The Anatomy of a Personalization System: Three Case Studies
Speaker: Derek Olson
Time: 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM Date: June 15
Track: Category 1
Is your website acting like it’s on a first date instead of a 10th wedding anniversary dinner?
This presentation is aimed at business owners, marketing professionals, user experience engineers, and content contributors who realize that the one-size fits all message of their website doesn’t quite fit anyone.
When does a personalized website add real value to the customer experience? How can you build measurement of this value into personalization systems?
In this presentation, we will:
- Learn how to recognize situations where personalized website content, emails or application functionality might lead to customer delight
- Take a tour of three real world examples, including a detailed look under the hood to see what makes them work
- Hear about some road-tested methods for combining off-the-shelf software with custom development and freeware that won’t break the bank
- Explore both explicit personalization (based on user-submitted data) and implicit personalization (based on “clickstream” info), and how they can be combined
- See first-hand the importance of measurement. We’re talking about traffic, conversions, sales, user behavior, and more.
