About Event

Personalisation is a powerful tool in the world of eCommerce. It develops trust with potential customers that can be the differentiator between ‘visit’ or ‘interest’ and closing the transaction. By fine-tuning the opportunity that personalisation affords you can optimise sales value and margin while nurturing customer loyalty.   As consumer appetite for deeper personalisation matures, building new functionality into your multi-channel platform that builds an emotional connection with your customers will place you at a competitive advantage.   Vendors are jostling for your attention, with a host of innovative solutions available to assist you in your journey. From AI-powered and psychographic personalisation to technologies that are designed to encourage longer shopping horizons or automate opportunity mining. The opportunities are out there, but they have to be right for your business, otherwise, you will not realise a return on your investment.

Creating differentiated experiences at scale
Today’s consumers expect to be understood and treated as individuals. Personalisation in retail hasn’t always kept pace. This is because retailers are faced with an array of disparate data sources and shopper signals. The challenge is harnessing this, enrichening it and analysing it in a way that they can understand and act on customer intent in real-time, to deliver the right experiences. Every touch point on the customer journey is an opportunity to properly harness data and create these experiences – from search to navigation, product pages, to basket pages and re-engagement. Let’s take you through how we successfully deliver differentiated experiences at scale using AI, by deploying the best combination of multi-sourced algorithms to work alongside a human-led strategy.
