Managing personalised content with Adobe Experience Manager Sites.

Adobe Experience Manager Sites is designed to tackle the inherent complexities of large-scale content personalisation by providing features engineered expressly for efficient content creation, intelligent audience targeting and seamless delivery across multiple digital touchpoints.

Personalised content boosts consumer engagement.

Today’s digital environment is characterised by an abundance of information that is readily available. This leads consumers to expect brands to possess a nuanced understanding of their individual needs and preferences. The effectiveness of generic, undifferentiated content has diminished significantly as audiences increasingly seek out and engage with content that directly aligns with their specific requirements. This shift in consumer behaviour underscores the importance of incorporating personalisation as a core element of brands' marketing strategies, enabling them to capture attention and foster meaningful connections with their target audience.

Personalised content, the tangible outcome of a well-defined personalised content management strategy, is digital content — such as website text, visuals, videos and recommendations — that has been specifically adapted to align with the distinct characteristics, preferences or past interactions of an individual user. The cornerstone of effective personalised content lies in its relevance to the intended recipient. When content directly addresses a user's specific needs, interests or challenges, it demonstrates a clear value proposition, significantly increasing the likelihood of capturing their attention and prompting desired actions. Examples of personalisation include product suggestions based on a user's browsing history, dynamic website content that adapts to a visitor's location or behaviour and targeted email campaigns that cater to specific areas of interest.

Adobe Experience Manager Sites emerges as a leading digital experience platform, offering a comprehensive suite of tools and functionalities that empower organisations to implement personalised content management at scale effectively. This platform empowers marketing and IT teams to create, manage and deliver tailored content experiences across a diverse range of digital channels, ultimately driving increased engagement, improved conversion rates and stronger customer loyalty.

What is personalised content management?

Personalised content management represents a strategic and systematic approach to creating, organising and delivering digital content specifically tailored to individual users’ unique attributes, inclinations and behaviours or clearly defined audience segments. This process hinges on effectively using data insights to ensure content is relevant and impactful in achieving desired marketing outcomes. It transcends the essential act of addressing a user by their name, delving deeper into understanding their motivations, needs and position within their customer journey to provide genuinely valuable content that resonates on a personal level.

Data drives personalised content strategy.

Demographic data gives you information on who your customers are. Examples include age, sex, location, hobbies or interests.

Contextual data provides brands with insight into how, where and when customers interact with your brand. Examples include specific devices or browsers customers use, sites they come from (referrals) or even their social media interactions.

Behavioural data is gathered from a user’s activity on a website. Behavioural data is centred on recurring purchasing behaviour and benefits that incentivise users to convert.

How Adobe Experience Manager Sites personalises content.

Adobe Experience Manager Sites provides a robust foundation to personalise and manage content at scale, empowering you with unique tools to create content once and quickly generate unlimited variations. This makes personalised content management achievable at scale across any channel.

Marketers can use customer data that allows them to build refined audience segments. Delivering personalised content that leverages deep insights to boost engagement is a crucial business need. However, manually creating numerous content variations to match each customer across every channel is a resource-intensive endeavour.

To truly resonate with the unique preferences of your diverse customer base, you need to implement effective personalised content management. This requires creating content that feels individually crafted without the need for manual creation of each piece. Adobe Experience Manager Sites equips your team to create content at scale and utilise your wealth of data to deliver experiences that are precisely tailored to each customer’s preferences.
