Personalization for websites, mobile apps and other digital content has become a top priority for companies focused on the customer experience. But despite a huge investment in resources, content personalization remains a challenge for many digital teams. Some lack the required skills and strategy, while others are limited by a lack of data, disconnected technologies and misalignment of marketing and development teams. 

Acquia Personalization provides a no-code application built on Drupal personalization capabilities that helps digital teams overcome the obstacles to personalization, providing point-and-click functionality that lets anyone, regardless of technical skill, create and launch personalizations for digital experiences.

Why is personalization so hard? 

Audiences today expect brands to deliver highly relevant and personalized experiences that are tailored to their needs and interests. In fact, 74% of customers feel frustrated when website content isn’t personalized for them. That puts a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of digital teams to deliver the right content to customers in real-time, on whatever device or channel they are using at the moment. 

To do personalization well, marketers need deep insight into who their customers are, what they care about and what they want right now. But for many companies, the customer data and marketing technologies required to manage this omnichannel customer journey are unavailable – the data is often locked in silos across disparate systems, disconnected marketing technologies can’t provide the real-time intelligence marketers need, and IT resources to address these issues are scarce.

Adding to the frustration, many digital teams rely on legacy technology systems or new and highly complex website personalization software, neither of which provides the easy-to-use tools that marketers need to simplify personalization and keep it from becoming an all-consuming task.

To successfully personalize content, marketers need personalization software solutions that combine deep insight into the wishes and actions of customers with simple tools for tailoring content to meet their needs. That’s where Acquia Lift can help.
