2) Designing a Personalization Strategy for Your Business
Gabe Wahhab, HubSpot, GTM Manager, CMS
As businesses adapt to doing more with less, personalization at a minimal level has become a necessity. Delivering true customization can seem daunting– but it doesn’t have to be.
At least 83% of consumers are willing to share personal data to enable personalized content for them. The idea is to implement strategic tactics by starting small, setting goals, and making sure your customer database is clean and up-to-date.
It's necessary to walk through how implementing a personalized marketing strategy can draw your customers in, from customizing a website for each visitor to setting up timely and responsive lead generation campaigns. Mr. Wahhab shows us how to deliver a truly custom experience for each individual across various audiences.
Key Takeaways:
- Working together, aligned teams can deliver high-impact marketing activities, increase sales effectiveness, and ultimately grow customer satisfaction.
- Clean your data every 6 months at a minimum and purge data you don’t need.
- Map out your customer journey and look at the path users are taking through your site and the touch points they encounter.
3) The Netflixization of Marketing: Turning Creativity Into Marketing Fuel
Lindsay Tjepkema, Casted, CEO
Content creators who get creative, authentic, and engaging will be rewarded. However, what about the ROI on that creativity? Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and even TikTok have raised the bar on audience expectations. Whether that means creating content on behalf of an enterprise brand or a small business. It is critical to get creative and push ahead of today’s ever-growing competition.
In this session, Ms. Tjepkema talks about amplified marketing–a tactic used to empower marketers to pursue creativity and connection, while quantifying and maximizing business impact.
Key Takeaways:
- Always keep in mind these questions: Who is it for? Why are you doing it? How can you really put yourself in the shoes of the customer?
- Brands today must provide 3 things: 1) An authentic connection 2) useful content that helps solve problems and 3) A sense of community
- Create audio and video content, such as webinars, podcasts, live events, and customer stories, then break it into clips, transcriptions, and key takeaways
4) Getting Smart About Smart Content
Smart content, or ‘personalization tokens’ as seen in HubSpot, gives the ability to dynamically customize any modules (text, images, videos, etc). Most companies have barely scratched the surface of smart content capabilities. Go beyond "Hi {first.name}" and create experiences that stand out and help convert by hyper-personalizing your marketing platforms at a larger scale.
In this session, Mr. Tatum explores how agencies can leverage smarter content across the HubSpot Marketing Hub and CMS database to make every touchpoint feel like it was created uniquely for each individual.
Key Takeaways:
- Take advantage of HubSpot personalization tokens
- Showcase your best stories, in front of the right people at the right time
- Help people get to know you by keeping the conversation going
