Personalized content is changing the world of marketing rapidly. With\u00a075 percent<\/a>\u00a0of consumers agreeing that content customized around their interests influences their decisions to purchase, it\u2019s crucial for marketers like myself to know who customers are and what makes them tick (and click). This informs how I should design a marketing strategy and craft messages that spark curiosity and interest. The best way to uncover the desires and demographics of customers? Data.<\/p>\n

How Data Informs Content<\/p>\n

Data helps marketers and publishers create content that is relevant to the consumer. Studies show that a lack of relevance leads to an\u00a083 percent<\/a>\u00a0decrease in engagement. Researchers can easily collect customer data through research tools that people want\u00a0to engage with. Curated quizzes, surveys, polls and contests are just a few ways Insticator helps marketers gain invaluable insights about their customers. This\u00a0data<\/a>\u00a0makes it easier to create a personalized experience that will boost both customer engagement and loyalty. Data also informs predictive analytics, which allows marketers to target the right customers at the right time with the right content.<\/p>\n

Why Customers Want to Engage<\/p>\n

If you have any reservations about collecting data from your customers, don\u2019t fret.\u00a0Studies<\/a>\u00a0show that\u00a083 percent<\/a>\u00a0of consumers say they are willing to share their personal information if it means enabling a personalized experience. They simply expect businesses to be transparent about how they are going to use their information. Customers also like\u00a0being heard<\/a>, which is why Insticator\u2019s polls, quizzes and surveys are so popular. As a marketer and blogger, I\u2019ve learned that having a conversation with my readers is more likely to engage them more than simply telling them what to do.<\/p>\n

How to Measure Engagement<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the point of curating personalized content if customers aren\u2019t engaged? My purpose as an informed marketer is to keep the customer happy. The best way to measure customers\u2019 happiness is to measure their engagement with the content I\u2019ve provided. Today\u2019s advanced analytics tools offer key insights into the effectiveness of ads and curated content. One of these tools is\u00a0RPM<\/a>, which measures estimated revenue per impression. RPM statistics allow marketers to see which content is generating the most revenue so they can keep doing more of what works.<\/p>\n

Emerging Trends<\/p>\n

Now that we know how data can powerfully inform content and how we can measure its success, where is all of this headed? After all, one of the best tools a marketer can have in his or her toolkit is novelty. Emerging trends in personalized content include enlisting\u00a0peer influencers<\/a>\u00a0based on who inspires your customers;\u00a0vernacular advertising<\/a>, which crafts marketing language related to a specific location\u2019s native dialect; and the use of\u00a0chatbots and artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0for a more straightforward conversation with the consumer.<\/p>\n

Marketers should remember that content is not universal and that the interests of demographics will evolve over time. Continuing to take the pulse of your consumer is of paramount importance. Look to Insticator for new ideas on how to both personalize content and collect data at the same time for an experience that benefits both the marketer and the customer \u2014 a win-win scenario.<\/p>\n
