The age of big data has raised customer expectations when it comes to the relevance and personalization of marketing campaigns. Unfortunately, according to a new report from Econsultancy, few marketers are delivering on those expectations of website personalization, especially on mobile.

Mobile Marketing Personalization is Possible

With the right mobile platform, marketers can go well beyond a personalized website experience to deliver timely, relevant communication with mobile campaigns that reach your subscribers wherever they are with tailored messages and promotions.

Mobile Name Dropping

Use personalization tools to pull in attributes that you’ve gathered about subscribers right in your messages. A personalized mobile campaign provides an easy way to call your subscribers by name and get their attention, amidst all their other incoming texts and app notifications.

Respect for Time Zones

Unsubscribe rates are high when marketers try to communicate during offensive hours on the “personal space” platform of the mobile phone. Collect data about customers’ time zones to respect their time and send valuable content in a ripple effect, rather than a blanketed blast.

Dynamic, Segmented Notices

Once you have all your customer data in a centralized marketing hub, you can communicate with only those people who are most likely to respond to your CTA. These personalized messages and special offers can make your communications feel like a one-to-one interaction.
