Hyper-personalisation focuses on tailoring marketing to individual customers, with a particular emphasis on customer-centric and data-driven marketing.<\/p>\n
It employs advanced technologies such as analytics, artificial intelligence, automation, and machine learning to create tailored value propositions that are relevant and appealing to individual customer needs and wants.<\/p>\n
Hyper-personalisation is the key to delivering exceptional customer service.<\/p>\n
It enables businesses to be hyper-intuitive, connecting with customers at the right time and with the right information.<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0Forbes<\/strong><\/a>, brands that provide a superior customer experience generate 5.7 times more revenue than their competitors<\/p>\n For example, a customer of\u00a0Chewy<\/strong><\/a>, an American pet food retailer, lost both of her pets in the space of one week.<\/p>\n When she contacted Chewy about returning unused pet food, they not only processed a full refund and picked up the food right away, but they also sent the customer a bouquet of flowers a few days later with a personalized note of condolences for her loss.<\/p>\n Another example is\u00a0Amazon<\/strong><\/a>, which generates more than 35% of its revenue by curating customer experiences through hyper-personalization; for example, on their Kindle platform, where they recommend new books to customers based on previous purchases on their e-commerce platform.<\/p>\n So, what do Chewy, and Amazon have in common?<\/p>\n They connect the dots and use existing data to create tailored value propositions that are relevant and appealing to the needs and wants of individual customers.<\/p>\n What distinguishes Chewy and Amazon from their competitors is their ability to connect with their customers at the right time.<\/p>\n Hyper-personalisation is all about connecting with customers at the right time and with the right information to either identify an upsell opportunity or improve customer experience, fostering stronger relationships, and developing customers for life.<\/p>\n The collection of customer data by businesses will only grow in the future.<\/p>\nMany pundits have dubbed data the \u201cnew oil\u201d of the 21st century, but only a few businesses are truly leveraging it to create unique customer experiences and new revenue streams.<\/strong><\/h2>\n
