We have all heard the buzz around personalization the key to orchestrating a customer experience that will drive engagement, conversions, and loyalty. Unfortunately, implementing personalization continues to be a challenge for marketers due to an inability to collect data across multiple customer touch points and unify that data across tools into one customer profile. About 80 percent of companies don't understand their buyers beyond basic demographics and purchase history, and 96 percent of marketers struggle to build a single view of customers, according to VentureBeat. The reality is that personalization throughout the customer journey means nothing without data. It is not possible to deliver the right message at the right time without knowing and understanding the needs and desires of each individual buyer. Even those marketers who invest in technologies to capture customer data are limited by their inability and resource to connect information across all of their various systems. If marketers want to meet the constantly growing digital expectations of their customers, they must be able to unify data in a way that provides a single view of customer engagements across channels and devices.
