Focus on the journey

With site traffic continuing to grow but conversion relatively static, personalization was a way to move the needle.

Dotdigital wanted to address retail prospects across the whole journey, not just on the first experience or landing page. Therefore it was important that however they moved through the site, that they felt like Dotdigital was focused on their particular needs and they were driven to the next best action at every stage.
