Personalization Revolution: Creative Ways to Tailor Your Ad Content for Better Engagement
Today consumers are bombarded with ads everywhere they go—on social media, websites, apps, and even in their inboxes. But what makes an ad stand out? Personalization. Personalized ads don’t just grab attention; they make customers feel understood. When your audience sees content that speaks to their needs, interests, or buying habits, they’re much more likely to engage with your brand. So, how can you jump on this personalization revolution and tailor your ads for better engagement? Here are some creative ways to make it happen: 1. Leverage Customer Data for Hyper-Personalization The key to personalization is data. You can create hyper-targeted ads by using the information you already have about your customers—things like their browsing history, previous purchases, location, or even the time they spend on certain pages of your website. New Epsilon research indicates 80% of consumers are more likely to make a purchase when brands offer personalized experiences 2. Use Dynamic Ads to Show What They Want Dynamic ads allow you to automatically show relevant products or content to each user based on their behavior. This means the ad changes depending on who’s seeing it. 3. Segment Your Audience for More Relevant Messaging Not all customers are the same, so why show them the same ads? By segmenting your audience into groups based on demographics, purchase behavior, or preferences, you can tailor your messages to speak directly to each group. 4. Personalize Based on Time and Location Time and place matter when it comes to personalization. Adjusting your ads based on a user’s local time zone or geographic location makes them more relevant and timely. 5. Add a Human Touch with Personalized Videos Video content is incredibly engaging, but you can take it a step further by personalizing the experience. Personalized video ads can address viewers by their name or show content based on their interests or previous interactions with your brand. 6. Offer Personalized Discounts or Special Offers Nothing grabs attention like a personalized discount or offer. Use customer data to send special offers based on their past purchases, wish list items, or browsing history. Why Personalization Matters More Than Ever Consumers now expect personalized experiences from the brands they interact with. Generic, one-size-fits-all ads are quickly ignored. Personalization, on the other hand, increases engagement, builds trust, and leads to higher conversion rates. Fact: A study by SmarterHQ found that 72% of consumers say they only engage with marketing messages tailored to their interests. https://c.smarterhq.com/resources/Privacy-Personalization-Report.pdf How to Get Started with Personalization To successfully implement personalized ads, start by gathering as much data as you can about your customers, using tools like Google Analytics, CRM systems, or email marketing platforms. From there, create segments based on behavior, interests, or demographics, and use this information to craft your personalized ad strategy.

Growing Consumer and Business Interest in the Metaverse Expected to Fuel Trillion Dollar Opportunity for Commerce, Accenture Finds
Consumers eager to become active users of the metaverse and show high interest in problem-solving experiences related to fitness, retail, healthcare, travel and media Growing consumer and business interest in the metaverse as a creator economy and tool to enhance day-to-day tasks is expected to fuel a $1 trillion commerce opportunity by the end of 2025, according to findings Accenture released at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. According to the research, more than half (55%) of the roughly 9,000 consumers surveyed see the metaverse as a business opportunity for creating and monetizing content. Most (89%) C-suite executives also believe the metaverse will have an important role in their organization’s future growth, according to a parallel survey of 3,200 C-suite executives. The findings estimate 4.2% of company revenues, or a total of $1 trillion, could come from metaverse experiences and commerce by the end of 2025. The findings indicate 55% of consumers want to be active users of the metaverse and nearly all of them (90%) want to do so in the next year. The top features consumers want are easy-to-use interfaces (cited by 70%) and access to a wide variety of applications (68%), which outperformed more “form” features, such as flashy headsets (55%) and the ability to personalize avatars (55%). While gaming is appealing for 59% of metaverse users, only 4% of consumers see the metaverse as just a gaming platform. In fact, 70% say they intend to use the metaverse to access products and services across media and entertainment, fitness, retail, travel and healthcare. These preferences vary by age, with younger consumers more interested in media and fitness and those older in accessing health services in new ways. Still, what all have in common is a desire to enhance the things they already do every day, such as the experience of working-out at home (cited by 60%) or improving interactions with health professionals (55%). To fully capture the opportunity, businesses should be strategic about business model changes being enabled by the metaverse while engaging with all stakeholders to inform the experiences they create:
For Restaurants, Digital Channels Are Menu Must-Haves
The restaurant industry has gradually changed to meet customer expectations for convenient, seamless experiences. Then the pandemic hit, and this gradual shift drastically accelerated. Restaurants of all types had to embrace delivery and takeout because health concerns and lockdowns made sit-down dining impossible or undesirable. Digital sales channels, therefore, became essential to restaurants. Even as the worst of the pandemic winds down, the changes it wrought on restaurants will remain. Consumers are more accustomed to and desire digital methods when deciding where to eat and how to order and pay for meals than before the pandemic. The shift has been so profound that digital ordering and payment options are now central to the restaurant industry. In the July edition of the “Order To Eat Tracker®,” PYMNTS explores how consumers’ digital preferences are changing the restaurant industry. Around the Order to Eat Space According to a report from DoorDash, delivery and takeout are as popular as ever. The report found that, compared to 2021, 86% of consumers reported ordering takeout or pickup as much or more this year. For delivery, the share dropped slightly to 83%. The report also found that digital ordering methods were becoming more popular, with the share of consumers using delivery apps, such as DoorDash or Uber Eats, rising from 15% to 24%. A similar rise occurred in the use of restaurant websites, while the portion of consumers calling in an order dropped from 29% to 10%. As digital ordering becomes more popular, restaurants are experimenting with novel ordering methods. Taco Bell, for example, recently opened a location in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, that overhauled the drive-thru experience. Called Taco Bell Defy, this Taco Bell’s drive-thru has four lanes, two stories and vertical lifts to bring orders from the kitchen to the customers waiting below. The goal is to decrease service times and provide customers with a seamless, convenient ordering experience. For more on these and other stories, visit the Tracker’s News and Trends section. Pizza Guys on Why Digital Ordering Is No Longer Just an ‘Option’ With more consumers seeking out online ordering and payment methods, digital channels have gone from being optional to mandatory for restaurants, according to Michael Morgan, vice president of operations at Pizza Guys. In this month’s Feature Story, Morgan explains how his company has navigated this digital transformation and how Pizza Guys is meeting customer expectations through its ordering and payment options. Payment and Ordering Options Are Key to Customer Satisfaction The disruptions caused by the pandemic and the overall growth of technology are transforming the restaurant industry. Although the pandemic has impacted all aspects of the restaurant experience, it has affected the ordering and payment experience in particular. Digital ordering, for example, is now immensely popular, with 57% of consumers preferring to order takeout or delivery through a digital app. In terms of payments, a growing number of consumers prefer a contactless or digital payment method to a physical one. Shifts like these mean that restaurants must embrace digital solutions to meet customer expectations. This month’s PYMNTS Intelligence explores how a restaurant’s payment and ordering methods are key to customer satisfaction.
Diverse Audiences Driving OTT Usage & Viewing
By George Winslow Accounting for over 40% of homes consuming OTT content on CTVs, “diverse audiences represent a huge force and key driver of overall streaming growth,” Comscore said NEW YORK—New research from Comscore is highlighting a long-overlooked trend, namely the important role that diverse audiences from the African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American communities are playing in driving rapid growth in streaming and OTT video consumption. New Comscore data shows that those diverse audiences accounted for 41% of the U.S. homes viewing OTT content on connected TV devices, making them “a huge force and key driver of overall streaming growth,” the report concludes. The researchers also stressed that “diverse segment’s adoption of streaming content is outpacing the average, especially among African-American, Hispanic, and American Indians.” The data is particularly notable given the long-standing difficulties many members of those communities have in getting access to high-speed broadband and other digital services. Comscore used data from March 2019 to March 2022 to analyze the impact of diverse audiences on OTT viewing. During this time period, African American OTT households increased 35%, Hispanic OTT homes increased 41%, Asian OTT homes increased 69%, and American Indian OTT homes increased 66%. Diverse audiences also increased their share of WiFi homes watching OTT from 24.7 million homes (39% of all OTT homes) in 2019 to 34.6 million (41% of all OTT homes in the U.S.) in March of 2022. When it comes to OTT hours watched per household, African Americans saw a 66% increase between March 2019 and March 2022, and American Indians increased their OTT viewing by 88% during this time period, a much faster growth than the 34% increase in OTT viewing for the whole of the U.S. In March 2022, African Americans watched 163 hours of OTT content versus 122 hours for the nation as a whole, while Hispanic households viewed 133 hours. In terms of streaming services African-American households are using 6.3 streaming services—more than the national average of 5.4 services—and Hispanic households are using slightly above average at 5.6 services. Asian households under indexed the national average, however, with 4.9 services.
