68% of consumers believe it’s important for businesses to tailor experiences based on their tastes and preferences (Oracle).

33% of consumers ended their relationship with a company because the experience wasn’t personalized enough (Forbes).

No brand, regardless of vertical or industry, can ignore the overwhelming customer demand to personalize every engagement. You might say “what’s new? We have been talking about it for years”. Very true, yet it still is as big a problem as ever.

Personalization means interacting with customers at the right time, with the right contextual message, and on the right channel. As it turns out, it’s a huge challenge, both marketing and technology-wise.
