The last few years, we’ve seen hyper-personalization take the marketing world by storm. When we detailed customer experience (CX) in a previous blog, we learned that consumers today are looking for an all-encompassing experience with the brands they love. Hyper-personalization goes a step further in guaranteeing that each consumer will remember their experience with your business.

Employing hyper-personalization as a marketing strategy utilizes artificial intelligence (or AI) and real-time data to provide users with more relevant content, product, and service information. Businesses like Amazon, Netflix, and Starbucks have already begun using this method to engage consumers and win over their attention.

How Does AI Work?

For example, Amazon tracks what products consumers are viewing and makes recommendations accordingly. Those unique and customer-specific recommendations show up in email form to the customers inbox or at the landing page of their Website. Netflix has a similar strategy and recommends shows and movies based on a customer’s previous views. Starbucks employs personalization through their app interface, creating a personalized experience for each customer.

Consumers enjoy the employment of AI by these larger companies because it creates a convenient way to utilize that brand or service. Customers feel cared for when they feel that a company has taken measures to ensure their experience goes smoothly. Personalization has come a long way since the simple algorithm that changes the greeting of an email to be the customer’s name.
