Increase Conversions on Content Rich Websites Using Personalization

Editor's Notes

  • #2: David to intro.
  • #4: Karl will speak here
  • #5: Karl will speak here
  • #6: David speak here
  • #8: Karl will speak here
  • #9: Dan? As a company or marketing team, you can make the decision that content is important and give it staff and a budget, but you can’t create it for the sake of creation If content is going to drive business, it has to connect with your audience so that they want to stay on your website and keep interacting with you
  • #10: Karl speak here In order to create content that engages, there has to be something about it that speaks to your audience When your content is a conversion tool, it has to speak to the specific needs of your ideal buyer Humans are great at filtering out information they don’t immediately recognize as critical or relevant—you know this for a fact if you’ve ever tried talking to a teenager If you have multiple buyer personas, targeting visitors with the right message gets a little more challenging because you have to create content for each of them, and then make sure they see it when visiting your site
  • #11: Karl speak here Even as content marketing has grown, many marketing teams still struggle to produce as much content as they think they will need to move the needle in the right direction Quality and relevance are important, it’s not just about quantity But it’s an ongoing effort that gives repeat visitors a reason to keep coming back until they are ready to become customers—one blog post, one white paper is rarely enough to feed that relationship
  • #12: Dan? If generating enough content is not a problem, chances are you’re on the other end of the spectrum: You have great content and lots of it, and enough so that really great content gets lost in the shuffle and never reaches its intended audience We’re all extra impatient on the web, and want both the ability to get plentiful information on any subject, and also to get exactly what we want as quickly as possible—you don’t want visitors to your site having to work hard to find information once they get there—the good stuff should rise to the top. Marketers can use personalization to help filter for only what the audience is interested in
  • #13: Karl speak here
  • #14: Karl wrap up and do transition
  • #15: Dan to talk here.

  • #26: Welcome new or returning visitors and point out relevant content based on referring source or past behavior. Keep visitors engaged by introducing other relevant content!
  • #27: Dynamic CTAS! Don’t waste valuable real estate on irrelevant sliders or out of date CTAs. Promote the right CTA for each visitor at the right time.
  • #28: Dynamic CTAS! Don’t waste valuable real estate on irrelevant sliders or out of date CTAs. Promote the right CTA for each visitor at the right time.
