Customizing content on the website addressed to the specific client is an important element of marketing communication, indirectly influencing customers’ purchase decisions. Currently, it is possible to manage the content displayed to your website visitor by using the Website Automation mechanism in the Automation Rules and Workflow. Using Website Automation rules allows displaying personalized messages to the contacts based on transactional-behavioral data. This can be done by adding the action Run Website Automation rule to the Automation Rules or in Workflow.
By selecting the appropriate rule, e.g. the one responsible for displaying a pop-up after contact’s visit to the specific website, it is possible to efficiently manage the content reaching the client.
The use of personalized messages allows you to shorten the time of customers’ purchase decisions, and thus reduces the likelihood of leaving your website due to the excess of messages and ads annoying the user.
