The Small Business Marketer's Guide to Understanding Your Customer
5 Use Cases to Personalize Customer Interactions
Customers want companies to meet them where they are. That means consistent interactions across departments and channels and experiences that are tailored to their wants and needs. So how do small businesses with fewer resources meet these customer expectations and stand out from the competition? They need to embrace new channels, use time-saving technologies like AI, and adopt new ways to personalize experiences.

88% of small business marketers believe they must continually innovate in order to remain competitive.

To meet these rising expectations, small businesses need a single view of the customer across departments. However, this is impossible if marketing, sales, service, and commerce use different platforms and point solutions. Without a single view of the customer, small businesses can’t use new technology to personalize customer interactions, they can’t use AI to automate processes, and they can’t deliver consistent experiences that customers demand.

39% of small business marketers say they don’t have real time data access to execute campaigns.
