The Evolution of Personalization in Marketing
Personalization in marketing has evolved significantly over the past few decades. The concept of 'segment of one marketing' illustrates how businesses have shifted towards catering to individual customer needs instead of grouping them into broader categories. As customer data collection methods have advanced, particularly with the rise of the internet, companies have been able to harness this data to create tailored experiences. Organizations must now integrate marketing and technology strategies to thrive in a competitive landscape influenced by sophisticated data analytics.
