At AIM Internet, we have agencies all over the Black Country. Our remarketing agency in Dudley wanted to share an article which highlights why personalisation in digital marketing is a great marketing trend.
The Personalisation In Digital Marketing Trend
If you haven’t heard this latest buzz phrase yet, you’re missing out. “Personalised marketing at scale ” might be fast becoming the newest digital marketing trend. However, it’s far from being a throw-away gimmick. It represents a new way of thinking that will permanently transform our media approach.
In essence, it’s the ability to reach different consumers with different creative messages. As opposed to having to have a single TV advert that everyone sees. It means you can subtly tailor your executions based on demographics, interests, location or even purchase history. This allows you to reach millions of consumers, each with something that seems personally relevant and interesting. The tweaks can be subtle, like different copy or video thumbnails, or can be more dramatic. Brands could, for instance, position themselves entirely differently to excite teenagers versus the parental audience who might actually be the ultimate purchasers.
Lets look at some examples…
The Cadbury Facebook page is a good example of this. Looking at it, you’ll sometimes see a cheeky Creme Egg update next to a family friendly suggestion of a craft activity to do with their Egg’n’Spoon product. To the untrained eye it can look a little contradictory. However, using media targeting, the brand can actually make sure that millions of different people are seeing the respective posts. As well, they can see dozens of other iterations which may not ever be publicly shared on the page.
Coca Cola segmented the US Facebook population for its 2014 Super Bowl advert, reaching different groups of consumers with the same video. However, they used a different thumbnail and copy tailored to their interests and demographics. The big issue to watch out for in all of this is ensuring that however detailed you go with your targeting, you still ladder up to an overall significant level of reach.
On the flip side…
It’s early days, and we’re only beginning to see evidence that this added personalisation adds value. However, on a micro level it’s immediately obvious. Think of your own social feeds or email inbox. You’re much more likely to pay attention to updates that are relevant to you. On the flip side, you’ll probably get annoyed when something invasive, irrelevant and totally spammy pops up.
The effect is magnified on your mobile phone. We’re all used to sharing TVs and computers and seeing relatively generic messages there, but a mobile is a very personal space. Anything not relevant to who you are, where you are, and what you’re doing feels out of place. The impact on digital actions/engagement is immediate and positive. Although, these do not ultimately correlate with sales or ROI, that’s only the tip of the iceberg in terms of proving the value.

We love the history of Dudley and the Black Country. Are you looking to do some remarketing for you business in Dudley? If so, we thought you would be interested to know some facts. You may already know area name ‘Black Country’ was given in the mid nineteenth century. This was due to the amount of smoke which came from the ironworking forges and foundries. Dudley is known and The Black Country’s ‘capital’. In 1974 it was found as a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands. Dudley was also one of the locations where the Industrial Revolution began. In the nineteenth century, it became a manufacturing centre with its iron, coal, and limestone factories. However, they began to decline in in the 1980s. Therefore, they moved their commercial centre to the nearby Merry Hill Shopping Centre.
