Brands can no more rely simply on content development and search engine rankings with cut throat competition and more than ever demanding customers. Websites with dynamic landing pages and interfaces fail short on the demands of converting casual visits into qualified leads. Brands more than ever are concerned to provide a more personal feel to engage the customers in order to attract them for conversion and loyalty.

It is here the concept of personalisation has arrived with websites getting more and more customised and personalised for better customer experience (CX). Personalised websites as a concept is all about displaying contents that fulfils the expectations of the users giving them the feeling of exclusivity and personal attention.

But how is personalisation put into place by brands? Are there platforms that assist them to create user tailored websites?

Yes
