ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS EMPTY WHITE SPACE HERE
THERE ARE PLENTY OF TALKS YOU CAN ATTEND ON ONLINE BEHAVIORAL ADVERSITING. MOST OF THEM MAKE ME SAD. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE
INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNING

ENTER THE “EXPERIENCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM”
LET YOU CREATE TARGETED VERSIONS OF YOUR OWN SITE
JUST A FEW GLOBAL BRANDS USING SOME KIND OF “EMS” TODAY
OPEN SOURCE TOO, PEOPLE!

YOU WILL HAVE A CHOICE.
WHAT WE’LL LOOK AT NEXT
TARGETING STRATEGY
STEP 1 | DO WE EVEN NEED TARGETING?
Does the pool have water in it?
GOOD REASONS TO TARGET
BAD REASONS TO TARGET
REMEMBER!
TARGETING ITSELF IS NOT A GOAL. IT’S JUST ANOTHER TOOL IN THE TOOL BOX.
EXAMPLE: CONTENT GUIDING PRINCIPLES
AUDIENCE SEGMENTS
STEP 2 | WHO ARE WE TALKING TO?
Once you have your mission, you can begin segmenting your audience.
WHAT’S A SEGMENT?
SEGMENTS ARE DETERMINED BY DATA
BEHAVIORAL TRAITS
DEMOGRAPHIC TRAITS
USER DATA: TWO TYPES TO KNOW ABOUT
SOME DATA IS BETTER THAN OTHERS
SOME IS BETTER THAN OTHERS.
HAPPY PLACE
BIG BROKER IS WATCHING YOU.

STEP 4 | HOW DO WE KNOW IT WORKS?
The “so what.”
DOES IT WORK?
Personalization ability is only as good as your ability to measure it. KPIs are key to proving that targeting is improving your business goals. Examples: Agency TBG now estimates that their clients who implement personalized content can see a 10-20% lift in key performance indicators, such as sales.1 By adding personalized recommendations to it’s online store, shoemaker Rockport reported an increase in average order value by 32% and conversion rate by 10%. 2 On the B2B side, the data backup firm Iron Mountain was able to increase their referrals for health care clients by an impressive 123% when they showed a personalized message on their homepage, according to partner Demandbase.3
