Most companies struggle with their customer acquisition strategies. Most have an imbalance between investment and return on investment. Too often, this is because their communication is not relevant to their audience or people don’t feel particularly engaged by the messages. That’s where personalization comes in.
According to McKinsey, 50% of acquisition costs can be reduced by using personalization. Combined with the power of video content, this makes video personalization more important than ever. Video personalization helps brands make their communications more relevant and strike a chord with audiences.
