent.

© 2016 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 46

3. Personalized content is delivered equally across every screen and channel.

© 2016 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 47

4. Connected technologies enables far richer and more relevant engagements.

© 2016 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 48

› Experiences are built on each customer’s data and used to engage them as a segment of one.

› Engagement technologies capture, measure, and assess dynamically and in real time.

› Engagement is based on current behavior of the customer in the context of past behavior.

› Personalized experiences are seamless across screens, channels, and — most importantly — the digital touchpoints that exist across the enterprise.

Individualization is not segmentation!

. . . it is a business strategy that drives tactics and affects every part of an organization.
