When someone is attracted enough by your brand that they are prepared to give you their contact details, hoping to get more information, it makes sense to respond to them at a personal level. That’s how relationships start. And that is where the brand experience begins.
So when a prospective customer gives you their contact details they have a subconscious expectation of a response that is personal to them, not just another generic brochure. They are ready to start the supplier/prospect relationship.
But the relationship can't really start until you give recognition to them.
The continued use of generic brochures and communications does not make the prospect feel that they are being treated as an individual. And yet at the time the prospective customer asks for more information, you know who they are, where they live, their gender, and other personal details that you may have requested from them.
The adoption of personalised communications can greatly assist the relationship building process.
Some businesses/institutions have introduced one-to-one marketing, packaging the individual’s request for information with a personalised response. Travel, holidays, mobile phones, new cars, university prospectuses are some examples where the practice of personalisation has met with great success.
Customation has unique experience of introducing 'personalisation' into the marketing communication strategy, helping our customers develop powerful, flexible and economic solutions.
