Best Practices– Set the expectation that personalization is not an overnight
success; it takes time.– Without creative content that speaks to different audiences and
segments, personalization will not be effective.– Think short and long term goals:– Measure each hypothesis against a control until it is a best
practice.– Allow learnings to inform the next set of hypotheses,
investments in content, resources, and marketing initiatives.– Think beyond your site

hypothesis– Identify customers and their journey– Make sure personas and research is up-to-date
