Engaging Shoppers When and Where it Matters Most:
In a digital age, where consumers are subject to thousands of ads each week, it’s increasingly difficult for marketers to understand the critical moments of impact and translate impressions into purchases. From a personalization perspective, the ‘who’ and ‘what’ are essential, but they’re no longer enough to move the needle on their own. The crux of personalization as we approach 2024 is real-time relevance which goes beyond the “who” and “what,” and digs into purchase behaviors and motives to understand why a consumer shops as well as “where” and “when” to best reach them throughout the purchase process.
