What is Customisation
 User driven process

interaction

questionnaire approach

What is Personalisation?




Knowledge driven experience
Behavior – based
Is an ongoing incremental process
Content tailored to individuals based on
knowledge about their preferences and
behavior
 Enables you to quickly and easily tailor the
experiences of your visitors and customers
across all your interaction points

“The Right Information at The Right Time”
Why Personalise?






Get to know your visitors
Treat them as individuals
Deliver more appropriate content
Provide added value
Improve your customer service
Make the site easier to use – we’ll tell you
what you need to know
 Large websites - makes information easier
to find (or more correctly target information)
“Users of personalized sites
view at least 10 times more
pages then the four to five
page views common on
a non-personalized site”
Source: Internet.com
“Sites who fail to provide
relevant content and helpful
functionality drive away
approximately 40% of repeat
traffic”
Source: Forrester Research
Personalisation Requires
 A different approach to website design and
implementation – content separated from
design and its delivery method/channel
 Content to be tagged at a granular level
 Closer interaction with the complete
business – integration with your offline
activity
Personalisation Components
 The Key components
 User Profile
 Preferences
 Platforms
 Processes
User Profile
 Information on Visitors and customers (e.g.
registration data)
 Information on their browsing behaviour and
purchases (e.g. click streams)
 Events (searches and data/form feedback)
 Use of Data Mining / Artificial Intelligence to
deduce new rules
 A rich profile is The Key to personalisation
Platforms
 Information on delivery channels, www, wap,
call center (call me) etc
 User preferences for each channel (call work
number during day, home in evenings)
Business Rules
 Explicitly defined rules
 Constantly evolving (or should be)
 Can sometimes be hard to express
electronically
Rules Engine
 A system for applying the rules either online
or offline
 Adaptive, using Data-Mining/AI techniques
to deduce new rules based on other visitor
patterns
Visitor Relationship Marketing
 Establishing relationships
 Two way information flow - feedback on
product range
 Enhanced service elements/response times/
one-to-one contact with customers
 Mutual rewards and commitment (loyalty
scheme)
 Customer Retention
 Less running costs once established
Privacy Issues
 Key principles of consent, fairness and
transparency
 Shopping with a ski mask on
 Driving without license plates
 Big Brother is watching you
 Data Protection / Freedom of Information Acts
 When it goes wrong
 Intel, DoubleClick, Amazon buying circles...
 The Key is to “Remember information for
people, not about them”
