How Brands can Customize Digital Experience for customers

Digital Experience occurs at a variety of avenues, such as the business website, the smartphone application, the e-store, and so on. And depending on the specific avenue, brands can look to personalize their user experience through various means. The following are various aspects that brands need to be conscious about to ensure an appealing and customized digital experience for their target customers:

1. KYC: Knowing your customer is perhaps the most important aspect of customizing the user experience. This would involve leveraging the data that the customer’s activity on your website generates, such as the different pages clicked, products viewed and compared, and so on. Additionally, data regarding previous purchases made by the customer could also be helpful in assessing the customer preferences and needs on an individual basis.
2. User-adaptable web elements: Various elements on your website could mould themselves to ensure a higher level of relatability to the customer. For example, the choice of products showcased, the default website language, and if possible, the colour scheme and site layout.
3. Personalized brand communication: Depending on the past responses of the customer, the type of promotional content that is sent out as part of marketing campaigns as well as the product recommendations on the brand’s website, app or e-store could be personalized to have a higher level of appeal. Such personalization promotion involves not just highlighting specifically what appeals to every customer but also not cluttering it with other lesser preferred items that may reduce the impact of such personalization. According to the Custom Content Council, as many as 61% of consumers say that they are more likely to buy from and have a better experience when a company delivers customized promotional content.
