Studies from Sitecore consumer brand loyalty study states the following:

1. 96% of customers would switch brands, if the brand promises one thing, and delivers another.

2. 80% say consistent shopping experiences, drive brand favorability

3. 66% of millennials find it highly aggravating when personalized advertising is off-target

These are the foremost reasons for customer disloyalty, in a world which is clamoring for 1:1 personalized experiences. Contextual marketing holds the key to resolve most problems around customer engagement and customer experiences.

Simply put – contextual marketing is a digital marketing model, aimed at targeted advertising to customers, based on the search terms or online browsing patterns. For example - The user searches for reviews on a top smartphone, reads 1-2 reviews and then reads an article about the best features of the smartphone. Thereafter, the user might open his social media page, and be shown ads for best smartphones under $500.

Contextual marketing can thereby be used to optimize conversions, improve customer experience, construct a 360 degree view of the customer, enhance & automate campaigns, and create seamless customer journeys.

Long story short- contextual marketing and 1:1 personalized experiences work hand in hand.

2. Personalize Forms

With Sitecore 9, a brand can even personalize forms on landing pages. Personalizing forms means that either you can have pre-filled information in the form fields, or you can choose to ask a different set of information, when users visit your website for the second time. This is also called Progressive Profiling aka ‘get more information’, the next time users fill out forms.

Creating a personalized form on Sitecore is pretty smooth. All we need to do is focus on particular sections of the form, and then set a ‘Trigger Goal’. In the Create Goal pop-up, you can fill in the details under goal label, and engagement value. Apart from this functionality, contextual marketing can be easily boosted with Sitecore by creating short, multi-page forms, producing more landing pages for forms, etc.
