To advance personalization:
Use customer behavior data and predictive analytics to anticipate needs by monitoring web page time, product categories, and search terms.
Engagement rhythms reveal optimal email opening times, preferred channels, and engaging content.
Purchase cycles indicate product buying frequency, aiding in understanding seasonal behaviors, especially for beauty and cleaning brands.
Intelligent anticipation identifies preferred message types, such as product tips, reminders, or promotions.
Customers expect relevant personalization
Consumers expect relevant product or service recommendations, and using predictive analytics correctly benefits them.
